Jordan Reed OMG thread

Blocking can be coached up, what I'd like to see from Reed is to cut down on the penalties. I think that also comes from technique/coaching.

yeah, i've never seen skill player get so many holding penalties... and they were all pretty much pointless to. he kept getting called on plays where his holds didn't/wouldn't even help if the refs missed them.

If Sleepy Davis can become a good blocker, I think Davis can get there with a little extra work and willingness.

Having Paul back will be nice. But he is also a liability in the run game as well. He's just not a natural TE and often can not handle NFL LB's in the run game. He's more of an H back. Off the top of my head Paul should be Reed's backup and a standout on teams.

When we run 2 TE sets, it should be Reed as the H back, and a drafted pure TE playing the Y position.

Paul, Reed, DJax, Garcon in a standard 2 TE set would be pretty bad ass.

Reed & Paul create real match up problems.

That personnel group would be a total mess when we ran the ball.

Run the ball? Why would we do that?!?

^^^with that personnel group, even as a hardcore run game proponent myself, if the defense plays base personnel? I would almost never run the ball. LBs aren't gonna be able to cover Reed or even Paul. Now against a Nickel/Dime defense I would be more balanced because I know Niles can consistently block a DB.

^^ That's kind of what I am thinking. From that formation, they will almost never face eight in the box, but, even so, the play action has to be respected. If they don't adjust, it is a perfect offense for KC's passing style, if they do adjust, then we should be able to run over them.

Reed is not a blocking TE. He's a receiving TE. He lacks the strength that a blocking TE has. Sure....he can be coached to block but that's not who he is.

We are not saying that Reed should be able to block like Donnie Warren. We are saying that he can't block worth a damn compared to just about any other NFL football player. We just want him to become halfway decent at blocking. That's all.
