Why don't we have a Tight End?

We don't have one worth a shite. I really wish we would find one and at least run one tight end and 2 receiver sets. It would help create some mismatches with linebackers.

We seriously need to move JJ to TE. He's a prototypical TE prospect both physically and athletically. He was a very good basketball player in HS and played PF. The skills needed to play 4 in basketball translate very well to TE. Two of the best TE's in modern NFL history made that transition.

But not mentally.

But can he block?

We have Chris Laye and Jalen Harris. I guess they must really suck to get beat out by air

Harris is a true freshman from a tiny private school. Laye is a redshirt freshman and everybody knows he isn't gonna end up a star. Nobody should have expected much out of that position this year.

Maybe we can buy one from Arkansas. They've got like 10 tight ends and they're all good.

He doesn't like contact. How is that gonna work out? You gonna ask him to catch a pass across the middle? You think JJ is gonna lay a crushing block on a lb?

Where the hell do you get that from?

Let me think about this. ...

Here goes. First, when he was actually playing it was rare that he would keep the ball on zone read plays. Even when he had space to run he would leave it with the back. Today on his td keeper, he tip toed in the backfield before finally surging ahead. How many times did he roll out of a solid pocket earlier in the season instead of stepping up and making the throw. He doesn't like getting hit.

I have a tight end every time I watch one of Auburn's games or no fingernails by the end of the game.

I saw that Darrion Hutchinson scored a TD for Mississippi State last night. He used to be a tight end for Auburn.
