TE Michael Roberts

A few days ago you guys were foaming at the mouth and said Roberts looked like a real keeper.

Yeah but see now he plays for the Packers so...

Could the Titans trade TE Jonnu Smith to the Patriots?

NFL Events: Combine Player Profiles - Jonnu Smith

I'm down with that.

Are you new here?

I can dig it. Or even Bears TE Adam Shaheen; just needs to develop his blocking (but who doesn’t these days).

Rams trading Tyler Higbee to Patriots would make sense for both teams

Height: 6-6 Weight: 255 Age: 26
Born: 1/1/1993 Atlanta , GA

STRENGTHS
Former wide receiver with a smooth, wide-open gait when he hits top gear. Has big hands. Had just one drop this season and showed ability to recover the catch when he juggled a throw. Becomes a body catcher who can protect the ball in traffic. Willing to work middle of the field and take hits. Quick and slippery off line of scrimmage and into routes. Very good acceleration out of his breaks and can be a tough cover for safeties. Has the speed and toughness to work all three levels of the field. Can own the Y-seam with his vertical speed and hands. Immediately opens and looks for expedited throws when he's over the top of inside linebackers. Has frame for more muscle mass. Extremely competitive after the catch with speed, elusiveness and decent power. Can carry body tacklers after the catch.

WEAKNESSES
Still has work to do filling out his frame. Slow to adjust to blocking assignment during flow of play. Not powerful enough yet to handle NFL edge power as inline blocker. Doesn't run feet through block to sustain. Upright into his breaks. Needs route polish for underneath routes. Can get better at creating additional leverage through crisper routes. Suffered through a knee sprain that cost him four games before re-aggravating it in Conference USA Championship Game. Missed his bowl game and expected to miss Senior Bowl because of it.

Guess he wasn't meant to play yet.

Shouldn't this thread have been closed because the trade was rescinded?

Man when he gets healthy the Roberts sweepstakes are going to dominate the NFL rumor boards for weeks.

At least renaming it would be a start. And that is an opinion not a fact.

One group of Patsfans posters expresses opinion A.

Second group of Patsfans posters expresses opinion B.

Its not hypocrisy until actual individual posters try to have it both ways.
