AUApostle 7,651 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I think you can transition from regular football to dummy football quickly...not so sure you can transition from dummy football to a modern offense without it being a multi-year effort. And with a shaky OL and inconsistent QB, doesn't look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of guys popped on that list, but I don't remember Deal being one of them. I read somewhere earlier today that he's actually working more on the pass catching and route running aspects of the TE position, with getting faster being his primary focus.

Your point still stands though lol. 22 hours ago, Dual-Threat Rigby said: The only thing I'd like to know is if this was done with the idea that he's just fallen behind in terms of offensive value during the spring or they were just chomping at the bit to get him on the DL, and he was needed that bad. One outcome would have me optimistic about the TE room, the other might have me pessimistic about the DL. I know it was cool having JJ as a TE/HB and he was definitely a beast blocking, but I think this move should have been made as soon as he stepped foot on Campus. I mean...he didn't exactly light it up last year with his carries or receptions. Yes he can move well for a man of 300 lbs. but he isn't going to outrun a LB or DB IMO. He can be an absolute beast on the DL with his athleticism though. I think the TE room is one of the best on the roster and will be just fine without him in it. The DL is automatically better and deeper if you ask me. 11 hours ago, W.E.D said: I'll be interested to see what he looks like in August. He never really had a body of a TE, but he wasn't working out to be a DT either. He's 308 now, I wouldn't be surprised if he was 320 and still pretty lean looking Look at his legs. He doesn't have the legs of a TE. There isn't a TE in the NFL that looks like him. He has a the body of a hoggy, period. Embrace it and take advantage.

cole256 17,084 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 As far as JJ the way I always looked at it was what if he fulfilled all potential. Between the 2 positions there's a big gap as far as impact if he does. If it translates he has potential to be all time great at d tackle. But that's just my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think both of those things should've been expected. Gus's system is clearly problematic and helps nerfs QB's mental clock, but Bo also just has a bad mental clock and wasn't great at reading the field when the option was there. I can only imagine how he's doing in a pro style, high level language offense OL just needs the touch of Midas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What can he do that our other TE's can't do and possibly better? I actually think he played really well. Deal is our best blocker IMO. Frazier is probably our best pass catching option. I mean where does JJ shine in the room other than..."oh boy here comes the 300 lb TE...who is nimble on his feet. I like him in a GL set but that is about it. I think it's just the novelty of him being 300 lbs and really athletic....for 300 lbs.....I am just happy he moved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, the carries as far as running went still went according to how I described them. There's no TE on our roster that's doing much better than that. He seemed to be a pretty average catching TE, maybe above average if you consider his weight, not a great feel for being out in space though.
