About how many TEs we end up with, I'd guess 3 or 4. Falcons had 2 in their 53 man in 2015. And 4 TEs in their 2016 53 man.

7 WR in 2015
6 wr in 2016

Although they had 2 QBs both years as opposed to the 3 we're gonna have this year. So that will be a factor

Our OW is probably going to take a backup TE slot
I am hoping we roll with 5 WR's, Garcon-Goodwin-Kerley-Robinson-Taylor, the other guys like Johnson, Bolden, or Smelter can go to the PS. As far as TE's, I want to see Kittle-McDonald-Hikutini, with Juice sliding in there. If Hikutini stinks in pre season, then he can go to the PS, and Paulsen can make the 53. Another tough one will be RB, I want to see Hyde-WIlliams-Breida, with Hightower cut/traded, and Bibbs on the PS.

We need someone to return kicks? Dont want any concussions on important guys.

Taylor @PR.

Run and Gun. And WCO. We need to accommodate both formations with our retooled and reschooled arsenal of WRs.

And we need to give them a nickname. Makes it more fun.

Same. I think our 4th/5th TE or 4th RB/FB talent wise, should be much better than a 6th WR who probably won't be active anyways given our returners will be Kerley, Taylor and/or Bibbs.
I always like an extra TE who can catch. They are very useable.

Good points guys.. there's still a possibility we trade for a WR. We can move a DL or a WILL/MLB IMO. We're gonna have two starters on the bench at LB.... we HAVE TO flip one for a guy you think you can coach up with a solid floor or a proven veteran.

If no trade for WR then y'all mighta convince me to roll with an extra RB as well(originally went with 4).

So how about that Kittle.. good start so far, this dude sounds like the type of dude that LIVES wanting to lead by example and be the man.

Okay, thanks. I'm not a big believer in the mixtapes on the Tube but I hope you're right.

First play beats his man and is overthrown

Second play drives his man into the ground 10 yards away. A lot to like. His blocking is awesome, he just needs to learn. How to focus it. He gets too aggressive sometime me and whiffs

Edit - at about 5:05 looks like how Delanie Walker was used here

Here you go, sacniner.

That second play is a teaching tape worthy on finishing your block. f**king beautiful.
This guy gonna be a big disrupting force and may be the perfect guy to play in our 2 TE sets.
