Lofton will be healthy, Gilbert will be a better target than Bauman, and Mueller is a new target that's ahead of where the freshmen were last year. And Mensah may actualy be looking for the TEs.

Okay, now I see where you got your projections of 700 yards for 7 or 8 TDs from. Duke had 3 tight ends with collectively 677 yards (454 + 203 + 20) and 10 TDs. If Mensah repeats what happened at Duke, you'd be dead on, with a couple TDs to spare.

I don't think our TEs are good enough to target relative to our WRs and RBs. I'd personally prefer lining up 5 WRs, 4 WRs + 1 RB or 3 WRs + 2 RBs than throw to the TE. We are just so **** talented there, why waste snaps on relative mediocrity.

If Lofton is healthy, I'd put him at one of those 2 RB spots or a split end more than as a TE. ... I suppose if you count him as a TE in an H-Back role, then we might get to 700 yards and 7/8 TDs.

I personally would too but I don't think Dawson and Mario are ready to greatly reduce the 11 and 12 sets. I think with all the attention the WRs will get there will be opportunities for the TEs.
 
it is getting real spooky 👻 in the WR ROOM. Next year they can trot out a 3rd year Mali, Moore, and Daylin, with 2nd year Wingo and Milan, with Linnear 🤦🏻‍♂️

When is practice #10? The schedule on the UM website says today Thursday April 9th but another source says we are off until Saturday. Which one is correct?
