Because if we can get one that can do more than just block we may actually throw to him. The last TE that could catch well & spent his alloted full time at AU was CJU.

I do think we will use them more if we ever get some on campus with similar skill sets as CJ. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we put offers out to TE’s there’s always one post typically at the start of a thread that beats the same dead horse and you got to be that one post today! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aubaseball 2,585 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 If AU had any kind passing game concept, you would see a steady set of receptions per position on a consistent basis. For example: the number one receiver would be getting approximately 80 catches, #2 about 40, a TE about 40, RB’s about 40 and the rest to other receivers. CGM does not have a concept or game plan that dictates that he will utilize all of these in a game plan. Just my thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGM does not have a concept or game plan that dictates that he will utilize all of these in a game plan. Just my thoughts Not sure where your game plan comes from but looking at the Clemson stats for the season....4 receivers had between 50 and 60 receptions each and six other guys had between 10 and 20......and the TE had 5 catches. Oklahoma ..top two guys had 75 and 65 and TE was third with 26. I'm thinking there is not some standard passing distribution system as you have described. Considering how Clemson spread the passing around, it appears the TE was not a critical factor and only had one TD and Okies used him some...but not that much. JMO but coaches have to decide how to use the tools they have and one size does not fit all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Why does Malzahn keep recruiting / signing TE's when we don't use them like other teams play TE's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are going to need one in this class. 2 are graduating. Joiner has moved to RB. We'll essentially have 3 players for sometimes 2 different positions after this season. Seems likely we take a HB/TE in the class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
