FalconofShadows Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Title is the question. Would you prefer have the team sign a high end WR 2 or TE 2? In intrigued by the Idea of getting a Top tier TE2 either in the draft or FA. Preferable a all around pass catcher and blocker and run like Zaccheus as the WR2. To be able to go 12 personel and be able to move Pitts around in a no huddle situation would be beneficial as he can be inline out wide or even in the slot and Zacheus can also play out wide or in slot. Would let AS be creative but also be in good run personel in case the defense shows a light box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moist Words Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 It's an intriguing question with Arthur running an offense the way he does but my initial thought is I'd rather have a top end WR2. Feels like it'd open up more options on offense and especially if they can find the right kind of top end WR2.

Sui_Generis Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 WR2. TE. Pruitt is more than serviceable in this scheme. And cheap. Killing Floor, dyrtysouth2000, Lornoth and 3 others 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconFanSince1969 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Wr2. Need speed to create space underneath for Pitts and London. Right now we stress the defense for about 15 yards down the field. kschreck and ShoNuff 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still agree with the general premise though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImElPresidente Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 As much as we run the ball we need TE2 more of an in-line guy than Pitts, more like a lineman. If we can run the ball how we know this offense can at a consistent basis it won’t matter who we have at WR2 honestly!! bossFALCON™ and Lionzblade 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still agree with the general premise though I'd use him more as a giant slot receiver where he will be too big for a nickel Cb and too fast for a cover lb. Fast wr2 clears out the extra safety leaving 1 on 1s for one of them Killing Floor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my mind being able to have Pitts play the Wr in some situations would work especially in the slot. But he could also run decoy routes as he's fast enough to clear out safties deep and let drake Zachhues and the TE work the 20 yards and inward routes at times.

Dude has 4.4 speed. A true burner would be a nice piece to add to the mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well obviously that is an option as well for when we are taking deep shots and whatnot. We just don't have a speed aspect on offense right now at any level. We need a speed RB too.

Killing Floor Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 WR between those 2 options. Art Smith doesn’t get tight ends and I’d rather take a flyer on a true receiver. If we want a B- blocker we can draft one late or catch a fading vet. Herr Doktor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not because he’s lucky but because he has the physical attributes to be better. Fingers crossed we unlock his handcuffs next season. Wins waiting to be celebrated.

Lornoth Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 We need a WR way more than a TE. We have decent TE depth already on the roster with Hesse and Pruitt. If we roll into next year with OZ as our #2 then just give up already. He shouldn't be more than a 4. The Don™ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a third WR at best. That's why we need a legit WR#2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why we need a legit WR#2. Not sure I'd even say that. His best game of the season by far was the week after Pitts went to IR. I'd argue it was his only good game of the season. He seemed better early because Mariota only threw the ball to him twice a game and he caught them both. Once he started getting more targets he showed he's not up to be a featured part of the offense. Reminds me of Harry Douglass but honestly not nearly as good.

Diggable Birds Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Fitzpatrick may actually be a solid TE but Pruitt put in work last season and deserves to be resigned don’t wast a pick on another TE -WR2 is a much bigger need I really like the kid out of SMU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
