Depth Chart, TEs, Random Thoughts

[Roeder]

GBI posted their projected depth chart based on practices so far and I was wondering what everyone's thoughts were so far (link below)?

First off, it's nice to see that Fuller is playing well and healthy. He looked awesome early his sophomore year when he beat out Knox and Jones before his ankle injuries, and it is a great sign for the offense if he is ready to go and holds onto that No. 1 job all of camp.

The other thing that stood out was the strength of the TE position (article also linked below). If Pitman and Durham are good blockers with reliable hands, what are the chances we see a 2 TE offense some this year? I know I read this off-season that Brohm has been studying the Chiefs, Colts, Eagles, and Patriots offense, and some of those teams will throw 2 TE looks at times. With the young o-line and inconsistencies/injuries at the 3rd WR spot it might make sense.

Also as a side note, the 1-2 slot WR/TE combo of Moore and Hopkins is similar to Kansas City with Hill and Kelce. Will be interesting to see what new wrinkles Brohm will roll into the offense this year.

Sorry about the long post, but after the Cardinals went 0-for California I can't wait to get this season rolling!

You’ll see multiple TE formations multiple times per game...especially since you can protect the backside with a chip/double team with Pitmann/Durham while having Hopkins split off the LOS.

Love that we have quality TE depth. Never think they get enough credit for what they do all around for an offense. The Chiefs offense is a decent comparison with Kelce/Hill....should be fun
