It means I answered TBirds query exactly as he asked it. Actually being a WCO I disagree. I think it is a really important part of the offense.

I met they don't have a vet at TE. They have one everywhere else. http://www.patriots.com/team/roster The pats do. At any position with in the mix that have at least 1 guy with 3 yrs exp. http://www.seahawks.com/team/roster Sea is thin at exp with the WR but do have Kearse with 4 yrs. They are also thin with exp with QB but Russell is there with 4 yrs. http://www.packers.com/team/players.html The Pakers have usually 2-3 exp players at each position. http://www.dallascowboys.com/team/roster The Cowboys have it also. http://www.denverbroncos.com/team/roster.html Lots of exp and reall to much in Denver. So again the Ravens don't have positional exp at TE. That is the glaring hole on the roster.

NAme 5 teams that do what? I am not exactly getting what you are asking.

I agree on both points. That is what I was going to say. Elam deserves his 3rd yr but I don't expect much.

But I think the procedural issue will blow all that out of the water. If the officials can't get it right when things are met to be legit then try to hold other accountable when the evidence is not iron clad.

OK. I was fine with letting him go. That doesn't change that they have always had an established vet at every spot of the field if the need arises. They don;'t have that now.

They let Todd go because they didn't want to pay him so much and his production was not as good. In fact yrs earlier I was saying to trade Todd. You couldn't have that Todd was a fan fav and he had to retire a Raven. Sure Dickson played well yr 2 but he still had a long time vet on the roster with him. Pitta is done. And he has said no such thing as he is coming back. He is routinely on 98 Rock and Justin asks him each time if he is coming back. Everytime he has said he doesn't know.

But Heap was not a rookie in his 2nd yr. He was able to be there as a solid mentor and make solid catches in 2010. So you use Gronk the exception as the rule. Sounds like a plan. 132 yds is a successful season to you. BTW that number isn't even correct. They cut Todd after being useful the rookie yr of their new TE's. Also you failed to mention Kris Wilson in Dickson and Pitta's 2nd yr. A longtime TE to mentor the young guys.

I would also mention Ben Coates during that SB run. Without him being such a good blocker there would be no SB.

I know when they got Shannon. You really make my point when you say how Heap had so much PT when Pitta and Dickson were rookies.

You do realize we are talking about a TE? Also TE's as rookies rarely play great ball. They under-perform compared to the rest of their career. Was this in 2000 or 2012 that they had 2 rookie TE's? Also Joe played better than he should have. It is not wise to take exceptions to the rule and try to make them the rule. Would you propose drafting a QB in the 6th round letting him start yr 2 and expecting him to be a HOFer?

When there is a situation when you need the catch I am not sure throwing a rookie in is best strategy.

Don't hold your breath.

But a position with no exp. That is really lacking foresight.

I like the upside of all three but as much as I am told this is the yr to make the run then not having a vet makes no sense. If this was a deffer yr and putting the team in position then I would say roll with the youth.

Pitta is gone. He is done. They are going to ride with 3 TE's like normal.

Could be.

Well the conviction is real. That is troubling. If it was just rumors I would not have even posted this.

http://nesn.com/2015/05/report-jim-mcnally-was-willing-to-be-questioned-over-phone-nfl-declined/ So why is it when the league never tries to get all the info in these investigations?

A 2nd yr TE from Col St that split time as a DE there is the vet. What could possibly go wrong?

I am assuming Goody likes being paid tens of millions of dollars a yr. That is why he wont do that.

It is the post and they go over the top.

He has 2 seasons and has played in a total of 9 games. Gilmore has more playing experience than he does.

But when Goody looses each time it shows he has zero authority.
