Sooner.I bet Edwards will have his own plays half-way through the season.

One of the only disappointments for me in the spring game was the lack of TE usage. Just feels like one of those major pressure points on a defense that we need to be able to attack to truly unlock any offense.
I’m a huge homer so I’m not going to say what I think Harrison could be, because at the end of the day, he’s a walk-on, converted WR. But as we’ve seen over the years, star players in key spots can make everyone’s job easier. And the catch and run at 5m:30s is exactly what we need a TE to be able to do. Between Weaver, Hunter, Horn Jr., Antonio, our running game, and the system, a guy like Harrison is going to be able to slip through the cracks a LOT like that.
Why does Shedeur have a white stripe on his helmet?

As I recall, Embree couldn’t recruit a blue chip TE despite being a TE in college and coaching them in the NFL.Sorta interesting as he was a TE in college
Shedeur uses TEs and that's what matters the mostSean Lewis LOVES his TEs!

Describes most of his catches. He’s going to be so fun to watch this year. Just a freak athlete, with insane body control and strong hands.That catch by Travis at 8:25 was ridiculous

TE in college kinda like RB in NFL.Sorta interesting as he was a TE in college
Terrell Owens in the building today.
He has more time than usual but he also knows how to slide out of pocket pressure. The other QBs who played for CU last year struggled at that.For those with more football acumen than I have:
I know the scrimmage videos are selectively edited. But, after looking at the scrimmage videos, I noticed the following:
1) some plays had Shaduer with plenty of time to throw. Sometimes too long. Yes, a great play was made, but I don't think you can count on that much time in a real game. Am I looking at this right? In fact, some of the highlights had him having plenty of time. Maybe I'm just used to the QB running for his life in recent years.
2) On some of the long throws, the receiver made a great play over the defender. But it seems the throw could/should have been better with better leading of the receiver, hitting him in stride, and not requiring receiver to leap and grab?
To your first point, it’s hard to know for sure without knowing the situation and context of each individual play. I can think of a few spots where he had a TON of time like you’re referencing, and it looked to me that in those spots, the defense was dropping 8 or so back in zone while only sending the front 2-3. Definitely something he will face throughout the year, especially with how hard we (hopefully) will be to cover in man. Opposing defenses will drop that many in zone to try to confuse him and/or the WRs, force tighter windows in some areas, and keep him from scrambling. They also just do that on 3rd and long from time to time too. I didn’t see him having a ton of time when they sent 4 or more, but he also picked that apart too (although the defense got some good wins in those scenarios too).For those with more football acumen than I have:
