Titans were blind to not use this hidden weapon. Or they saw him every day in practice. he's not who you think he is and they didn't use him more for a reason.

SleepingTitan Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 Jonnu is a big slot who should have converted to receiver a long time ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleepingTitan Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 To put it into perspective, we will miss Corey Davis's blocks more than we will ever miss Jonnu's receptions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could also make the same argument A.J. Brown should get way more targets Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brown should get way more targets Sure.... or he's a good athlete and makes flashy plays that fans remember but on a play to play basis, he just doesn't run great routes or have consistent hands or blocking which are really more important for a TE. So the Titans used less athletic but more consistent players and then chose to let him walk in FA. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonnu is best when he's got space and can get YAC yards. He's absolutely poor to mediocre as a blocking TE. He's solid as a blocker in space but not really on the edge. But...he also runs dumbass routes. So, I don't know what to tell you. He would be better served lining up as a receiver. It took him two years to learn how to fucking chip.

Mythos27 Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 Jonnu got lucky. This offense would've held him back his entire career; it just doesn't feature the TE well at all. Now he's with a coach that we've seen consistently deploy tight ends in a deadly fashion. As long as it's not against us, I'm actually very excited to see what Jonnu can do in NE. I've told all my boys up here that they're going to absolutely love what he brings to the Pats. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justafan Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 Jonnu was considered one of the better blockers in the league and he is a better pass catcher than given credit for. Clearly, based on the market for him in FA, he was seen as a top 10 TE by at least some teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are run based, play-action….long developing routes run well. not Jonnu’s strength. Pats will use him well. not a big loss for us..:big gain for them.

He’s a total mismatch on LBers and is a good inline blocker. His biggest asset as a receiver is YAC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
