That 2023 class

They’ve (staff) has known for a while this was likely. I was hoping it wouldn’t happen since I didn’t see them targeting any TEs so far.

SMDFH!

I know Riley Williams wasn’t cheap. So I’m sure they can find a replacement with that $. Klare probably headed to Ohio State so for that price I would hope the replacement isn’t in the portal currently

What about the TE from Cinn that broke Kelce's records?

Just spitballing.

Been bubbling for a while. Hoped it wouldn’t happen because I’m a big fan of the potential. Don’t believe it was football reasons.

Staff has been prepared and looking at options in the Portal. There is work to do there.

You think a 6’7 265 pound TE and a 6’1 235 pound TE play the same position and do the same things?

One is a true TE and one is an H back. Schott is coming here to play H back and Gilbert is coming here to play TE. Gilbert may be ready to take that role but I’d prefer a bridge to him.

Miami's roster lists:

Lofton at 6-4 230
Williams at 6-6 240.

Cool. You found one 1 play that he sucked at blocking, when it looks like everybody else decided not to block either.

I should have been more specific: he was great at run blocking. I thought he was our best inline TE blocking on running plays.

**** this Dude had 7 catches for 100 something yards how will we ever replace that production??? smh fold the program (am i doing it right?)

You're definitely doing it a lot.

Lofton at 6-4 230
Williams at 6-6 240.

Thought it has Lofton 6'3 but think more 6'1 like Jay said

 

[Cane30]

I thought this got worked out. Now you know who Xman was referring to last week as the board does what it does cracking jokes about knowing nothing. Not so funny. This definitely sucks.

They get that from his Tinder profile?

 

[Alex_Dynamix]

Thought Lofton was switching to RB?

Is that a CIS theory or did coaches actually say that?

 

[P-Tizzle]

2 completely different “starting” roles in our offense. Lofton can’t play Williams’ position and Williams can’t play Lofton’s position.

You completely made that **** up lol. But hey, I am a firm believer, that if someone says anything with confidence, they can pull that **** off as the truth. It's admirable.

 

[skyman]

Really sucks but I'm not sweating a blocking TE.. go find me a Miami TE asap.. Arroyo njoku type.. we don't have one on roster or in pipeline I don't think

 

[305407cane]

We need an inline tight end now. This is a sucky loss.

How’s his wham and hook blocking?

 

[cway313]

Had 73 speed, an upgrade was needed regardless.

What exactly do you think each guy can and can't be asked to do? Lofton can do it all as a TE, height be dammed.

If your point is merely that we need a TE2, sure. But this isn't like we are going into the season with McCormick as the starter who literally can't be used as a receiving threat. Cause Lofton is and can be an In-line TE. He can be flexed out. He can line up in the backfield H-back role

I don’t want Lofton in line very often and don’t want him lined up on a good 8 or 9 technique. No.

The plan is basically for Lofton to do a ton of work out of the slot and take a ton of Restrepo’s targets from this year. Plus he’s our 5th RB.

Gotta have a true basic TE. He can do Riley Williams role in moderation.
