Note From Tuesday’s Practice

[Matthew_Suero]

The media did not see much during practice, but we did see the offensive skilled position players going through ball security drills. One thing that caught my eye was Evidence Njoku going through the drills with the tight end group. I was able to confirm through a source that Njoku is getting a look at tight end.

 

[ajone228]

That is his money position.

 

[321>CANES<305]

I'm for this.

 

[miamicanephins]

Need a te who can block....

 

[Papa_Cane]

Remember when a contingent of CIS posters were pushing for Njoku to switch to tight end while another contingent dismissed that idea whole heartedly as asinine???

Pepperidge farm remembers.

They gunna pack on some weight to the dude or what? We need height at WR so I’m actually surprised he made the move.

To me that means we got another slot tab WR open and we should push for Poitier

 

[ShadowSpring]

I like him at striker

Yes the “I told you so” award is very important around here

Ball security was terrible on Saturday. Good to see they are putting in the work

Moar strikers!!!!

 

[Geddy Lee]

So we have 6 possible tight ends and we are potentially taking 2 this class? Polendey likely won’t be back next year.

 

[CANEFAN83]

I was one of the ones that suggested it way back to switch to TE. I like this move as well.

 

[Jedi Master Cane]

He was practicing at TE this summer as well. In both practices I went to I saw him working with the TE unit.

 

[Go Canes!!]

 

[Empirical Cane]

How can the better coach up Mallory on blocking?

If he cant catch and cant block....

Then what does he do exactly???

When you get passed on the depth chart by Tate Martell and Marshall Few

This is because lack of confidence in Mallory. Bet that.

 

[Sabetta]

Time to load up on Deer Antler spray

 

[tcgrad1014]

Can he play OT?

I think we are taking the same approach at TE that we are taking at RB as far as recruiting. The staff made it clear that if they cant get Jaylon Knighton to be the other RB to go with Chaney then they aren't interested in bringing in anyone else. (at least for now)

I think the same is going to happen at TE. Either they get Darnell Washington or Theo Johnson to go with Mammerilli or they close shop. Just how I see it at this point. Most posters don't think we get either so I think we are only bringing on Mammerilli. (I think we get Washington personally)

All this said, I think that is why they are okay with moving Njoku to TE. Technically he would be the second TE for the class in case we strike out completely.
