Redefining the TE position? Following the NBA Blueprint of the stretch 5

[SteveA]

I'm sure purists will have their say here and kick my ***, but I am a little perplexed as to the function & use of TE's these days. Yes they have the 2 TE sets but I think someone should be innovative enough to redefine the TE.

They are mostly huge guys who lumber down the field. Why? The NBA has moved away from the traditional Center with amazing results....These are now Stretch 5's & 4's who can knock down the tree point shot

I think the Steelers should get as many guys with great speed and great hands and line these ******* all over the place....Maybe these guys need to have some height to them to see in the middle of the field, but not be 6'5" or 6'3"...

Especially if you are getting the ball out of your hand real quickly a speedster at the TE position makes sense...Will blocking suffer? Maybe? But from what I can see there ain't a whole lot of great blocking TE's anyways.

I think we should implement it asap....I'd like to see it now with Crybaby gone who wants the ball every throw. If not, if Noah Fant is available at 20, better grab him because NE will

So....what say ye?

If you want the TE to block, he better be capable. You can't just say **** it or you could very well get Ben hurt out there.....................

If you want shifty speedsters, you don't PUT a TE on the field. You go with the Spike Offense.

Say it with me!

5 Wide *******!
