I love the move. If he is willing to use the TE's, which I'm sure he will be, then this offense will be even scarier next season.
.
The Rams were top 5 in the NFL in usage of 2 TE sets with mediocre talent at the position (Hoomanawanui, Kendricks, etc.) so he'll have no problem using 2 elite talents like Gronk and Hernandez. It's pretty clear McDaniels is one of those who thinks the game is involving in a way that makes TE mismatches now and he's got 2 of the best in the league now.My only worry with mcdaniels is, isn't there a stigma that he doesn't use tight ends very well in his offense? I can't remember where i am getting this from and maybe it's wrong but i thought that was a trend of his.
Hey as long as this doesn't affect the team in the playoffs negativley i am all for it
Belichick is bringing Josh back as OC because BOB relies too much on TEs. Josh will get the ball to Branch, Ocho and Tiquan with the TEs as blockers and 4th options. This will reduce the TEs' numbers and make their next contracts value deals.
Can he coach defense?
I'm really curious to know the $$$.
give it an hour or so it will be merged to the thread u mentionedNot to be an ******* or anything, but why not just add that to the existing McD thread?
I think the stigma your referring to was created here, people keep repeating that McDaniels doesn't use tight ends well. Something will get repeated on here some many times it gets a life of its own and becomes fact. Also I don't think he really had any decent ones to work with when he was last here. Certainly not the caliber of Gronk and Hernandez.My only worry with mcdaniels is, isn't there a stigma that he doesn't use tight ends very well in his offense?

This is great news, not only for this play-off run, but also for the future.
We should start grooming one of the younger kids though as Josh will eventually get another HC shot.
Just saw this reported on the Detroit/New Orleans halftime show on NBC.
Great news.
Belichick has been trying to find tight ends like these for 10 years, so why would he try to minimize their impact? No way...

You are right that it was considered a trend in the past, but it's tough to fault McDaniels for that. We didn't use the TE's a lot because they just weren't that good. Watson was used just as little in 2009 when McDaniels was gone and we had a glaring need for someone to step up due to having Galloway/Aiken as the 3rd WR.
