This is really a mess, but there are some talented guys in this group.</p>

<p>3 FBs coming to camp, and 7 TEs.  Here's how I see it...</p>

<p><strong>Starting Tight End - Jordan Cameron</strong></p>

<p>No battle here</p>

<p><strong>Tight End #2 - Jim Dray vs. Gary Barnidge</strong></p>

<p>Dray was brought in as mostly a solid run-blocker, while Barnidge is a better pass-catcher.  This competetion will come down to who can do both jobs well and can have the versatility to block and catch passes.</p>

<p><strong>Full Back - Chris Ogbonnaya vs. Ray Agnew vs. Jourdan Brooks vs. MarQueis Gray</strong></p>

<p>I think Shanahan would like to have a FB on the roster, but this is a tough situation here.  IMHO Gray and Ogbonnaya have the most upside b/c of their versatility.  The problem is Ogby did not show the ability to be a solid FB last year, and I think that experiment is over. Gray seems to have the most upside here b/c of his versatility and ability to play TE or FB.  The other two are young dark horses in this race.</p>

<p><strong>TE3/FB2/HB - Loser of the TE2 competetion vs. Loser of the FB competetion vs James Oboh vs Emmanuel Ogbuehi vs Keavon Milton</strong></p>

<p>2 TEs and 1 FB isn't enough, so I think a TE3/FB or H-back will be kept on the roster.  I don't know much about these guys but there will be an awful lot of competetion, and again, I believe it will come down to versatility more than anything else.</p>

<p><strong>Eligible for Practice Squad: </strong>Agnew, Brooks, Oboh, Ogbuehi</p>

<p><strong>My picks to make the roster:</strong></p>

<p>TE1 - Jordan Cameron</p>
<p>TE2 - Jim Dray</p>
<p>TE3 - Gary BArnidge</p>
<p>H-back - MarQueis Gray</p>

<p>PS - Ray Agnew</p>

<p><strong>Release - </strong>Ogby, Brooks, Oboh, Ogbuehi, MIlton</p>

<p>3 experienced TEs who can fill-in in the right situations, plus a guy in Gray who is very versatile who has been playing FB in minicamp.  Keep Agnew around on the PS in case the Gray experiment doesn't work.  Seems like a solid plan to me.  I'll miss Ogby here, but I think his time is up...</p>

<p>Offensive Line will be next...</p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/topic/29631/training-camp-battles-by-position-group-fb-te</link><generator>RSS for Node</generator><lastBuildDate>Thu, 01 Oct 2026 05:11:21 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link href="https://brownsboard.com/topic/29631.rss" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><pubDate>Mon, 23 Jun 2014 19:40:30 GMT</pubDate><ttl>60</ttl><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Training Camp Battles (by position group): FB/TE on Sat, 28 Jun 2014 19:05:30 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<blockquote><p><a class="plugin-mentions-user plugin-mentions-a" href="/user/topdawg31" aria-label="Profile: topdawg31">@<bdi>topdawg31</bdi></a> <a href="/post/417226">said</a>:</p><p>Not sure I am understanding your stats, Cameron did not catch 106 passes or have 1176 yards receiving, was this over two seasons?</p></blockquote>

<p>Cool, thanks for that. Yeah, not a huge difference except for TDs. Averaged 8 catches a game with Hoyer, and roughly 7 with everyone else. Small sample size sure, but tells me Hoyer looks his way when the zone turns red.</p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/post/417056</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brownsboard.com/post/417056</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ibleedbrown]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 26 Jun 2014 22:36:41 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Training Camp Battles (by position group): FB/TE on Thu, 26 Jun 2014 04:07:38 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<blockquote><p><a class="plugin-mentions-user plugin-mentions-a" href="/user/miktoxic" aria-label="Profile: miktoxic">@<bdi>miktoxic</bdi></a> <a href="/post/416939">said</a>:</p>

<p>Redskins fullback was used as an actual blocking back. 250 LBer</p>

<p>The oby experiment was an unmitigated disaster.</p>

<p>Rest assured ... We will have a fullback on the roster.</p>

It's Cameron then everybody else at this point.</p>

<p>
I hope we get another good TE in next years draft. My biggest needs are WR/TE/FB.</p>

<p>
Cameron is amazing and I'm looking for an encore performance this year, possibly even out doing last year with the QB carousel. He need to continue to improve and I think he'll be solid.</p>

<p>
I'm only just a little afraid that injury could derail the entire position. That's why we need to invest in another stud TE.</p>

<p>
Need a bruiser at FB(one that can block and catch...actually, maybe Crowell could be that guy?- don't know much about him other than his measurables). </p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/post/416836</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brownsboard.com/post/416836</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[PoeticG]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 25 Jun 2014 03:41:23 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Training Camp Battles (by position group): FB/TE on Wed, 25 Jun 2014 03:10:36 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>I hope Gray wins the fullback job.

<p>Spent a few minutes perusing the site, and apparently every player gets a listing, with some seemingly getting more action than others. Tashaun Gipson is scandalous! Intersting stuff...</p>

<p>Anyway, a serious reply. Cameron is a lock. I think Dray makes it as they brought him in to be the bruising blocking bookend. </p>

<p>TE 3 is between Barnidge and Gray. I know the reports are that Gray is trying FB out for size, but l also heard he's catching the ball well. Seems to me if he's a good enough blocker to play FB, and he can catch, might be a better fit for TE. So l say he edges out Barnidge, despite his exploits with the ladies. </p>

<p>Still not sold on the FB thing, like if they'll get one they like enough to keep. Agnew is l think the only true FB on the roster, so l give him the nod if they take one. </p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/post/416828</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brownsboard.com/post/416828</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ibleedbrown]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 25 Jun 2014 02:51:08 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Training Camp Battles (by position group): FB/TE on Tue, 24 Jun 2014 12:28:11 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>Since I had Ogby included in my RB depth, no long goodbyes there.</p>
