It's easy, and only takes a few moments.You almost have to wonder, the depth at TE is so seemingly deep, imagine if Gronk, Chandler, Wright, Davis, Derby and even Hooman showed really well this offseason. Would they cut half the group, or would BB task McDaniels with implementing a super sweet 3 or 4 TE set?
So how about a set with Gronk, Chandler, Davis, Derby and Wright on the line, then suddenly Gronk splits out wide and Wright lines up in the backfield, they run the play, the line plows forward and Brady fakes a handoff to Wright, pulls it in, but then tosses it across field laterally to Derby who had slipped into the backfield a la Edelman and tosses it 30 yards to a sprinting Gronk.
Too much Tight End?
If you want to develop a raw player you either keep him on the roster or put him on the practise squad. By putting the player on PUP or IR you do the exact opposite to develop them as they can't practise.I fully expect Derby to be PUPed and IRed unless Davis is cut and there are injuries. Redshirting rookies generally doesn't work but this seems like a case where it would make sense assuming he has a viable injury at the time.
But can he rush the passer?
People sure are down on a guy who came across in a trade with SFA time to properly integrate himself into the playbook/team. I'd like to see what Wright can do with a full offseason under his belt before throwing him out with the bathwater.
I have to ask the obligatory Tight End question. Can he block?
Could Tim Wright be converted back to WR, or does he lack the speed?
