You had to look up his position, didn't you?

I know I had to.

My favorite part of his article (that you made me go find by the way) was this line:

"The 6-foot-5, 250-pound Laye was rated one of the nation's top 50 tight ends in the country by 247Sports and Scout.com."

NOT ONE OF THE TOP 50 TIGHT ENDS! Oh noes!

Good luck to the kid. I hope he becomes a star at Jacksonville State.

It was in the story.

And I was led to believe all our TEs were either in max prison for robbery or Cam shot them in the knees during a drug deal last summer. State media does a lotto keep us informed, after all.

The kid had no business signing with a team that doesn't utilize his position as a receiver. The stat's bear that out.

Bye Felicia

Why?  Do you want him to basically live in obscurity for 4 years and be an "Auburn man" and have zero chance at a future in football beyond his time in AU?  The fact is that for whatever reason, Malzahn has made the TE position obsolete.  I think it's ridiculous and something that's very wrong with the direction he's been taking this offense.  But if the kid was considered one of the better TE's in the nation coming out...and has been relegated to people wondering who the hell he is when it's announced he's leaving....can you blame him? 

Maybe the kid wasn't given the opportunities he was promised.

Every time we sign a TE, I wonder the same thing!

Five statements of WISDOM
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friends, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

Lutz holds the TE record for TD's at AU.  He was getting 2-3 catches every game in his prime.  And by prime, I mean when he wasn't a true freshman or injured.  And it seemed all of his catches were big, given the circumstances.  But since 2011, the TE position has pretty much been eliminated.  It's Tight End by name only.  You don't have to go Gonzales or Gronkowski with your TE, but he needs to be an option a D has to be aware of.  Not just another blocking back.

Williams could have done for a TE but this offense has no short game beyond wide receiver screens and an occasional flare to a back. That's why we stay pissed over the wasted calls for which the other team is prepared. Then you have a QB having to throw a medium/deep route to an iffy-handed receiver.
Punt.

You say this, but really, when did we use the TE for short routes?

They were usually throwbacks or the little wheel route up the sideline. A true 10 and sit route is NEVER employed. I may remember a couple os seam routes. But the TE is not utilized much at all in this offense.
That is why it is lunacy for a TE to choose AU.
