Gotta be in it to win it, so nice to at least get a visit.
Ready the unicorn.
I know the word had been that he didn't exactly gel with his prospective FSU teammates, not sure what that was about though. Anyways, do we have two unicorns available?
Unicorn better be ready for the Cougs.

Yep, Brian Kelly and Jeff Tedford are probably stiff for McNamara, Embree too. I think we all know who's winning that battle :nod:.

It was an (apparently poor) attempt at a joke. Consider the connotation of the post and a certain stereotype. I'll leave it at that.

If I were a TE who dreams of playing in the league one day I would be very interested in playing for Embree. Between his experience as a college and NFL TE and his experience coaching at the NFL level he has the technical expertise to teach what a guy needs to know to succeed in the NFL. He also is already showing that he will use his TEs in a balanced manner as keys in both the running game and in the passing game as both recievers and blockers.
A lot of guys in college are great at one aspect or another but the pros usually don't have time to teach and develop an entire aspect of the game. A guy who can come in and adapt to what the league wants him to do has a much better chance of getting drafted and ending up on a roster.

Be don't talk up Brookhart enough. Even if we didn't have one of the top TE coaches in the nation as our HC, put our position coach had two Belitnikoff winners at WR while he was at Pitt. He's our pass game coordinator so you know you'll get the ball as a TE, and he's also our special teams coordinator so you know you'll have a good chance to play early there.
And Harper as well, I see.
Deehan was one of the lone bright spots last weekend. As long as teams continue to focus on PRich I think we can keep feeding that deep seam.
I think that this is going to be the longterm trend with this teams offense. Ideally they are going to have mid-level and deep threats outside with the WRs to pull the safeties out and back, a solid running attack both inside and off-tackle to keep the LBs up. The result of this will be an open middle for the TEs, especially off of play-action.
The problem is getting there. With PRich we have a reciever who is both a deep threat and an effective mid-level reciever. TClem has been inconsistent but I hold out a lot of hope for McCulloch as that mid-level threat to balance the field. Our three WR commits show a lot of promise for the future as well but you never know about recruits until they actually do it on the field.
I like what I see from Jones as a future RB but question his ability to be "the" guy in this offense. Getting a commit from Wes Brown would be huge in this area along with turning a couple of more big O-linemen who can open holes for the running game.
If it all comes together like we hope, this offense will be a showcase for talented TEs to audition for the Pros.
booo
****, that isnt good. Hope he visits sometime.

Maybe he and Dillon are coming on the same weekend. Let's hope.

He came down with the flu... played in his game but it would have made for a long trip with the time he would have been leaving and getting into Boulder. Probably a good thing overall. Sounds like he REALLY likes CU/Embree and plans to reschedule:
"I've been throwing up the last few days and have a 103-degree fever," McNamara said. "It's awful timing because we have a big game on Friday and I really wanted to see Colorado. I'm still going to suck it up and play in the game but I don't think i'll have the strength to do the visit.
"my flight was at 4:00 a.m. ET in the morning on Saturday and I think i'll just be wiped out. I'll re-schedule for sure though because I like Colorado a lot. Coach Embree is awesome, he' s a former tight end himself and the have one of the best coaching staffs in America. They need tights and playing time is available so it's a good situation there for sure."
