How Chris Herndon and Ryan Griffin can save our season if used properly

2-TE sets is how you overcome a bad OL.  Ask Brady who did not have a good OL for much of his career but he had Gronk and the murderer Aaron Hernandez lining up both in-line

 

it helps both pass and run blocking plus the defense often cannot predict who will be used as the receiver

 

Griffin has been a surprisingly good under the radar signing.  The guy should not be forgotten once Herndon finally is back which is next week.  I want both at full time snaps

A lot of the board has been saying this. Bring in another TE and use him as a FB/TE. The oline can’t block anyone, Jax lived in the backfield yesterday. They consistently got pressure up the middle forcing Darnold to move outside into Campbell, Nga and Allen. There was numerous plays where the oline didn’t even touch or slow down the passrushers. 
It’s not rocket science. They were moving the ball when they gave Darnold time. If you can’t block with the oline bring in a TE/FB to help. Bell looks frustrated as hell as well. He’s getting mauled.

Normally I'd agree with the topic but when the OL is this bad I don't think any amount of TE's will help. They need to get younger and more talented at each position on this OL. That unfortunately will not happen overnight as we all know and its going to be a rough rest of the season if the Line play doesn't step it up.

Griffin is nothing special and he is looking good out there.  The herndon thing really hurt this team.  With the oline we have tresco should be in there at least half the time for better protection. 

 

herndon is no antonio gates or gronk he is an avg player-jet fans always over value the talent level -this team has very little and even worse our coach does not know how to use what we have

Use Griffin and Herndon both to chip block.  It will help our crappy tackles

I know it was a Macc draft pick, and that kind of answers my own question, but what is up with this Wesco tool? Wasn't this a**hole drafted  because he was a great blocker? The only time you even know this guy is in the game is when he gets his weekly specials penalty.

What’s up with him?  Same thing as 99% of Mac’s other draft picks he stinks

Totally disagree.

 

Yeah ok he’s not the GOAT at the tight end position but he is going to be a good to very good all around TE
