    I think we kept 4 TE's last year.

    The blocking was bad last year with Mack & Schwartz gone. And it only got worse as injuries hit the guard positions.

    I agree that we may pick up a veteran blocking TE....unless the McNamara kid turns out be a good blocker at the NFL level. (that would be cool)

    Good points. Like I've said before and Gumby just alluded to - we actually lined Spencer Drango up as a TE quite a bit last year if that says anything on behalf of the blocking we were getting from our Tight End position. But when we do something like this - it pretty much assures the defense we aren't throwing the football.

    I remember back when he had Winslow after countless lower body surgeries for knee and staph infections - he was only a fraction of the blocker he was coming out of college. Back then, we had to pick up a dual purpose guy and found a very underrated TE (Steve Heiden) from the Chargers. Using him kept us from tipping off any pass/run tendencies. Good Lord, that already feels like a lifetime ago.

    Hopefully, we'll find someone this preseason or discover we already have someone capable...

      No problem do I see. Njoku is not afraid of contact - just the opposite. He was a college YAC monster.

      and, he's very, very smart, can play different places in the offense. So can DeValve. They are both -really-

      athletic, and they are both -real- football players. should be exciting stuff. Two TE offense plays...

      can not wait to watch that.

        Coleman and Britt outside........Njoku and DeValve TE..............Crow or Duke at RB. - Is that you're thought?

          more like, DeValve (TE), in the slot maybe. I'm thinkin move them all over the place, find mismatches.

            One tidbit in a local Texans broadcast overview...

            Last year Texan QBs (mostly Brock) completed over 110 passes to TEs... 50 or more to each of their top two TEs, Fiedorowicz (54) and Griffin (50).

              So....what do you think the reason for this stat is?

              The Texas QB's like TE's?.....or the Texas offense likes TE's?.....or the Texas WR's bite?.....all of the above?.....none of the above?

                We lead the league with our QB's being hit with 140. Houston's OL was not the greatest allowing 97 hits on their QB's..It's got to be easier dinking a RB or dunking a TE before you would ever see a WR on a come back? Unless your name is Rogers(man what a arm) EDIT::With this Wide of Receiver Corp group we have 😉 Njoku should never be put in a 3 point stance on end of line..slot or Gronk wide is his moneymaker..

                  What's the implication (if any)?

                    Main point was that Brock threw a lot to TEs that on paper are nowhere near as gifted receivers as ones heading our roster... but:

                    • Certainly nothing wrong with a WR crew led by Hopkins, Strong, Fuller and Miller...
                    • In Bill-O's O I think TE are simpler, safer choices... lots of seams and delayed crosses... relatively easy reads.

                    Fiedorowicz is a now very good, well-balanced TE... one I happened to covet a couple drafts ago.

                        Could have been worse... could have culverted him.
