Puddy Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I have McCoy on a taxi squad. What's the word on him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushwacked Posted August 30, 2011 Author Share Posted August 30, 2011 McCoy made some nifty plays last year and has some nice looking pass catching athleticism, he seemed to have a chance to overtake Carlson before this happened. But, the Hawks signed Zach Miller to a big contract a few weeks ago. So, you currently have a back up TE that almost certainly will take the #2 position on the depth chart if he hadn't already.

Yeah...forgot about Zach Miller since I don't have him on any of my 213 teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chadman Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Really sad for us locals here - hometown kid, great kid and family. Believe he's in the last year of his contract. Tough news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delusions of grandeur Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Wasn't a big part of Carlson's woes due to the fact that he had to stay back and block, because of the poor O-line, or am I thinking of someone else? Just curious, because that in addition to Tavaris Jackson and a ton of good targets might render any SEA TE fantasy worthless... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazinib1 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Seattle did not have the personel at TE last year (additional blocking TE) so Carlson was rendered useless. They are going to be running multiple 2 TE sets this year (Carlsons role would have been to block, freeing up Miller). Look for a veteran blocking TE signing very soon.

They are going to be running multiple 2 TE sets this year (Carlsons role would have been to block, freeing up Miller). Look for a veteran blocking TE signing very soon. A few of us were telling you to put the crack pipe down last year when you were over-drafting Carlson and projecting him to go top 5. You'll have to show me his block/pass run splits, and see how they compared to the prevous years, but I don't think he blocked all that much last year, relative to his first two year. He generally sucks at blocking. Carlson has been rendered useless for a couple seasons now because he's not as good as everyone thought he was. Again, his rookie year numbers were over-inflated catching wise because Seattle's entire WR core was injured. In pre-season, before his injury, Carlson was not blocking with the 1st team, he was playing in the 2nd half with the scrubs. As I side note, I'd be wary of projecting Miller to do to much as the O-line pass blocking has been abysmal, and unlike Carlson last year, Miller may be doing a lot of blocking.
