Division-II Tight End Ian Edenfield Commits to Oklahoma State

I’d be interested to see you point to where I said that every team has to use a TE to win.

I guess i don’t know what your saying. Do or don’t us the te. Put out as many recievers to unbalance the defensive db.
Still doesn’t have to do with the point sanders didnt always find the open reciever or hit them when they were open.

Well, sorry for the confusion. Let me try to be more clear about my opinion regarding the TE: I’m a huge fan of a modern, but still balanced offense that incorporates the TE in the passing scheme. So yea, I say use a TE. But I wish the coaches would please stop bringing these players in under the guise they’re TE (or Cowboy Back) only to turn them into a lighter weight blocker who doesn’t represent another and different kind of threat the defense has to account for. I’m not naive enough to believe you can’t win without one, but I’d certainly be comfortable saying there are many, many successful colleges and pro teams that do use a TE as an integral part of their offense, and by definition with one less wide-out.

We did indeed he started 115 games between Indy and Minnesota and was even a special teamer on the 2006 colts SB team.

I posted a while back that the fb and te were small.

These 2 te are the rite size.

44 receptions for 598 yards in 11 games is pretty good. He wasn’t even able to get that his entire career at OSU. There was also no indication at all we had plans on using him as a target either. If the staff didn’t have any plan to use him that way for three years I highly doubt they would’ve done it for him on a fourth year at OSU. So to make the claim he would’ve been drafted had he stayed at OSU when it’s evident the coaching staff used him primarily as a blocker for three years doesn’t align with your OPINION that he would’ve been drafted at OSU. The argument you’re making for Woods is just hogwash and you know it is.

I agree with this. I understand not using them if you’re going to run an air raid system (which we truly don’t run one). Even with a primary blocking TE it’s not exactly shown any fruition in the offense we run. It just feels more like a liability and giving the defense an edge on not having to account for an additional threat as you said. We’ve proven over the last three years we can’t effectively run the ball with one anyway. Don’t know why they’re not instituted as another receiving threat more often.

You’re such a dead giveaway that you’re joy it’s hilarious. Only point you haven’t brought up is the bet you wanted to have with @robert28 … Woods was also a horrible blocker too. We will see if he attains Andrews status going forward :cowboy_hat_face:

Thanks, let’s hope one of these TE’s can be an excellent blocker.

This was the scouting report on Woods. Take a look at the last line under the positives category. Looks like you’re wrong.

Thats the only report that said he was above average. Even after his 200 yards at Virginia he was project 10 th.

It was the pro day that moved him up.

Joy just cant get that. Its like a left hand pitcher that throw 95 mph. They dnt care if he can throw strikes at 18. Lol

Weird how you call everyone an armchair coach while at the same time acting like you know more than NFL scouts. Maybe next time try to be smart enough to look at his scouting report before talking about how terrible his blocking is. Are you trying to tell me the Virginia coaching staff made him a better player than the OSU coaching staff?

Are you better at player evaluation than an NFL scout?

Not everyone agrees with about woods. But, no one has come out and said he was above average catcher and blocker. I guess we would have to find out what this guys average is.

That scout you talk about he couldn’t have looked at any OSU film joy. I can remember at least 7-8 complete zero blocks on a DE coming ! You remember too you are just to mule headed ignorant to admit it. Wallace was the best blocker we had downfield, Warren was a hell of a blocker doing the same at Pittsburg. Do you think Warren just had an epiphany to learn to run and block at Utah state

Get the topic started and ask people on here if we used Woods the wrong way. I bet a majority will tell you we did.
