Time to get a Donnie Warren, block-first TE. There isn't a TE on the roster that can block, which is a HUGE liability in the run game. Asking Reed and Davis to block is like asking a pig to recite Shakespeare. As Cooley has said all year, our TE's avoid contact.

I'd want a TE that can do both. If you have a strictly run blocking TE you are basically giving a sign to the D that you plan to run. That's why prime TE's that can do both are so valuable.

I should have clarified, there is still a place for a receiving TE in 2 tight end sets. But as long as Jay doesn't utilize a FB in his offense, he needs a blocking TE to seal the edge. We don't have one of those on the current roster.
