Tightends Not Being Used Enough

[1defense]

What has happened with L.J.Smith he was suppose to be a major factor on offense?

He's played in 4 of 6 games, but only has one catch. Apparently, the Eagles got rid of him for a reason... Can't stay healthy.

Thats not the reason. He hasnt been deactivated for any recent games. We just arent doing 2 TE sets.

That's true, but if he was a receiving talent, he'd be a larger part of the Offense. Especially when you consider that he's being paid $1 million, more than Jared Gaither and LeRon McClain combined...

I still think he needs to get involved in the offense ,I have heard that he is nasty when catching the pass even better than Todd Heap.I like Heap but I would love to see some passes caught from the tightends for long touchdowns this week that could help on the outside passing game as well.

Agreed. If we would use our TE's more in the passing game that would take a lot of pressure off the WR's to be able to get open and get those big plays.
