Tight Ends

[Mr. Miyagi]

I was one of those people who were upset that we didn't grab a big name TE in the draft, among Bennett, Keller, Rucker, Carlson, Davis, etc. I felt we really needed some help at TE and a huge dude with catching ability would really help Edwards.

I had forgotten what we already have brought in in the offseason.

Courtney Anderson is 6'6" 270 lbs.
Teyo Johnson is 6'6" 260 lbs.

Robert Royal is no Tony Gonzalez, but he doesn't suck that bad.

Derek Fine could also compete.

I think we might be okay at that position.

Re: Tight Ends

That rationalizations have now begun...

Re: Tight Ends

U forgot Tim Massaqoui and Derek Schouman

All and all hopefully we are in postion to grab a nice UDFA, or Vet release, i think Gaines leaving hurt us more than we want to admit, U never know what u got in Schouman and Fine, but it would have been nice to add a TE in this draft that can get down feild

Re: Tight Ends

I think that's the Bills' reasoning too... I'm not sure I really buy it at this point though. At least we got some receiver help for Trent though...

Re: Tight Ends

We have the quantity part down, lets hope one steps up and plays.

Re: Tight Ends

project type TEs are huge busts most of the time.

a 2nd or 3rd DOES NOT mean you have a good solid TE. fasano has done jack in dallas and plenty of other guys haven't panned out after going in the 2nd or 3rd.

just not that much talent at that position -- that's why i'm not mad about who we have. we got hardy who is our big RZ threat.

You're not allowed to miss them unless you could spell their last names.

Re: Tight Ends

A lot of the problem with our past TE production has been under utilization.

I believe Turk will have the TE's more involved.

It's funny you said that because I just can't shake the fact the Fine kind of fits right into those same molds.

I thought they shot JR....


Metzellars was the best but I also liked Keith McKeller (it was keith wasn't it ?)

now Fasano is off to do the same in Miami (at least I hope he continues to underperfrom for the fish).
