I hope that I spelled his name right.

I haven't seen much talk about CJ so far this year so I thought I would ask.

Why don't we use him more? I don't get why someone with his height doesn't get some jump balls thrown at him once and a while.

So far he has 5 catches for 46 yards making an average of 9.2 yards per catch. You would think that he would be targeted more.
 
Interesting take. Honestly, I have not seen this brought up before.

I'm not convinced he is a quality player, especially a team player. When Rudock scored Saturday, CJF raised his arms expressing complaint of not getting the pass for TD. Man alive, your team just scored!!!! He should have gone to celebration instead of complaint. That shows self-focus instead of team-focus. And remember, he was the one who failed to go after the onside kick in last year's Central Michigan game. A couple of glaring incidents that leave me with a lot of questions about him.
 
Dallas Clark threw up his hands the same way when Flacco missed him on a td in Denver. Is he not a team player either? Fiedorowicz did throw his hands up, he was wide *** open. He was also over celebrating with his teammates 2 seconds later
 
one of life's great mysteries.

The TD against NIU is the exact way a guy like him should be used in the redzone but they seem hesitant to do it. Maybe they are saving him? :rolleyes:

CJFed has shown a propensity for having passes bounce off his hands, sometimes his fault, sometimes the passes were mistimed and mis-aimed. But if you throw a jump ball and the ball bounces in the air it can easily be picked. Maybe that is why they are hesitant.

I think CJFed is showing he can run some good routes this year. Boy he has wiffed on a few blocks though.

CJ has dropped a pass this year? When did that happen?

Shumpert has dropped 50% of balls thrown his way all year. Still starts and gets thrown at 10 times a game.

Real reason is that Davis don't know TEs. Didn't last year, doesn't this year. Our TE's are open over the middle all day, but since that pass would not be a horizontal pass to the sideline for negative yards, they don't get thrown to.

This might help all understand why they don't use CJ more and often............A) He has the advantage on almost every play over the defender. B) If they went to him more often, that means they'd be taking advantage of the advantage that CJ has on the defender. For any other team this would represent a huge opportunity to move the ball downfield. To a kf coached team CJ represents just another tight end and the mismatch advantage that he represents means little to them. Once you accept this about a kf coached team, it won't make it any less frustrating, but it will confirm the obvious that a kf coached team DOES NOT do everything it can to win.
 
Since the dawn of the forward pass receivers have been claiming the QB should just throw it up and he will get, it doesn't even matter if he is open.

That of course if ridiculous as it still requires accuracy by the QB as well as a perfectly timed jump. Also, how is the coach going to react if instead of throwing to somebody open you decided to throw to a guy who is covered because he is tall?

Height matters but not a whole lot, CJ needs to worry about getting open consistently and maybe breaking a tackle now and then. Im hopeful he pulls it together but for a man his size he doesn't play very tough.
 
Just saving him for the right moment. Hopefully, that moment comes before he graduates......
