Are the Jets not going to use tight ends?

Gase is long gone FYI we have more TE’s on the roster now than ever before. What the heck are you talking about? I don’t even know why I’m responding…

The Jets have five established WR on the roster. I am just thinking they are going to filter targets away from Conklin and Uzomah.

Conklin and Uzomah are better than your fly by night assessment gives them credit for. They have been here for 2 years of atrocious QB play.

Chris Herndon and Ryan Griffen stink(stunk).

Conklin and Uzomah are league average with upside and had shown that before they were Jets.

Robert Tonyan looked decent with Rodgers, Conklin and Uzomah are better than Tonyan  .... they will be fine. 

Premature post.... yet overdone and dry.

Conklin and uzomah are JAGs

Gase never used the tight end in his offense. Those underneath touches went to the slot receiver. Gailey was the same way. Enunwa got a lot of those types of targets

Conversley LaFleur loved the tight end. A lot of 12 personnel. Conklin was second on team in targets. 
 

With all the depth at receiver I wonder if the tight end will be phased out. Conklin and Uzomah stink so I’d be all for it.

Conklin was productive last year and Uzomah was efficient. The wild card this year is Ruckert, and how his red shirt season translates into a new offense in his second season. Seeing him involved early and often would be a good sign. Kuntz was drafted for his freakishness, which I love in a seventh round pick. If he can put it all together, he has the potential to be special.

At the very least Kintz should be able to be a red zone mismatch for us.

He spent three years at Penn State primarily as a special teamer, so that may help him get dressed on Sundays. Be fun to see him earn a role on offense as a rookie, but that’s probably an uphill battle.

Yes they're going to use TEs. Hackett's offense is built around them. Every team has 5 established WRs. They still use tight ends. 

Thank you for this epically dumb thread.

TE numbers when Hackett was OC in GB

2019:  63 receptions, ~700 yds 5 TDs

2020: 77 receptions, ~800 yds 16 TDs

2021: 82 receptions, ~700 yds 5 TDs

Jets 2022: 80 receptions ~800 yds 5 TDs, without a QB
Dumb?

I'm thinking about Kuntz right now.

The Jets have 2 TEs that have contracts that mean they are the roster this year.  They have last year's 3rd round pick and a fair UDFA from a few years ago that is a borderline roster player.  They still drafted a TE in the 7th and signed an UDFA athlete that they are converting from WR to TE, but TEs will be "phased out?"

Cool! Nothing about that dataset infers that the 2023 Jets are going to phase out TEs. 

So yeah, that's pretty dumb. 

More importantly nothing about the Packers use of the TE while Hackett was the OC says his offense is built around the TE.  Phasing out the TE is a wide gap from an offense designed around the TE.  I didn’t say it would be phased out, I agree it won’t, two extremes though
