Article: The Patriots' Tight End Problem is Becoming Critical

[Wozzy]

Take a look at Asiasi at the top of the screen, hell take a look at Sony in the middle and Jakob at the bottom as well... maybe Devin should have thrown a shoe at Cam to get his attention?



Why aren't Asiasi, Keene, N'Keal, Gunner, Jakobi and Byrd better?

Oh yeah... Cam.

 

[DropKickFlutie]

The TE coach has a really uninspiring background. He's lucky to just have a job

Asiasi is 10 yards wide open on this one. Good clip

Four open guys in one clip... it's been this way all year.

Not the point, quit moaning about "weapons." A Ferrari in the garage and no money for gas won't get you laid.

You can have the Ferrari, I’ll take the Bugatti!

Ferrari, Bugatti, it doesn't matter. You got Stevie Wonder behind the wheel so you're going nowhere.

I think stevie wonder would look good behind the wheel of a pagani huayra or even a koenigsegg jesko.

Are those automobiles?

 

[Ochmed Jones]

Are those automobiles?

yes. I do not think the pagani is street legal in the states.

however I have driven the koenigsegg and it is a magnificent drive. Closest thing I have ever driven to a Bugatti. But not worth 3 million bucks.

All the great offenses have a good well rounded TE. We don't attack the middle of the field anymore

Passing Judgement On Patriots Rookie Tight Ends Might Be Premature - NESN.com

Patriots tight ends Devin Asiasi and Dalton Keene have been massive disappointments as rookies so far this season.

nesn.com

After today the Pats are dead last in tight end league receptions and yards. The only team in the entire league with zero TE touchdowns all year. Article above for why it's impossible to judge our young TEs given they haven't been given a chance all season.

We need a new offensive coordinator who:
1. Is committed to developing tight ends,
2. Actually calls plays for tight ends to attack the middle of the field.
3. Realizes that Cam (or any other QB) needs tight ends in the passing game to alleviate pressure off WRs and RBs. Any good offense has strong TE play in the passing game.

Asiasi has run the most routes among all TEs without a target or catch this year. Josh McDaniels isn't even trying with tight ends. League worst TE production this year just like McDaniels had in St Louis (league worst offense) and in Denver (league worst offense). With Brady gone covering for a lot of OC mistakes, we need a new coordinator here. One will incorporate tight ends and stop forcing play calls to NKeal bust Harry.

I didn't even realize #44 was a tight end. I just figured he was another fullback....

 

[Froob]

Would Izzo even make most rosters, let alone be the #1?

 

[Sciz]

Would Izzo even make most rosters, let alone be the #1?

This came up last year, and we learned that nobody knows the backup tight ends on other teams. We can do some direct comparison in that Eric Tomlinson, Andrew Beck, and Eric Saubert have all played this season after failing to stick on the Patriots' roster last season, but I'm not sure how we're supposed to compare Izzo to guys like Cethan Carter, Tyler Davis, Reggie Gilliam, or Colin Thompson.

I heard Bill O'brien is available.

I think he was pretty good with TEs

I'd be all for Bill OBrien back as coordinator.

Anyone who has eyes and is not a useless homer knows Cam is the source of every offensive problem this year.
Fact.
Question is - has JMD run his course with this organization? Is he the guy to be creative and open enough to build with a new QB?
I'll never doubt that BB can get the most out of a team. But his proxy Defense has gotten worse of late, and he has the fatal flaw of overthinking and burning out would-be-stars with his Parcellian mind games.

No it isn't premature.

Our TEs ****ing suck...ALL of them.

Over-drafted by MULTIPLE rounds.

Whoever recommended taking those two ****ing stiffs that early should be ****ing fired...same as the ****ing idiot who recommended that plodding carc-ass Jennings...
