The tight end position is so under utilized by CLM that it is hard to fathom...to me the glaring difference between Alabama and LSU is the importance placed on the tight end as an offensive threat. The best all-round athlete on the field should be the tight end...imagine the Saint's not throwing to Jimmy Graham...what's up with that coach?


Please, name these great tes under saban.

And im sorry, but If we had Jimmy Graham, wed throw to him. Instead we are throwing to our nfl wrs.

We use the TE, the qbs just doesnt throw it to them. When we used them more last year, none of them could catch except dickson.

Mett (Germans by now I'm certain) missed the tight end in crucial situation(s) ..... Just not looking to go that way. There is no other answer. Would be nice to have multiple pro-type options. Wasn't that why Cam-Cam was brought on board? Just don't see the commitment. Shame on the offensive coordinator (IMHO).

Falls on two people.

Mett has two targets. Scared to death to throw in the middle of the field.

And

Coaching. Obviously Cam, Les, whoever, cannot teach Mett to throw over the middle and not stare down two people.

Jacobs could catch, but he got kicked off the team just as he was starting to become part of the game plan.

Mett doesn't look his or their way, he missed a sure easy TD against Bama.

Never believe Les. In fact, usually just the opposite...
