Egnew Sighting

Deadeye · Posted: Sun Dec 30, 2012 9:49 pm Post subject: Egnew Sighting

I couldn't help but notice that our rookie TE Egnew (#84) was in the game when Tannehill and Bush fumbled down at the goal line. Egnew was lined up to the right and ran a slant or crossing pattern. When the ball was recovered by NE, Egnew was about three yards away. I think this represents real progress, and hopefully next season he will actually have a ball thrown to him.

after fasano left the game, he played a lot.

Tanney didn't look his way once, and he was open on atleast 2 plays.

Take that for its worth tho. Tanney could have just been looking further down field.

The way the pocket was collapsing around him, I'm not surprised that Tannehill missed him open a few times. There were several other times he missed guys while running for his life. I know that there are going to be a lot of people screaming but this OL is going to me a major priority this offseason. We need 2 OG's & an OT. Weapons are important but if your QB is flat on his back he can't use them. Fortunately, we have the picks & cap to address both.

Wouldn't doubt if we end up taking somebody like Ertz or Fauria with one of our 2nd round picks. Either one of them could turn into a #1 TE and a great redzone target with their height.

Good gawd, Egnew boils my blood. If Egnew is a total bust it means that Ireland traded away a probowl wide out for a 3rd round pick. Its so frickin' annoying that he is till employed. Its inexcusable. The Marshall trade alone should get Ireland's butt canned.

Egnew will be given every opportunity to succeed. He WAS good prospect with obvious holes in his game. Correctable flaws, but flaws nonetheless. He is smooth enough a route runner to succeed. He has good enough athleticism and hands to be a redzone threat, but he is SO weak. If he can be a league average blocker he will make the team next season. I hope he does but I wouldn't bet on him. I would bet on Miller, Vernon, Martin and Tannehill to make strides in their game because they have and they want it. Egnew has not shown that, but he also hasn't quite had the chance. Earn your keep, kid.
