Matt39 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 The kid is pretty good. Blair White sucks as Collie's understudy...but this Tamme kid is legit. Do we have anyone that can defend him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiFtheOracle Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 He is and he isnt. In terms of skill set and ability. Maybe. But in terms of literally being in Peyton's head and knowing exactly what Peyton wants to do with the ball in certain situations...not at all. Clark was Peyton's safety valve. Dont think Tamme's got that kind of trust yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont think Tamme's got that kind of trust yet. I have to agree with that. Clark knew every single hot route to run in every situation. I still think Tamme will hurt us as we don't have someone who can guard him. Wait who am I kidding. ERIC SMITH IS BACK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damaged89 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I think Clark is much more athletic. Tamme doesn't run away from people the way Clark does. He'll still eat us alive of course, but not as bad as Clark would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serphnx Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Tamme is maybe half the player Clark is. Peyton Manning really is just that damn good. He will probably carve us up again. I think Vick is the most dangerous QB this year but Manning has been the best QB of this generation hands down. I know the Pats trolls and the media will argue this, but it's much easier to stop Brady than it is Manning. Rex still hasn't figured out how to stop Manning.

jason423 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I dont think its even close. Clark had tremendous hands and had become a killer route runner. He could stretch the field as well as any tight end in the league other than Gates. He knew every route Peyton wanted in every situation. Thats not Tamme. Hes still a catch and gather the ball player which is why many of his routes are pure safety routes going just 4 yards past the LOS. He does not have that connection with Manning at all. Manning expects left and Tamme goes right. I watched at least two games this year where Manning just tore into him when he screwed up. Still doesnt mean our guys will stop him since they cant stop anyone, but Clark is a far better player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, he isn't. They both catch a ton of balls, yes. But Tamme cannot break away like Dallas Clark can - he doesn't have "home run" threat ability, he is a great possession receiver at TE though.

Obviously he isnt as talented, but the drop off hasnt been that big from Dallas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldnt exactly call Dallas Clark a home run type of player, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compared to Tamme and just about every other TE not named Vernon Davis or Antonio Gates, yeah, he is a "home run" hitter for a TE... Clark separates and gets down the field with the best of 'em. What'd you think I was comparing him to Devin ******* Hester? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt39 Posted January 5, 2011 Author Share Posted January 5, 2011 You know how I know you are a doosh? Relax, I was kidding. I know what you meant. Was just pointing out, Tamme provides virtually the same threat as Clark down the middle of the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching Tamme play, the thing that is different about him and Clark is that Clark was much more likely to catch and run and NOT GET CAUGHT. While Tamme catches a ton of balls and even get a little bit of YAC, but the difference is that he is far less likely to take it to the house.

He'll still eat us alive of course, but not as bad as Clark would. I dissagree, its quite the opposite. Clark has better hands but is rather soft for a TE. Tamme is a better athlete with more speed,worse hands and better toughness. Clark may have trouble getting his job back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
