Why has the tight end been virtually non existent since Richard Dixon?

Dickson's season high in yards was 375, i don't know why people think he was some huge asset. We haven't had a legit TE in a long time hopefully Smith and Jacorey Washington change that

He was a fantastic pass-catching TE. He could've been an All-American if we had a coach who had a clue on how to use the TE as an offensive weapon. His potential ended up being wasted for the most part, and his brother is experiencing the same thing.

Don't count on it.

Didn't before the season Cam talked about how effective the TE would be in this offense and how much they would get the ball?

Robert Royal was the last TE to be a part of the O.

until this year we could barely throw to WRs much less TE's



I think next year D Smith will be really good

Gary Crowton left for greener pastures and took his tight end plays with him.

Well if your qb is only looking for his 2 top targets then what else do you want the coach or tight end to do. Mett missed a wide open Gordon down the seams against florida and again missed dixon wide open down the middle of the field against bama,,,,choosing instead to throw to Landry who was double covered.

Really thought that Cam would do a better job of utilizing the tight end. Before Cam though, I thought Deangelo Peterson had all the tools to be a stud TE, but he never got the looks he deserved.

We sign TE's regularly and never see them catch a pass. No matter how highly rated they are.

Deangelo Peterson had all the physical tools with no heart...
