This argument has been debunked so many times. Middle of the field is fine,

those targets are just going to WRs and not as often to TEs.

Also, in the past, our TEs lined up as wideouts and got more targets that way. We have better receivers now and are not going to take them out of the game to let TEs line up out there unless we have stand out TEs, which for the most part we haven't.

Reread the post. I never said “only”, I clearly state “one of the only”.

I didn’t say that we had. The OP asked a question and I answered the question.

Correct, I totally misread your post...

Big target in the middle of the field who can run a little bit is so tough

Middle of field = Verboten. At least short middle of field in ARod’s playbook.
