I know that sounds a little off centered...

But if Ebron cant catch or block...why cant we give Juju some of Ebrons plays?

Ebron's role is not one of a true tight end....more of a hybrid role, and I believe JuJu would excel at it, and be a much better blocker also.

Ebrons horrible and pathetic attempt to block Chase Young on the edge at the goal line costs us 7 seven points....not to mention all the drops all over the field last night..

The added benefit would be to get Washington more snaps..

Ebron didn't bother to block Chase Young on the one goal line run by Snell, Snell probably scores if Ebron at least gets in Young's way.

That play is a perfect example of the offense. Bad execution by the player and bad matchup created by the coaches.

I think he whiffed or didn't bother to try to block Chubb in the Denver game as well, and it ended with the same result.
 
Bring Kevin Radar up and split his snaps with Ebron. You're telling me that Radar and Vance can't catch a 4 yard pass over the middle? Hell, Ebron drops most of them anyhow. Radar will absolutely block.
 
If this is what you are then you might as well embrace it. Ebron is not a Tight End. He is a large flexed out Receiver. So take him out and put Claypool in the slot and go 4R. Run draws, flat passes and screens to Conner and Mcfarland. Ebron is an illusion the opponents have caught onto. He doesn't body anyone. He doesn't seam. He runs Receiver routes. Never mind the drops. He isn't as fast as the other receivers. Claypool with threaten the seam way more.
 
Give me a great blacking TE over a decent catching TE that can't block for ****, every single time.

If not JuJu, at least give some more touches to Washington, he has more than earned it with his consistency so far this season.
 
If we go 5 wide, the 5 best WR's should be on the field. Ebron is not in that group. It should be Juju, DJ, Claypool, JW, and Ray-Ray.

Ray-Ray has had many splash plays for us this season but for some reason has gotten less touches as the season went on...that makes total sense.
 
1 more easy cathable ball that slips start right away in the buffalo game playing both juju and chase as te.

this...and it looked like Snell started lunging toward the goal line from too far back...
