Indeed. Red zone production has been the one consistent problem over the last several seasons.

That's a good comparison Mag with Z. Miller, another one I like is Kevin Boss. There are 2 things that makes Gronk so outstanding, his physicality at the LOS in pass or run situations, and his long gorilla arms. He can highpoint the ball better than any TE in the NFL, and also is a devastating blocker like you mentioned on chip blocks as well as inlines and motion.

BMW has the physical tools to really be special, he just needs so bad to become more physical and take on the starting TE role. He reminds me of another TE that played in the NFL, a few years with the Buccs, Jerramy Stevens, all the physical tools, good blocker, great hands lacked physicality and never had a recording year over 550 yds and 5 TDs, I for one would LOVE to see BMW as the recieving TE with his length athleticism and long arms and Calloway and Harrison as Hbacks.

I can tell you like discussing TE/Hback position as much as I do. I love OJ Howards athleticism and speed at his size already for the prototypical taller Hback that can be flanked, can be on the end of the OL, and even like AH run the ball. The dude is a monster athletically strength wise and speed wise, running routes and high pointing he looked better than most WRs at the SPARQ combine. He will bring the type of athletic ability and speed combo we haven't had under Saban at TE and Hback, and I say TE because he is 6'6, rather tall for an Hback, and Luatua is a great combo TE, but blocking skills are impressive as are Poggi's if he sticks at TE, but I think he is a DL.

If OJ wants to play WR i'd let him. With Frietag on campus and hopefully McNiel and Luatua coming in the next two classes, if he'd like to start at WR then i'd like to have him there. He's quick enough and god knows we need a big body

Alabama is going after Orlando Brown's son, who is 6'9" 360 as a highschool soon to be junior.

This.
Maybe this will be the selling point for him to pick us over Auburn...assuming he wants to be more of a playmaker; based on what Bucc said about his skills...he's totally capable of playing WR

You guys forget Eddie Williams at WR and MAYBE if he can learn a playbookl Marvin Shinn, both are bigger WRs, I just like OJ's athleticism at TE as a nightmare matchup

ETA: BUT don't get me wrong a 6'6 225 LB WR would be raw as hell

That would be interesting. Not sure why they'd think that. He grew up in Maryland at Dematha with the Koundjio brothers and just recently moved to GA. His Dad played under Saban. Unless UGA has just made a very quick impression on him then there isn't much that's holding him there. Much less than other kids we've taken from GA

You must understand the plight of UGA fans, like Durden still thinking Reuben Foster is switching to UGA since he lived in Troup and Charles Flowers told somebody a while back it would happen, now it is obvious UGA is pretty much out of it, but since he lived in Ga he is still a UGA Lock, or the fact that the only reason Tyren Jones picked Bama was because of UGA's unbelievable backfield (had nothing to do with Bama's development of RBs or tradition) ran him away even though he was a UGA lock, both those guys were transplants (TJones from NoLa, Foster from AL) and very open, but in a UGA fans mind they were UGA locks

I just figured they'd be tired of being burned by it by now. Not saying O Brown won't go to UGA, because he might, but I wouldn't even think he has a real leader at this point. In fact, if I had to guess i'd say it's a Bama-Auburn-Florida(in no order) battle based on him comments.

Bozeman did look good. Based on that video i'd think more RT unless he can improve his footwork and learn to stay upright during pass rush. He still has room to learn though. It's gotta take some getting used to for a 16 year old to be 6'9"
