I totally agree. The fact that Jennings rolls out so much, we need to develop that TE threat so that when he does Roll Out, if the WR's are not open, he still has the option to dump it to a TE rolling to the Side line for a couple yard gain at least. Dural's #s are gaudy because Jennings has thrown to him and seen him to be dependable. With more TE reps, they will certainly haul it in more and give Jennings that confidence to 1) Start looking for them to be open, and 2) throw it to them in such roll out situations.


I do think however, it is more important for us to get that accuracy and dependability of throwing to our RB's during short RB rollouts. I think it makes the playbook more simple for our players while making it hard for defenses to block us. As someone pointed out in the Rant in another tread, the Fournette & Hilliard 2 RB set could become incredibly threatening. We could Run with either one or throw to either one. This forces the LB's to spread out and focus on both, making each play more effective as well.

No it doesn't. If it's Neighbors instead of Hilliard do you think they'll just let him run free?
