Care to elaborate?I like our TE's.. but this ain't it

agree one hundred percent. arroyo can catch AND block.Arroyo needs to start. Seeing him come out of his hips in blocking adds that element Mallory has yet to provide.
Mallory should be TE2. Khalil should be H-back 1.
I think you’re right...
When I do a mental rundown of our TE’s since the Dynasty days I can’t really think of any who stood out as necessarily good Blockers in college, maybe Walford or Herndon at best? But otherwise, I would say we haven’t had a TE who was equally as good a blocker as he was a receiver in a long time.
Brevin wasn’t a good blocker, but pretty good receiving TE.
He still managed to get selected in the 5th round & caught on towards the end of the season with the Texans.
I would argue Arroyo has more raw talent than Brevin & Herndon, hopefully he gets his chance to prove it this season.
This. I said he was more Larry Fitz than a TE. They played him at the X a ton.Technically he was...Pitts was lined up out wide like a wr the WHOLE TIME
Thank you for checking it out bro!! TE group will ball this year! Alot of 12 setsGreat stuff LCE.
Thinking back to it, scheme-wise, our WR's might have had a tough time getting open, but the TE's were wide open with massive YAC opportunities.
@Stevo365 taught me some **** that I missed during the spring game.
People weren't saying "brevin will be better in the NFL" though. They were saying "brevin is the better TE right now and I would rather have him than pitts". I mentioned the NFL thing, because people, for whatever reason, thought our historical TEs in the NFL had some sort of correlation to our current TEs.While all true.
(and this will likely change quickly in 2022)
Career Professional Touchdowns...
Kyle Pitts - 1
Brevin Jordan - 3
I'm just sayin.
We have a nice group. Well balanced, could be tops in the ACC. Georgia has the best TE in the nation alongside two 5 star freaks (Supposedly Gilbert had a great spring). No slight to us. Just props to them.Care to elaborate?
I never said we had a better group or we would have a better group.We have a nice group. Well balanced, could be tops in the ACC. Georgia has the best TE in the nation alongside two 5 star freaks (Supposedly Gilbert had a great spring). No slight to us. Just props to them.
Must have misread the OP. Usually I tend to pay more attention before posting. My fault. DisregardI never said we had a better group or we would have a better group.
The point of the thread was to compare our TE group to other top TE groups in the country.
Never once said we have the best or that Bowers wasn’t the best.
Yup ..Mcmichael may have been recruited before Richt. Only other one would be Benjamin Watson.Leonard Pope and McMichael are the only two that immediately come to mind from UGA and I’m not even 100% sure that McMichael was under Richt.
Which is nothing inline. Evan Engram was a wr...still is.Bowers is, too. He does a lot of what Evan Engram did at Ole Miss.
I have no reason to believe a new staff would play favorites or seniority, but I hope TE is a true open competition in the fall and not just handed to Mallory.I’m predicting 50rec 700+yds & 7TD’s for Elijah Arroyo this season (barring injury).
Arroyo is my top vote for overall breakout player of the year. Kid has all the tools and this pairing with Gattis might be a perfect storm.I have no reason to believe a new staff would play favorites or seniority, but I hope TE is a true open competition in the fall and not just handed to Mallory.
Mallory came on during the 2nd half of last season, but he was mid until then. I’d say he worked his way up to mayyyybe average as an in-line blocker. Call it a B, which may be high. As a receiver, I’ll give him B+.
Need to see more reps from Arroyo, but he popped off the screen whenever he was out there. His upside is in the A range as a blocker and receiver.
Nothing against Will - may the best may win. I just hope it is an open competition.
