Who are we talking about cutting that’s of such quality? Heck…even NFL level even hardly(proven anyway)?

Heck…even NFL level even hardly(proven anyway)?We have a good team. Good depth. Some quality prospects with potential. I’ll volunteer at S probably cutting a quality player. Not really sure who anybody would be talking about much otherwise.

Daniels was absolutely fantastic. He’s had several QBs. He’ll never be a top five WR…ever. He just isn’t at that tier and level. Are you really going to make a case that any QB turns McLauren into a better WR than AJ?

Believe once you actually do this….it becomes very very clear….McLauren isn’t at those guys level…never could or can be.

He obviously is in jeapardy for next season.As a fan, I hope a compromise can be achieved, as I don't see any good alternatives on the immediate horizon.Warren (PSU) caught my interest as the season progresed, but his stock went thru the roof.Facts are we don’t rely on TE massively. Goedert isn’t much of a Red Zone TE either. Just consistently missing a few games every season. We are overpaying him right now. This will be his last season here. He’s a good all around TE. Not trying to just dog him out. Understand Rosie slapped this band aid on for this season with Goedert. No problem with the move that was made.

Alot of teams will take catch only TE's and use them as offensive weapons only(see Pitts for example). it's difficult to find TE's that are 100% great at both(see Gronk).It seems to me as though colleges are not focusing on teaching blocking, so most of the TE's you see coming out ALL need taught on blocking techniques Of course there are a few exceptions as always, but that's what I am seeing. So really any drafted TE we take we would need to see that have the POTENTIAL and the willingness to learn how to block effectively. The LSU TE(Mason) was a good example also. LSU really focuses on route running for all their receivers including TE, but once again, he will need to be taught how to block,if his team even asks him to do it. So we need to find a kid that has blended upside in both areas. Since most are "either/or" you can only guess/predict how far they can go on their "minor" trait. Howie is giving alot of TE's a shot in camp,some newbies and some that have experience, but somehow became afterthoughts on their team. The kid from the Raiders should have a nice chip on his shoulders. I hope we exploit that. We shall see. I will admit I was a bit surprised we didn't take a TE in round 3 last draft.

But apparently the scouts didn't see any worth banging the table overFirst…by we tend to like a certain TE. So are you agreeing with me it’s Siri’s O? Otherwise by all your previous shared thoughts this would be the first season in Patullo’s O. Second….clearly pass catching is what is valued the most for TEs. Top notch blocking TEs aren’t drafted early. It’s all these receiving TEs. Over and over …every year. Receiving from TEs is what gets paid in the NFL also. Just the way things are.
July 17, 2025Jul 17 Goedert was inherited by Siri….or if anybody actually believes..Patullo. So really not much at all to base things on for either coach. One TE…who was already here before they got here.
July 17, 2025Jul 17 Big picture plan I’m liking at TE from Rosie here. Goedert and Calc…..either could possibly be retained for the future. But there is a future need at the position. So Rosie went hard at the positions depth to try and uncover that future need…on the cheap.
July 17, 2025Jul 17 Just now, GreenbleedinNC said:WOW are you really this thick? As I STATED most other teams draft THEIR TE's as basically big WR's, WE DO NOTWho thinks this way? Patullo? Siri? What are you basing this opinion on for either?

If you can do it better than Howie,you need to go bang on Luries doorMy statement was clearly stating that roster building revolves around the fact you can’t do that at all. Terrible comprehension from you. You have to make choices. Quality of player versus contract details.

He didn’t play like a rookie. Frankly…what is it you are looking for Daniels to do so much better? I wouldn’t trade Smitty for McLauren. For whatever that’s worth. Don’t feel like I’m tearing McLaraun down either…those top WR in today’s game are the best the game has ever seen.

You picked a bad argument on this one. Your boy Dan Marino couldn’t lift McLauren above Jefferson and this crew. Jefferson really never has enjoyed a season that McLauren just had with Daniels at QB…EVER.

July 17, 2025Jul 17 1 minute ago, mattwill said:That is an interesting take. Why do you think it’s going to be that way?Let’s say Fangio was only at Siri levels of coaching the D. He lets opponents just pick and choose the matchups on us all game every week. Ringo and DeJean will struggle. Versus the number Two or Three WR? They both seem capable of developing and growing to handle those for the most part very well. But number One WR? Be brutal!!!!! Last season…move your number One against Slay or Q. Not sweating some matchup weakness. But take my list….i had to make answering the question FL wouldn’t just answer so easily. Any of those guys would feast on Ringo or DeJean. Have to Double team…
July 17, 2025Jul 17 6 minutes ago, mattwill said:That is an interesting take. Why do you think it’s going to be that way?Now…there is Man …there is Zone….but don’t forget there also can be a combination. I expect to see a fair amount of all three. Keep Q on the number one in Man…while everybody else works the zones.
July 17, 2025Jul 17 1 minute ago, cunninghamtheman said:Slay is goneHow does Slay being gone mandate man coverage? You went on to explain that you expect Q to be shadowing the best receiver of the opposition, but in Fangio’s zone, the Boundary CBs consistently cover the outside receivers. So flipping Ringo and Q from one side to another into the respective outside zones would still be zone not man.Help me better understand your logic.
July 17, 2025Jul 17 39 minutes ago, GreenbleedinNC said:Why do you think McLauren wants paid now? Because he isn't a top 10 WR???I’m saying he’s forcing to be top paid…because of his leverage….pay doesn’t always equate exactly to actual ability. You gotta remember what those top WR are getting paid right now. Top paid nonQB money.
