Need another tight end.

[Mike the Brit]

The fluky one-handed catch part aside, both Hollister and Allen could easily make that same play running the same route if they were covered poorly like Derby was there, and if Brady threw them the ball.

We celebrate these "amazing one-handed catches", but a lot of the time they have to be one-handed because the throw was ****.

Chandler-Fail
Wright-fail
Bennett-not bad
Allen-fail

I agree with Chandler, Bennett & Allen; in the case of Tim Mister Wright, however,
I feel that he was never used as often as he could've been. It seemed that whenever
he was targeted, he just caught the damn ball.

AJ Derby?

I'm ok with the trade; it's not like he lit it up while he was here anyway.

Bill's failure lies in not adequately replacing him.

A TE based offense without a 2nd viable option....

This does present a bit of a sticky wicket.

And to think how quickly BB locked up Allen

 

[Ring 6]

Unless he gets his **** together, I see Allen going down the depth chart fast. His run blocking in the last game was pretty bad, and that was the one area he could have made himself very useful.

I thought he blocked pretty well.

Except it's not a TE based offense.

We are a TE-based offense when we have 2 quality tight ends that are better targets that WR#3. In 2017, we do NOT have a 2 TE based offense.

Gronk is a very special player. He is both a great receiver and a great blocker. When he is healthy AND we have another quality TE, we can consider emphasizing the TE. Also, we talked a lot about such an offense when Edelman and Mitchell went down. The reality is that with Cooks, Hogan, Amendola and Gronk, we favor the 3 WR set, with much more of a 2 RB set than last year.

Aj Derby?

A 6th round pick traded for a 5th-rounder that became Gillislee.

As I recall, he sucked as a blocker, especially downfield. Couldn't or wouldn't.

He played very well for Detroit in the pre-season game, and TB gave him a super-warm hug at the end.

But it's all good.

BB told Edelman that he'd forgotten more about football than he'd ever know. I bet that Edelman has forgotten more about football than I'll ever know. So ...

 

[Wax Frog]

As much as we would like better catch statistics for Allen, he needs more targets unless he somehow throws the ball to himself.

 

[Wheelman]

As with Panthers fans opinion of Jah Jah Lafell. The knock on Allen according to the clots fans was that Allen drops balls. Lafell at least for one season played better but then reverted back to that in 2015. I'm hoping we can get Allen to do what Lafell did in 2014.

Nah just need Burkhead to get healthy.

What an idiotic comparison.

What game did you watch?

Because I watched a game where the run blocking was good across the board including Allen.

Marty was a special kind of guy, could block, and was pretty good at catching the ball, he wasn’t as explosive as Gronk, but he did a pretty good job, on any other team he would be their #1 tight end and honestly I think he is top 5 tight end in the league. It was a commodity to have him last year. Sure we have lots of receivers but when Brady needed them the most only Amendola came through, having another weapon like dual tight end threat would give this team tons of advantage. Linebackers can’t always defend tight ends and they can easily overpower safeties.
