Opinion: Rod Smith to TE

[jblaze2004]

at 6'3 and 240 lbs he has the size to play it a bit. The skins TE's are about his size. I wonder if he can run routes, get open and catch with his hands consistently? ( With Zeke, Morris and McFadden I doubt Smith gets too many carries at RB).

We need a athletic TE that can make plays. Don't know how much longer Witten plans to play but we can see he had slowed way down already. Witten is steady, make tough catches and tough. #ThrowBackPlayer

Gavin Escobar was drafted for that reason. Unfortunately, Travis Kelce and Jordan Reed were taken a round after Escobar.

I like Rod, but I don't see him as a TE. Cross your fingers for Rico Gathers.

They would have gotten the same opportunities Escobar, Fasano, and Bennett got too. Pretty much none. Witten is entrenched and probably will be until he hangs up the cleats.

They would've gotten more chances had they shown more than Escobar, which is quite likely given their production.

The Cowboys moved up to get Escobar. He didn't get chances because he didn't show enough, which is why he's not on anyone's roster now. The Chiefs didn't like him enough to even be Kelce's back up.

Hanna ran a 4.4 forty. Athleticism is not the only criteria.

Whoever it is can they please force Written to show them how to run routes and do head/body fakes.

Tell Dez to go to that session too.

well he played safety in hs so i would try him at lb before i added yet another te
he admits he doesnt have Jaylons mind for it but does say he is stronger and faster
so theres that

i wouldnt move him though

 

[Alexander]

I vote for the fattest guy on the team to play NT.

They would have the size to play a bit.

I had a weird thought the other day, what if Rod ends up being the better Smith?

 

[Zekeats]

We need a foolish zone

 

[jblaze2004]

lol come on guys its the bye week and we look bad when we do play. Time to throw poop against the wall and see what sticks.

I was thinking Paea should've tried the middle linebacker gig before he retired..........

 

[sbark]

speaking of that..........what was the guys name, Cowboys had him in at FB, cut him.....and he went on to become a great TE with the Raiders.............Todd Christainson

I believe the story is that the Cowboys wanted to convert him but he refused. Was more willing by the time he ended up with the raiders.

Which will probably be real soon....

The real question is who was the better Hambrick: Troy or Darrin?

Possible but I would still take Emmitt.
