I think we'll have a better inkling once training camp starts. A bit too early to tell at this point. Just by McVay's history with TE's and how second year players typically jumps in production, I voted for Gerald Everett.


Agree on the TEs. I almost picked Everett (and I picked him up last season in a dynasty FF league).

But for some reason picked Hig.

fwiw everett saw 8 redzone targets last year, 5th most among rams, comparatively watkins saw 10, just 2 more than everett, whereas higbee only saw 3 rz targets... anyway the rams tight end unit was one of the least utilized te units in the league last season in terms of the passing game, and among the least efficient in terms of catching the ball, here are a few rankings:

targets - 27th
catches - 28th
yards - 25th
1st down catches - 31st
catch rate per target - 28th
targets as % of total targets - 24th
catches as % of total catches - 28th
tds per target - 27th
tds per catch - 25th
1st downs per target - 32nd
1st down per catch 23rd

that said it's almost impossible to complain about the unit, criticize it's performance, or second guess mcvay's use/development of the unit given how hugely successful the rams were on offense last season, but it does make you wonder if there is even a plan to give it a bigger role in 2018?

At TC last year, while up close and personal, TH got his first crack at the Jugs machine and 'stone handed' his first ball. It looked like it bothered him... Just sayin'.

YEP! He looked really solid in his first training camp and on the rise before the injury dropped him last season. He will become a force in both the pass and run game. Mark my words; this kid is going to shine and become TE 1a to Everett as the starter. Higbee is on notice. 40 receptions, 700+ yds, 6 TDs. I will humbly eat my words if I am wrong, barring injury, of course.

Can't be Ejuan Price. A small defender from Univ. of Pitt will never make it.

No, but seriously, Price gets looked over because he's kind of a one trick pony in pass rushing, but with all the eyes on Donald/Brockers/Suh.......one trick might be all he needs to rack up half a dozen sacks or so.

interesting, altho i have no idea if they were male or female.

Being mean to the dog would be having an out of control dog which is much more likely to get into harms way. I give my Shorthairs a lot of latitude when they are hunting. If they are not pushing to the limit they are not working to their potential. It is much better to bump birds than to not get close enough to not bump birds at all.

can't speak for anyone else, but i didn't take what you posted as being harsh to your four-legged family members.
