What took so long to start ultilizing our TE

In the passing game. Everyone was so excited seeing the offense finally use them which helped our QB's confidence in the spring game yesterday.

We'll see what happens in September.

Go back and listen to Richard Dickson't interview during last season. He gave some good perspective on the lack of confidence that the coaching staff had in throwing to the middle of the field. I hope it happens more this year.

Dickson had catches in the Alabama, Arkansas, and Texas A&M game, but the doors busted open in the Music City Bowl. DeSean Smith had FOUR receptions in the Music City Bowl. That's more catches than everyone else on the team combined.

The coaching staff just wanted to be sure that that was what the fans really wanted to see.

I hope that Smith has a breakout year

let's wait to see if we actually use our tight ends during a real game before we have this conversation...

We haven't utilized shite yet.

I would not consider that corner turned just after watching the spring game or just after listening to pre season rhetoric.

It's time that we actually have passing catching TEs to compliment our big bruisers like Shipley and Gordon. DeSean Smith, Jacory Washington, and Colin Jeter all excel as route-runners and pass catchers and they will be utilized this year. You saw in the Music City bowl and the spring game where Smith was used as a hot read in a crossing route. In the spring game, Jeter ran a corner route and Jennings just had to put the ball up because no one could cover him. Gordon can also be used as an underneath possession receiver coming off the line as well. Instead of the TEs running a seam to try to pull LBs out of the middle so that WRs could run dig routes, they'll be used more like receivers and less like diversions.

Because the TE position is not part of the passing game in Miles philosophy but a major player in the running game. What non-Crowton offense in the Miles era has utilized the TE much in the pass game? And even then not heavily involved in the game plan throughout the season.

The TE will be 7's good friend.

What do you mean. They threw to him on the very first play.

Because in Les' old school philosophy, the TE is basically an extra OL as noted by the massive size of our TEs this year and in years past. Blocking first, catching second. I think we'll see that start to change now though.
