Let’s talk TE’s

Happy Saturday, Rantsters!
Question: how devastating of an impact can a great and well utilized Tight End have on SEC Defenses?
Not talking about serviceable ones, not just a body outside the tackle, but a really great one? You all know what I’m talking about because you know them when you see them and quickly learn their name. They’re rare.
I get that in these flash in a pan one hit wonder spread teams who catch lightning in a bottle one given year and don’t need one. Not talking about them – those teams are irrelevant long term.
I’m talking about teams who have a great one and utilize him effectively in the game plan each week. They wreak havoc and cause constant nightmares for opposing D’s and their coordinators. Too much attention on him, opens up everyone else. Too little attention on him you get gashed for 40 yd chunk plays. And they’re savage in the red zone.
Discuss.
(And not talking about TE’s who were in HS this time last year, they’re totally irrelevant because they’re unproven at college level – looking at you corn dogs so save it)
Oh oh ohh! Did I mention we have the best TE duo in college football this yr and next? Good luck to everyone else’s D’s running around like idiots trying to handle our two TE sets!

“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”

Congrats! Sounds like you have a great one. Maybe we’ll be seeing yall in the ATL!
Does Mullen game plan around TE’s? Or just kinda mix them in?

Stop making the OP so damn long. I don't have the attention span to read that much at one time. I never got to that part.

You can't brag about Baylor Cupp then as he has played no snaps in college and is unproven. Wydermeyer is solid, but no one is afraid of a guy with 447 yards and 6 touchdowns on the season.

So we can’t talk about our TE because he’s a freshmen and “unproven” but you get to pretend your you have the best Duo in the SEC when you have 1 TE who had over 50 yards?

Excellent point. You know your stuff. IMO it was our Achilles heal last yr. So frustrating watching us run laterally for a gain of minus two every third play. Really put Mond in tough downs and distance.
You’ll be glad to hear RB depth and production has been addressed. Prob solved.

Confused why so many downvotes for scripture in the year of our Lord 2020
