Its a dead give away to the defense.

Now with Compton banged up we're in a even tougher spot because we're forced to try and get TE McCoy ready to be blocking TE in a pinch.

Its gonna be interesting to see how they approach the running game.
Will base personnel runs work w/ Jordan blocking the POA?
Will McCoy get enough plays down to contribute?
Or will they use formations without a TE blocking the POA as the base of the run game.
Other WCO teams like Seattle and GB often go I-Form 3 wide with no TE in their run game package.

I hope they get the run game going somehow.

Yeah, TE is a big issue right now especially when you'd really like to have 2 TE's on the field. Hopefully McCoy gets up to speed quick..

It's going to be tough Sunday to run the edge if there's no one there to set the edge. Inside is dead with Suh there. I expect the running game to struggle but hopefully the passing game is clicking enough to keep MIA from bringing the house on every play..
