George Frazier & Eddy Lopez at TE: How many catches this year for the TEs?
- Thread starter PAC MAN
- Start date
yes. 0, 1, 2, or 3 catches are all lower than 4, and all possible.
I mean, Dylan Keeney and Jared Poplawski will be the pass-catchers, right? I'd image Montez is a little better at finding the tight end, especially as a safety valve. He will scramble a lot more than Sefo, and sometimes you just need to toss a duck to a giant guy 5 yards from the LOS

More than 10. Montez spreads the ball like sefo never could .
Why do people think this is a QB-driven issue with the TEs? Montez saw significant playing time last year and it had zero affect on TE usage. The fact of the matter is that the TEs on the roster the past few years have not been good enough receivers for the coaches to warrant having them play a significant role in the passing game.
I don't think it was a qb issue, I just think that Sefo and Montez play quarterback differently. The offense last year was Sefo's offense. I think that Lindgren is gonna change things around to suit Montez more, and having a safety valve for scrambles is a part of that
Last season Keeney was a pass dropper.

I know it doesn't translate 100% but looking at NFL where TEs can create such mismatches especially middle of the field it's
weird how CU has gone so far from that lately. Is it more of a pro set offense kind of weapon? Combination of poor TEs, schemes to help Oline blocking, Sefo not good over middle, etc?

How many drops?
Folks - many teams run a package like this, including CU. We've been running it for at least 5 years now. It's not our base offense, but more of a short yardage package.
Short yardage offense is hardly indicative of the quality of the OL.

That was my understanding as well.

Frazier is playing on defense from what I was told.
As far as the TE, come on! We have at least 8 WRs that are more talented and can do more with the ball than a TE. Maybe Poplawski changes that but for now, I like the WRs getting every target and only utilizing the TE as need be. Play the most talented guys which is not any of the TEs.
