All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Originally posted by Throne Logic Do you also realize that Jay Reimersma was brought in to bolster their TE corp? Now they let Bruener go in FA in favor of keeping JR.
What does that say for us?
JR sure can't catch and was an average blocker at best I don't think anyone here is thinking Bruener is going to be our go to TE but we at least know he can block.

Reimersma was brought in to Pitt to open up the passing offense a bit more. We all know the guy is not the best blocker. Bruener will be depth only and will get vet min. We have a starting TE in Campbell. I would say he was one of the few bright spots this year. He got my attention the first game when he took that monster hit and held on to the ball for a first down.

Slow down fella's we're definitely looking into this waaayyy too much. Reimersma and Bruener are two totally different TE's with totally different skill sets.....apples and oranges. If you're going to run smash mouth run first football, who would you rather have? If you're running a pass oriented game who would you rather have? I hope to god you all answered each question differently! An experienced run blocking TE is very good for a team transitioning to a run-first offense. Campbell has great hands and can also block so I think we're fine there. He won't break the game open but he'll get 5-7 yards and a first down when we need it......a la Pete Metzelars.
