TE’s


Colts1324

Recommended Posts

We have the lowest amount of targets to TE’s in the league right now. 10 total targets through 4 games. TE’s are typically a young QB’s best friend, so I find it odd. 
 

Goedert had his two best seasons in Philadelphia with Shane calling the plays. 
 

The TE curls, drags, etc are called often by almost every other team across the league. 

 

Is it the RPO’s? The lack of trust/talent in our TE group? Any advanced statistics on how deep our TE’s are running their routes?

Tight end play is down throughout the league, it could be that defenses are covering them better or offensives just don’t use them as much for some reason, but it’s not just us.

To be fair we probably ran the lowest amount of plays also lol

There are only a few TE playmakers in the league, and we don’t have one.  
 

So why would we design too many plays for them when they’re more valuable as blockers.  Occasional TE passes to keep the D honest.  
 

Let’s try to get AD into the offense first.

Agreed. 

Not complaining at all -  just an observation.

Fair point. That could be a large part of it

    • Quarter of the season check-in.   I think he's proving to be the perfect tough nut to measure. He has looked up and down in the first quarter of 2025. Some good, some bad. Even within game halves. The fluctuations are what we knew to expect. Basically, thru the first 4 games of 2025, AR has been exactly as advertised to me - inconsistent with extreme ability. Still a work-in-progress, learning.   For Q2 of 2025, I'll be looking for some more consistency. Nothing huge, just a little less up and down, and maybe stacking 2 to 3 consecutive good quarters.    At this point, the arrow is flickering. 
    • If he is indeed healthy and has no physical limitations, then a conversation needs to be had. You sign a kicker to the contract we signed Gay to to be able to hit the ones over 50+. You can’t cut a vet like Shaq Leonard last year for poor play, but then let the kicker routinely miss kicks and not make a change.    @NewColtsFan has said that there are cap ramifications that make a cut unlikely, so I’ll trust that info. But at the very least he needs to be a healthy scratch and you need to see what you have in your other kicker.
    • I think we both see the same things.  Its not easy to describe.  IMO, AR looks more gangly and awkward than what he was billed to be by some and I do think some of that is natural physique combined with being an inexperienced runner.  Not saying that he is either, he just lands more towards that side of the line than Cam Newton, who simply looked stouter and more fluid whenever he moved.   Do you remember Vince Young?  Big and fast too, but don't think AR will ever run like him   I need to watch more for sure.
    • I blame Ballard for his Gay support
    • You can call him injured but that doesn’t put him on the practice squad.
