Michael Irvin II out for season

Langham is the only viabale option. Evidence way way too skinny, Choc is our starting fullback, & we need Patchan at DE.

Langham definitely has the size to play TE. 6'4" probably 230, linebackers wouldn't be able to guard him he's too fast.

Exactly he can Line up inline and just run routes and not necessarily block.

Also another thing i was thinking is if you need to run double tight end set on goal line put another lineman on there to block as your 2nd “tight end”. That should work too...

Exactly, on the goal line go with Langham, and use another tackle as the other TE.

I think Jordan will be able to block in that situation as well. Much is made about Jordan receiving skills but he was a very good blocker in highschool too
 
Fck people. You do realize that the starting job doesn't just automatically go to the most talented guy right? It's just baffling how many of you think learning the playbook and adjusting to the speed of college are nothing that any kid can't do in a month.
 
The three linebackers got thrown right in a couple years ago and it worked out great, wouldn't be surprised if it is the same for Jordan and Mallory.

In the meantime more 4 WR sets until these two are ready to go. Bring in a 6th OL on the goal line.

Sounds good in theory, but an in-line TE is usually the best blocker on the line, it's not a dumping ground for OLmen. Despite the injury to MI2, I think we'll be alright with the 3 we have.

****, I know the Freshman have talent but this is not good news. He was likely our starter Sept 2nd. I trust the Freshman as receivers but have some concerns on their blocking ability in their first college game

No doubt!!! I think Polandy needs to get reps as a blocker. Maybe makes us a little more predictable of pass vs run, but there's no way these freshman are going to come in and block LSU DEs. At least not one on one. Perhaps change the scheme where the TEs only double team with the OT. That would remove blocking vulnerabilities and disguise running plays better.

I’m just saying in short yardage situations on obvious run downs, put another lineman in there

Hope so, but I don't see it. Big kid, but I don't think He has that physicality...would've been bussin' heads on STs by now if He was physical.

Choc has been hurt most of his time. We shall see if he commits to the position. Obviously, his weight room numbers look terrific. Senior season matters. If the Marquez Williams gets drafted in the 7th round, then Choc if he commits can at least get a camp invitation. He is certainly a more gifted athlete than Williams. We shall see.

I think the tighten position will turn out how the linebackers position did when we started 3 freshman backers they will have growing pains but they will ball out I believe at least one will be a freshman all-American
 
was flipping through my emails at work and came across the one from ITU that said" Cane TE out with Knee injury".
I immediately said a prayer before I opened it up thinking it was Mallory or Brevin.....Guess my prayer worked even though I hate to see any kid ,especially a Cane,get hurt.
