re: TE play Will Improve

Desean Smith has some of the best hands you will ever find on a TE. That was the first ball thrown to him in the first game of the season. Cut the guy some slack, we are very lucky to have him on our roster and he will do BIG things for us!

With Smith's size, receiving is his only advantage.
He saw a few plays early last year. I'm assuming the reason we haven't seen more of him is we have better blockers, and he has shown the same pass catching ability in practice as we saw Saturday night.
I, for one, will be surprised if he becomes a part of the offense moving forward. Dropping a ball is one thing. Giving up your feet, squaring to use your chest and still dropping it is another.

until he does, let's not give him props. BUT, it was his first game and he is young.

He might. But he dropped an easy one...and looked bad while doing it. He was already going to the ground on a catch that he should have been able to handle while keeping his feet.
He looked good in the spring. He's just another young player that needs to put the jitters behind him.
