So Grant Paulsen is saying, and I just checked with a couple other people, that Niles Paul is working as a TE this week

He seems a bit lightweight for a TE. Unless he's bulked up in the offseason. Aren't most TEs in the 240s and higher weight range?

Re: Redskins Add WRs Pierre Garcon and Joshua Morgan

That's just prototypical tight ends who are 6'3, 6[4, 6'5, and 6'6 who weigh 240-260 pounds these days. Paul could possibly play TE. If he has the strength to block LBs and DEs, then his size shouldn't really matter.

It would be a nice move to place Paul @ TE in some situations to form mismatches.

I'd rather have a TE at 240-260 if he's going to block LBs or DEs instead of being at 220 lbs.

Niles Paul would be a Aaron Hernandez type TE. Short and fast. Although I do believe Paul is way faster with better blocking ability. Both 6'1 but Niles Paul only weights 225 and would have to gain about 20 more pounds to catch up with Hernandez.

Yes, I understand that. What if Kyle Shanahan calls a play where the offense is running a stretch the play away from Paul who is lined up at TE? Let's say he's blocking an OLB on the play. On the very next play Paul is lined up at TE again and is able to beat the OLB deep on play action where there's no safety help whatsoever and ends up catching a 69 yard TD pass from RG3?

That would be a great play call that was used off a play action pass that running the ball set up. I'd rather see TEs who are 240-270 pounds also. But if Paul is used this way, it would make defenses respect Paul and make them accountable for him when he's lined up as a TE.

I think this makes sense , if Paul can play WR and TE in certian packages it would give us some flexibility with playcalling .

I think this is a super tall order for Niles Paul to play TE. He must bulk up. If he pulls this off, ultimate beast move.

Re: Redskins Add WRs Pierre Garcon and Joshua Morgan

ya know....I like Niles Paul as a TE, never thought of that...its probably the only way to get him in the passing game....he is probably our 6th receiver at best...now he is our 3rd TE unless we end up doing something crazy like trading Cooley...
I think it is good for Niles Paul and it is good TE insurance in case someone decides to start smoking weed again.

He essentially plays the same position in the offense as Fred Davis (a position that's never on the LOS in a 3 WR set), so that would make some sense.

Paul also played some TE late last season when Paulsen was the no. 1 guy.

And it's not like Niles Paul would ever play in 2 WR, 1 TE, 2 RB personnel. So try not to think of him as the prototype in-line TE. It's just an interior receiver.

Exactly. Not sure why kids are saying something about his weight if the guy is 230 (give or take).

This is either genius or incredibly stupid.
