Anyone catch the news that Eddy Lopez is now at TE? Given how few catches our TEs had last season along with the returning talent at WR, will we see a new low or will there be a surprise in store?
 
I mean, Dylan Keeney and Jared Poplawski will be the pass-catchers, right? I'd image Montez is a little better at finding the tight end, especially as a safety valve. He will scramble a lot more than Sefo, and sometimes you just need to toss a duck to a giant guy 5 yards from the LOS
 
Having those extra blockers would be good for Lindsay and Bisch.
 
If Poplawski plays it'll be more, but for whatever reason this O doesn't know or chooses not to use tight ends.

More than 10. Montez spreads the ball like sefo never could .
Why do people think this is a QB-driven issue with the TEs? Montez saw significant playing time last year and it had zero affect on TE usage. The fact of the matter is that the TEs on the roster the past few years have not been good enough receivers for the coaches to warrant having them play a significant role in the passing game.

I don't think it was a qb issue, I just think that Sefo and Montez play quarterback differently. The offense last year was Sefo's offense. I think that Lindgren is gonna change things around to suit Montez more, and having a safety valve for scrambles is a part of that
 
I know it doesn't translate 100% but looking at NFL where TEs can create such mismatches especially middle of the field it's
weird how CU has gone so far from that lately. Is it more of a pro set offense kind of weapon? Combination of poor TEs, schemes to help Oline blocking, Sefo not good over middle, etc?
 
If we need TEs to help with pass or run blocking, the OL obviously has issues.

Folks - many teams run a package like this, including CU. We've been running it for at least 5 years now. It's not our base offense, but more of a short yardage package.
 
Lopez and Frazier combine for 3, but they will all be TDs.

Also, Frazier will drop 2 more sure TDs.
 
Frazier is playing on defense from what I was told.

As far as the TE, come on! We have at least 8 WRs that are more talented and can do more with the ball than a TE. Maybe Poplawski changes that but for now, I like the WRs getting every target and only utilizing the TE as need be. Play the most talented guys which is not any of the TEs.
