bossFALCON™ Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 his name is ben hartsock. im not sure what we are doing with him. we may pass on him or he may pass on us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott24falcs Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Ben Hartsock. He's a good run blocking TE. I would expect us to sign him soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenfried Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 The TE is Ben Hartsock. He's primarily a 260lb blocking TE. He has hands (not used too often) and can get open over the middle.My guess is that we are penny pinching right now. Look at the amount of money being played out there this free agency period. It's ridiculous. The Raiders are writing big checks to everyone. And Faneca -- I'm glad we didn't sign him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got coleman for a good price 10mm + 2mm signing bonus. Not sure the price of Hutchins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ridiculous. The Raiders are writing big checks to everyone. And Faneca -- I'm glad we didn't sign him.hartsock would be perfect for us, as would ben utecht imo. both good blocking tes. id be fine with either of them. that means milner would be #2 on the depth chart, which i like.i agree, the fa spending so far has been insane. 6.5 million a year for GIBRIL WILSON??!! i couldnt believe it. im afraid to see what the vikings paid berrian.and dont get me started on faneca, 8 million a year? jesus christ...i hope turner doesnt get overpaid like all these guys are... *gulp* same with maurice williams. but i want all 3 of these guys pretty badly now.

I would expect us to sign him soon.Yeah- none of the contracts I've heard of so far have been outrageous at all. The guy's we've gotten may not be top of the class, but they are solid and seem to be ideal fits into our projected new system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pencilpusher. just because Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I heard Dallas was sending Jason Witten, Marion Barber, both #1's this year and all their picks next year for Deangelo. I did.then Blank remembered who he was and turned it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blizzard_falcon Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I watched a few Titans games last season, including both against the Chargers, and came away impressed with him both as a run blocker and as a receiver the few times Young tossed him a pass. I mainly remember him just because I thought Hartsock was such a funny name... :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B^rooklyn Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 So this means we gonna have a 3 WR system...kind of like the Bengals or Cardinals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means that you will have a traditional power scheme with a blocking TE and FB and speedy WR's. Instead of needing apossession type receiver or TE you will have a run game that relies on the featured back to gain 3-4yds every carry.
