A bunch of potential S options. I’d spin the tires on Mekhi Becton the ex Jets T

Do you ..or do you not realize…Goedert is very special at YAC creation?

Ham.... listen to your terms...lol.    Yes he can run after the catch.   I love all your terms...lol.    

I tell you what....fir every special " YAC designed play..or screen to the rest of us..  why don't you post here next year....then we can count the #.    

Such a key element in the 1400 or so plays we run a season.

Then does all his specific designed YAC plays revolve around him being a threat to block?

Screens

Becton has stunk. But was a high pick. So maybe he was humbled and ready to come to work now to turn his career around. Just considering him backup T competition potentially

Yep…some are past the line of scrimmage and such though. Several ways of designing pick plays and having blockers ready to form up ahead of a pass catcher. So after all your BS alluding the questions…who was our YAC designed pass catcher that could create on his own other than Goedert?

According to PFF, Keegan only allowed one QB hit in 2023 and didn’t give up a single sack.

Can you not see our new WR Ainus or FA pickup Campbell have this ability to add to our O?

QB,C, G, T, WR, TE.... the new position of YC...  yac creator.

Like Trey Burton used to do? He was a YC too.

Shame Barkley can't play YC.

Goedert is an excellent blocking YC.

One of the few YCs ever to come out of SD.

I think this new RB shows versatility. Shipley is in the running. So many options they brought in understanding the importance of this role in any offense.

YAC isn’t a role lmao it’s an ability very nice ability to have…. But again Ship, Smith, any other non TE isn’t going to replace Geodart. They could very well bring YAC ability in there own specialized roles but it not going to be the same as Geodart 

I’m ’calling it’ now…we will see much more of these YAC designed plays this season.

Probably so designing plays that utilize the strengths of the player lol sure Barkley going to have plenty of YAC opportunities as well as a pass catcher 

Isn’t going to replace Geodart though 

As a player designer you should always be looking to design plays to get your players the ball in space and be able to make plays after the catch

Especially in addition to the downfield passing and rushing attack. Pretty basic and simple I agree.

But it’s not just screens. Those are indeed part of what I’m talking about. But clear outs to create that space also applies. A pick on a crossing route while AJ and DeVonta clear out underneath. Those two stud WRs drawing out the defenders then just a simple Out route. On and on…

Having more options we’ll see more of these this season. Not talking any rocket science here. Think the part the stumps many is how it’s been our TE that’s lead the way in this key area.

And again the matchup Barkley brings, Smith, Ship anyone else you want to name is completely different than that of Geodart. Just because they are good YAC players doesn’t mean they are replacing each other.

I mean you line Geodart out wide behind AJ and Smith the matchup you’re looking for is him against a smaller defender.

For a guy like Smith we want to try and get him up against a slower player like a LB

My son's 4th grade basketball team was missing the DC...dunk creator.   

Btw... AJ would be my guy to put in the YC spot.   

I agree with the idea Goedert was the only TE I would look to throw a screen to.   I don't think any WRs or RBs replace Goedert.  

But I love the terminology...YAC creator.   So much more scientific than just saying dude can run with the ball.

What stumps many is you acting like the players are replacing Geodart lmao they aren’t they are just other YAC players two completely different things
