Thoughts on Fred Davis and Run Blocking

[30gut]

I think this recent campaign against Fred Davis blocking is misguided.
Davis is one of the better TEs in the NFL he's not an OL nor a blocking TE.
While Cooley is out there completely missing blocks, Fred is getting killed for getting beat 1 on 1 vs Mario Williams, Israel Idoneje and Julius Peppers.
Lets have some prespective, its preseason.
I doubt the regular season game plan is gonna involve Davis blocking the bigger DEs 1 on 1 to set the edge on a zone stretch all the time.

With that being said I actually agree that Paulsen is our best all around TE.
I've thought so ever since the Panthers game last year.
Although Paulsen can't run the whole route TE route tree like Fred he provides a good target on seam routes and corner routes and I honestly don't think I've seen him drop a pass.
And what Paulsen lacks as a receiving TE he more then makes up with his blocking.
Paulsen is a good enough blocker to set the edge in the run game 1 on 1 vs DEs.
