Top Tight End Tandems

I think we'd have to say the best tandem is Gronkowski/Hernandez.

Who's next? Could it possibly be Davis/Cooley?

Yes, weed and health are issues but still, could they possibly be next? Who else is in the discussion?

Will we run more 2-TE sets like I thought we would last year?

The answer lies in Cooleys health...

is it back?

If he's healthy, I'd put our two up against anybody.

He's reportedly on pace to be ready for OTAs, but haven't heard a lot from or about him lately. Was on 106.7 a few weeks ago and said he's good to go.

As far as Tight End tandums, Davis and Cooley is still a unknown. When healthy Cooley played and Davis barely got on the field. Once Davis got playing time Cooley was not option....

I can see a lot of 2 TE sets this year since they'll have a real QB and three or four #2 WR until Hankerson shows something. I can see both Davis and Cooley having good years, they'll both be free agents next season so I wouldn't be surprised if they added someone.

When they wre both healthy, the coaches couldn't get them both on the field. That's a shame.

Yes. Really seems like a formation we ought to use more. Can teams really cover both of those guys with linebackers? If not then we either complete a lot of passes to the TE against backers or run well if they use DBs. Two TEs, two WRs, Helu, and RGIII seems pretty scary to me. That's a lot of speed and flexibility in run, pass, and pass protection.

Would we start Morgan and Garcon?

:shock: the 2 best TEs are a drug free Davis & hopefully a revitalized Cooley - so I'd say no :wink:

Why not? Morgan and Garcon won't be lining up at TE.

You're right - :lol:

I do expect there's a chance we'll see Morgan & Garcon at WR - I doubt we'll see either at TE :lol:

this thread was about the TE combo - hence my :wink:



I could have clarified that but I'm a little :twisted:
