Tight Ends

[Okoboji75]

The TE's have been absent from the passing game this year. Is this by design in support of the run?

With all of the drops by the tight ends this year: Would you throw them the ball?

Combination of not-so-great catching by TE, keeping TE in on pass protect, and the three amigos getting a lot of WR balls.

As already noted, no TE has established themselves as dependable receiver yet. BUT... it is also due to fact the WRs are establishing themselves, getting open, and for most part, catching balls thrown to them.
McNutt and Davis have both done well and JV is getting ball to them.

I think that CJF is about the only one that can catch the ball, but his blocking isn't always great, though it was pretty good this week. Might get to see some more of him soon. I think Hamilton has the ball skills, not sure on his blocking, but I believe he played already this year, so I'd like to see him get some more reps.

Derby- ok blocker, horrible hands.
Herman- who in the world knows what happened to him.

The bad combination is that Coker is not really a receiver either. Iowa's offense needs a receiver out of the TE or RB position and they have neither.
