https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/V/VanSBe00/gamelog/ Yeah good STer, Just no roster category for those, you have to put some label on him. TBH I really wasn't paying attention to ST last year

It doesn't really gave anything to do with Goedert

Goedert is the TE... he would still play TE when Van Sumeran lines up at FB. The guy was a good blocker as a FB. Not really difficult.... it seems you are getting in Ham mode trying to make a simple thing complicated.

If Goedert WENT DOWN we could use him to BLOCK for Calc. Nothing complicated about that C'mon now

When I brought up Van Sumeren switching positions wasn’t trying to start some massive debate about the position.

Clearly we asked him to change positions and would think he only changes if he thinks he has a strong chance at making the team… if not why would he ever change from LB.

other aspect of Sumeren was used on STs

Last year Sumeren had like 20 snaps at FB as a lead blocker didn’t result in any stats to be recorded don’t get a stat for blocking. He got hurt around the mid season point when it looked like we were starting to increase his usage.

I know there was some rule about Sumeren Jersey # as well that made using him More at FB complicated why he changed #s for this season

If you have an excellent ST player. .but he isn't going to give you many snaps as a LB... and has the blocking skills...why not dress him and allow him to play a few snaps at FB in addition to the ST snaps. No plan B... just an excellent plan A.

This is the key. If looking at a core ST player? That’s how you can roster the FB. Possibly…no guarantees.

We have several unproven TEs in here…could see one of them develop into being versatile.

We have some good role pieces behind Geodart but don’t see any of them being serious replacement options for him after this season

Still lot of offseason left though sure we see couple of moves made before the season starts possibly some trades

I more thinking about a guy can be used just in a variety of ways more than Goedert replacement. Maybe a guy that can play FB…and a few differing TE roles.

How woud Godert play if he went down(aka injured)?

????

So what did he play for all 22 snaps last year? 22 snaps all year doesn't seem like a huge contribution

Why does the FB contribution have to be " huge "? He was arguably the best ST player...they started using him at FB a few games before he got hurt. What's wrong with that strategy?

He isn't a TE. Stop it

EJ Jenkins feels like the guy kind of setting the bar for that final TE position.

The depth in that TE room is where we need a guy or two …step up here.
