They obviously see potential there. He's taken 48% of the total TE Snaps in the last two games.

He's had balanced responsibilities too. About 50/50 Pass to Block. Which is great.

Ultimately, I'm virtually "all-in" and believe the pro game will not prove to be "too big" for him.  Bob

Prediction:  He breaks out against Dallas and gets on the national spotlight radar.   

It's gonna be tough for him to get a lot of targets when Nabers is getting a dozen per game (and rightfully so) and then Wandale gets his share and then Slayton/Hyatt also in the mix.  He's the 4th option at best on most plays and we all know it's a rare occurrence to even get to option 2 these days let alone option 4.  I do think he has a lot of potential and I did like him coming out of school as one of my favorite mid-round TE's but I'm not sure we're gonna see much of a true breakout this season unless there's injuries.

Gm: Some defenses are designed to take away throws to the WR's & force QB's to throw to TE's & RB's. Bob

And we definitely have a QB capable of recognizing that pre-snap and knowing juuuust where to go with the football.

Gm: Good one.  Hope those days are in the rear-view mirror, but not holding my breath. Bob
