Tight ends this postseason

[miamicanes305]

Any chance these guys get going in the pass game? Think they can help slow down Styles and Reese but if they’re just gonna run cardio and block, it may be more useful to put McCoy or Pancake in as a 6th lineman. Any thoughts? Think Lofton needs a few catches to open up play action more, don’t trust Bauman in the pass game although good blocker. What everyone think?

I'll be satisfied if they merely sure up their blocking assignments.

Not gonna lie, based off the thread title, I fully expected this to be another Notre Dane thread. Hooray it wasn’t…..

ND TEs are the best in the playoffs while not being in the playoffs

TE’s played great against Pitt. Need a repeat.

I’d rather just go 4 WR and force Ohio state to take a lb off the field

Then A/B gap out of the pistol!

My first thought was latinas on South Beach.

Dawson said the Malipass was designed to go to Lofton deep but the Edge unexpectedly picked him up. I think they will be involved similar to how they were to end the year when both of them made some nice plays down the field.

Both? Down the field?

Both? Down the field?

Yes, both Bauman and Lofton had 30+ yard receptions (29 if you want to pedantic with Lofton) during the last 4 games of the regular season.

Its not unexpected.

The malipass has always targeted the tightend.

They studied film. Dawson didnt change the scheme.

Was unexpected to Dawson, or at least thats what I remember him saying about the play in the presser.

Agree it was a poor call, especially since one thing I had noticed rewatching a few A&M games was how often Howell covered a TE/RB way down the field, like he did on that play. Really shouldn't have been a surprise to our OC. Hope he has a much better game calling plays against Taint.

 

[SinisterCane]

We have TEs?

 

[dantheman349]

Loftin was blocking very well from the few times I saw him

Seems like he's getting healthy again. Still carrying too much weight. But I wouldn't be surprised if he has a Mesidor-like bounce back next season with the right S&C.. He's more an H-back/Fullback than a TE though.

 

[miamicanes305]

Is the incoming freshman Mueller a Y tight end?

 

[BS85]

This year's TEs are the worst i can remember at UM.

 

[TexasCane90]

Yes.
