But he always favored larger DEnds, and letting LBs make plays, there is more to style of D than just alignment.

Just means there was interest from other teams, the money is still peanuts to the team.

Hard to have passing sessions when you are learning a new offense.

I don't really consider him a lock, just looking at different possibilities.

Week 10 of season 2....so I rounded up to 3.....technically closer to 2.5.

One season CJ Spiller had more balls thrown to him, than handed/tossed to him. Jalen Hurd did it from College to the NFL, got drafted as a WR, then had a bunch of injury issues. I'm sure there have been others that have done it, but I really don't feel like doing a bunch of research on it.

There is a reason it took almost 3 seasons for him to score a TD

I think people have looked at the Ds the Patriots ran for years under BB and that is the only style they know, we are obviously looking at different types of players now.

I really think this is part of it, with Pop leaving the bench Tomlin is the longest tendered coach in American professional sports, I looked up when they last won a championship, and last got to the finals. Mike Tomlin - Won 2008 , Finals 2010 Erik Spoelstra - Won 2012-2013, Finals 2022-2023...

If he was 6'2 240 and blocked his ass off, maybe I would consider him in Henry's role, but he doesn't. Currently we have two TEs that are flexible enough to play either TE role, and those are they guys we are looking at replacing in another year or two. It isn't as much about fitting a prototype...

Are you thinking about someone else? He ran 4.69 at the combine at 6'5 256....plenty fast enough

But he is undersized to replace either Henry or Hooper; UDFA Dippre is a better fit to learn to play the position at the NFL level; and Lampe at FB is more valuable as he can actually block.

We just see him differently, he isn't a great athlete in any of the measured categories; he doesn't generally run routes well enough to create space; and he doesn't seem to be self driven enough to put in the extra work to learn a playbook. He can make highlight catches, and that seems to be...

Let's not forget that numbers aren't official until after the final countdown to 53; these could change. Don't go ordering your jerseys now.

Bell was a 7rd flyer, might as well have been a UDFA.....I would say one of the UDFA TEs or FB make it over him; Baker I just don't think he has it to play outside in the NFL.

Happens every year, and every year it confuses people... :whistle:

I think he would be more of a Meyers slot, who he actually compares well to, and wouldn't have to learn how to run routes or catch.

Baker couldn't get on the field with the worst WR corp in the league, had issues lining up correction and running the right routes. I think expecting anything out of him is a long shot, specially with a scheme/language change......I think people got excited watching his crazy acrobatic catches...

The Larison move was something I contemplated as well.

Jules was a different animal.
