I am brushing off the rookie problems of not working or studying or showing interest in learning as something he has moved past (I hope, Im just guessing).

Lions didnt want him. Colts dont want him. We wont want him in 2 years if he signs with us.

Thankfully, he shouldnt because he seems to be the antithesis of a RR guy.

It’s as if Ebron decided this season was a lost cause anyway, so time to get surgery and heal up to be ready for 2020. He’s not the first player to make what is known as a business decision, which make no mistake, is the real reason for why he limped away now.

He’s about to become a free agent, so getting healthy is essential to getting paid soon. But Ballard should be smart enough to not re-sign Ebron after he put himself before the team.

It’s not the first time the tight end has done that, either. Remember just a couple of weeks ago, Ebron went public with his grievance that he wanted to be more a part of the offense. Nothing was said at the time about injury. He sounded like a Pro Bowl tight end who didn’t think he was being used effectively enough.

I do not want an over paid one dimensional TE who cant play 3 downs and disguise our packages because he cant and wont block.

Fuck TEs who cant block. Double fuck TEs who dont even want to try. The days of Jordan Reeds being in fashion are over in the NFL. You need a 3 down guy so your play calling is not predictable. When we rolled Reed out there on an end = pass. When he put Sprinkle or someone in = run. Cant have that.

I dont need TEs who can burn slot CBs/LBs in the seam for 30 yards. I need a guy that can block, find the soft spots and move the chains.

Turner's offense, much like his dad's, thrives off the TE who run up the seam for 30 yards.
