As TE1 he needs to be serviceable at worst blocking wise. He showed promise last year. This year he needs to take a big step or the team will replace him next offseason. There is no loyalty shown to 4th rounders nor should there be. Alcibiades 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
airmcnair22 Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 In yesterday’s mailbag Wyatt hinted at adding oline help Jim: G'day Aaron. I like Coogan, too. He was incredibly durable and successful at both Notre Dame and Indiana, where he proved to be a leader and culture builder at both places. I watched some of his pre-game motivational talk videos over the weekend, and man, he gets guys fired up. Google them if you haven't seen. I liked the draft results. Everyone knows I wanted Jeremiyah Love, but I thought the Titans pivoted and got a really good player in Carnell Tate. Across the board I thought the team got some really good players. As I mentioned to Mike, I think the team will evaluate when they have in May and June and then decide where to add additional help. They'll get their biggest evaluation period when the pads come on in July and August, and after roster cuts you could see more guys added. We're still over four months away from the start of the season, so nothing is set in stone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justafan Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 (edited) 23 minutes ago, oldschool said: Did he say that somewhere? Daboll loves 11 like most modern OCs. He typically deploys an inline TE like Bellinger and another more pass focused TE (not necessarily a move guy). Helm bulking up a bit to me is just him being in an NFL strength and conditioning program in year 2. Daboll moves guys around, so they have to be multi-faceted. His move TEs have to be able to block, and his inline TEs have to have some pass-catching ability. Callahan's system was more focused on 1 TE who was more of a pass catcher than a blocker. It's also very possible that Helm's added mass is more about time in an NFL S&C program than it is a scheme change but I think that stuff gets overblown sometimes. The Longhorns have a decent S&C program. Edited April 29 by Justafan oldschool, and Callidus 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legaltitan Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 Forget the offense, Helm, who looks like a steal, was way too damn skinny last year for a TE. Needed some bulk. oldschool, Justafan, and Number9 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helm is a more well rounded TE in that he is a good receiver who simply needs to be decent at blocking to stay on the field. They have clear roles. Now thats not to say he won't see some passes come his way, that is what good OC's do but there is a reason his max receptions in a year is only 30 and he only has 4 TDs in 4 years.

Starkiller Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 Most players bulk up in their 1st NFL offseason. Certainly guys who have a responsibility to block. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I don't disagree with any of that. All fair points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
headhunter Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 With two drafts under Borganzi I can confidently say he won't be drafting non premium positions in the first round until our roster is complete. animatormike, Omar, titanskick8851, and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a sample size of two drafts? And the most recent he reportedly wanted a RB? And the first was a consensus #1 QB? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerryBoats Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 (edited) Did anyone know that Josh Whyle was on Green Bay's active roster last year, and was re-signed this year? I don't really understand why he was cut, considering that they definitely have a better position group than we do. We can't keep letting LaFluer and GB poach our guys and make our coaches look like fools. Edited April 29 by TerryBoats Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starkiller Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 Why did we waive him? He wasn’t very good. But then he did put up a whole 36 receiving yards in Green Bay so I’m sure we really lost a rising star… Supernope 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
