Willie Rodriguez

[DonAndy]

Best tight end in the country? Been more productive than any UK tight end i can remember.

And Boyer might be 2nd best.

 

[vhcat1970]

Jacob Tamme & James Whelan were pretty good.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

I need them both to continue to cook. Driver is a stone's throw from Lex. We need to flip him

 

[DonAndy]

And Boyer might be 2nd best.

I get the sarcasm. Look at Willie's numbers tho. I'm not just blue shading. We are 0-4 without him imo.

Those and dickie Lyons Jr. I'm sure I spelled that wrong. But Willie has been a force this year. He makes the easy plays. He moves the chains every game.

 

[vhcat1970]

DL Jr was a wide out.

DL Jr was a wide out.

Aw ok my bad

 

[DonAndy]

Stein has repeatedly said it. Obviously it's his player and he will but I think he believes it. It shows in his play. Willie got those first downs we needed desperately in the first half when it was 0-17.

 

[CUJO_1970]

Willie is a bad man.

I wasn't being sarcastic or an *** actually. I agree with you. I'm probably being way optimistic about Boyer but I really like him too.

Oh well hell yeah then lol I just assumed since you said the other guy. My apologies

All good!

and one of the best KO returners in the country.

Jacob Tamme says hold my beer

 

[MichaelGray]

I love the way Rodriguez is the lead blocker when we need a yard or two for a 1st down.

 

[DonAndy]

Jacob Tamme says hold my beer

Is it a coincidence they both had good qbs? Maybe they are just awesome tight ends lol.
I know Tamme was great just from his name alone but if im honest I didn't get to witness his play like I am Willie's. Jacob Tamme was definitely a stud.

I've had season tickets all the way back to the Jacob Tamme era.

This is no shade on Willie, because he is a very good player, but its the offense. As long as we have Stein, we're going to have elite te play. In fact this might be the least talented te room he has here.

That’s crazy that’s some decent TE in Willie, Boyer, and Skinner.

 

[rick64]

Finally a coach that knows how to utilize a TE in the passing offense.

 

[bigblueinsanity (the real)]

They are talented but given what we are doing we will start getting some insane te talent.

Also skinner isn't really a te unless he can gain at least 20 pounds. He is just a slow wr because he can't play in line at all.

I can't get mad at that. Heck I hope it's true.

 

[OGtruebluewildcat]

Having very good TEs and making them part of the game plan, especially crucial situations, is an absolute program changer.

One could argue Tamme was the guy who changed the Brooks era for the better.

For all the productive talent those teams had, Tamme was often the guy who kept a drive going and or finished in the red zone with a big play.

TE is like a running QB. It’s hard for a lot of Ds to be perfect and account for everyone all the time so if you have a QB who can pop off, or TE who can make plays when the D has done its job and covered everyone else…we get results like last night.

If UK beats OU in Norman in 2 weeks, Driver has to flip to UK.

Got to at least make it a competitive game if we don't get the win. Can't go down there and lay a egg.

 

[bigblueinsanity (the real)]

If UK beats OU in Norman in 2 weeks, Driver has to flip to UK.

I know I keep saying this but its true: it really doesn't matter. We will have elite tes regardless if its him or not.

Love to have him but we will always be fine especially at that position.

 

[vhcat1970]

and one of the best KO returners in the country.

Not as good as Abney.

[Bigtyrone]

Jacob Tamme & James Whelan were pretty good.

They were both excellent receivers. Whalen couldn’t block at all and Tamme wasn’t great at it. They were both fantastic for us.

What is your major malfunction, numbnuts?
