3) Todd Yoder is still on the team

The Seahawks 2nd TE caught 14 passes. The Broncos 2nd TE (Daniel Graham) caught 24 passes. The Packers 2nd TE 18. The Colts 2nd TE caught 31. Point being, 2nd TEs do have an impact, but considering we have a young quarterback he is probably going to be more likely at checking down to the RB and FB than scanning the field and going to his 5th option which would be the 2nd TE.

Yeah, good post. On top of all this, Zorn is said to be seeking to find ways to get Portis more involved in the passing game as a receiver. More plays will be designed to go to him.
