Ever since Arod took over for Grimes, our TE production has declined

…significantly. Pre-Arod the leading Receivers on the team were the tight ends (Bushman was #1 in ‘18 and #2 in receptions in ‘19)

…this continued under Grimes in 2020 w/ Rex, as a freshman, had 37 receptions

There has been a steep decline in TW production since Arod took the offense over… where leading TEs are generally in the teens and low 20s in receptions

Hope this isn't true

Jake throws to the playmakers. Be a TE playmaker and you'll get the ball.

I bet if our TEs were better, we’d pass to them more.

Not necessarily true— Roderick’s offense ignores the middle of the field

Hasn't really been the case this year

You're actually quite wrong.

More than two fantastic WRs. WR go about 6 deep before you hit one you don't

He gave you the data with Grimes' offense. Maybe its more than the coach?

The middle of the field was open against Utah and that’s how we won.

I guess you’ve completely ignored this entire season.

Jaren Hall ignored the middle of the field. Zach and Jake have not.

You mean our TE that had a PFF blocking grade of 13 last game?

That’s pretty awful. Wow

13? I've never seen a grade so low. Is this true?

Dark Forest Green

7:42am

Yes, it's true that Keanu Hill had a blocking grade of 13. Out of 100.

8:20am

Ouch. I'm assuming this means Hill forgot to block, everytime?

Explains Utah’s effectiveness on blitzes.

Wrong. Ta'ase has 3 TD receptions, has good hands and blocks well.

What evidence is there that we throw to our TEs less often than other teams? What data do they find compelling?

Just making sure people see the data. If there is a recruit who thinks we ignore tight ends then that recruit needs to

Arod flat out needs to utilize the TE more

Who do you want to get less touches? We have pretty good receivers and backs.

I'd like to get a play in before negative 2 seconds on the play clock.

We have 3 TE commits, and potentially one of the top TEs in the country in '26.

It wouldn't matter because we don't throw to TEs anyways
