Curious....Could we not bulk Stephens up a little and make him a TE in obvious passing situations..

there are three bodies on the roster, two of which were recruited by the staff to play the position so i would rather we see if those guys can or can't play versus force feed john stephens into becoming a flex end

 

[WhiteHispanicFrog]

Don't care- it's for my own health and well being. If I have to sit through another 12 games of what we witnessed last year I'll need immediate medical attention

If your general health and well being is affected that greatly by college kids playing a game then I'd suggest finding another way to spend your time.

While I don’t disagree...We are hot on a TE for a reason..All I’m saying is we have a RS FR In Stephens with the body and the athleticism to help us..Assuming he could get off the line of scrimmage he’d be a tough cover from the flex. Ultimately you’re right...I’d hope and existing guy could get the job done

How is QB not a concern? Seriously.

Not a worry because it literally can’t get any Worse than last year. Right?

How about we just play him as an outside receiver like the rest of the nation does rather than benching from for 5 dudes who can't get separation?

This Anderson thing is a joke man. You really don't think every good, talented kid at every school in the nation doesn't want carries/touches? If i hear one more time that the reason we are benching the best RB in 20 years is he "cant block" or has some "attitude issues" I will drive my car off a cliff. That's just obscene. We finally get the talented kids and pure talent level we have begged for for years, and we [ Finebaum ] on them. How's that make sense? We aren't the only school to ever get kids with talent that have a little ego. Play the talent. TCU does some bizarre thing where if we don't find them under the radar, change their position 6 times, and declare they have "Frog factor" then we must hate them! grow up. When Anderson rushes for 1200 yards next year in the NFL none of you can claim he was a TCU guy. BC you all shat on him

Hmm.... Can we really do that?...I meen our greatest players were all re-purposed...Sounds risky

That escalated quickly. Also I’d bet almost anything that Darius Anderson doesn’t rush for 1200 yards next year in the nfl.

No one has been benched. It's June. You can stop acting like a complete moron at least until a game has been played.

Such a ridiculous take. Off to ignoreland for you. I hope you don’t watch next season. Frogs don’t need your negativity.

If it's an obvious passing situation then there's really no difference between a flex TE and a slot receiver. He doesn't need to gain any weight to play in the slot.

I don't know what the fascination is of having production from the TE position just for the sake of having production from the TE position. If you bring in a really good TE then you'll get the production. Until then, just get your best weapons on the field. If Stephens is one of the best weapons then I'm all for having him on the field. Whether he's labeled as a TE or not while he's out there is completely irrelevant.

Life can be unfair … but if the kid has an attitude/ not interested in blocking / has either poor hands or not willing to run/learn routes properly, we should be using the players that can make the yards and do the rest that RBs are required to do.

Now we could, if Anderson is able to receive a KO effectively (no punts please), use those talents where he is not required to block for others.

I guess you'll be chasing Thelma and Louise then. Bye Felicia.

Guess you missed last year. Guy rushed for 145 yards against Ohio State and then was neglected for the remainder of the season. Get a grip

Or, just a thought here, we could slightly adjust our mindset to ensure the best players are on the field just like every other school in the nation. This kid didn't get arrested or hurt anyone, he justifiably wants the ball more. Absolutely deserved. You people are a beating

Whether he's labeled as a TE or not while he's out there is completely irrelevant.

The fascination people have with the TE position has more to do with the staff having said they want to bring in a pass catching TE and the fact the TE/H-Backs have been kicking us in the ass since we joined the B12. It’s pretty clear on the recruiting trail that we have made the position a priority.

As for production...we have no idea if we have a good TE as we don’t give them a chance to make plays..
