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

…data to prove this? Respectfully disagree

Half the throws against Utah were over the middle

You're actually quite wrong.

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

Did you watch the Utah game??

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?

Nov 15, 11:37pm

That’s pretty awful. Wow

Nov 15, 11:44pm

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

Dark Forest Green

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

Rise Against

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

Explains Utah’s effectiveness on blitzes.

IMO, our TE’s don’t warrant targets from the WR’s on the field. Ryder has the

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
