Prediction - Gentry 80 Yards Receiving Against Bills

Post by LakecrestSteeler » Thu Dec 12, 2019 1:12 am

Vance is out I assume...Time for Gentry to assume the TE responsibilities...will be par for the course for a rookie to rescue the position.

You don't think it would be Vannett?

Seriously. They dusted-off Haley's old playbook to run the vaunted U-shaped offense.

Doubt we see any change or growth from the offense. They're going to ride-or-die with the 'D'. That's the way Tomlin has always wanted it.

Yes, yes, and yes.
I tell you what...if Gentry has 80 receiving yards against the Buff Bills, I will self impose a posting ban til the end of the regular season. :mrgreen:

I just can’t get my mind around why they continually ignore a position that every other NFL utilizes.

Gentry did more in 2 games than Vannett has done in
10.

I am exaggerating somewhat, but I like what I saw with Gentry. I think he would have benefited from the post Switzer resurgence!

Don’t you see what this means? Duck will be able to baby bird feed Gentry! He can literally throw up to feed Gentry...the ball.

Ummm no, he went in the 5th. Eleven picks AFTER we selected the great Josh Dobbs.

Jesse James, Xavier Grimble, and Ladarius Green we’re our TE’s going into that draft.

If only Dri Archer’s lil brother was available they could have taken him instead of Kittle too.

I predict that at least one of our TE's will jump offsides.

Ehh...
Vannett in 10 games...7 receptions for 70 yards
Gentry in 2 games (plus one snap in a 3rd) O receptions for 0 yards.
Not much for Vannett. Nothing for Gentry.

The vaunted U shaped offense gets post of the day. Hopefully either the TE or a judiciously used Juju can help that phenomenon.

Also, a huge Gentry fan. I know he's a relatively obscure player, and I can't really point to any specific reason why, but I am a huge fan none the less.

This board has to let the 'Kittle' thing go.
Every team passed on him multiple times, some 5 times. Only a few posters here actually called for the Steelers to draft Kittle.
Sure Dobbs was a lousy pick and I wouldn't have touched him until the 6th round. Actually, I thought he was in the FA range.

Kittle is a 'move' TE a position the Steelers rarely if ever draft. They like their TE's to be bigger than Kittle. I'm not sure the Steelers braintrust would have known what to do with Kittle. He landed in the perfect place out in SF where his talents are being used to the max.

If I look at that draft and could change one pick-I'd take Eddie Jackson over Conner who went 7 picks earlier.

And looking back at that draft the Steelers came away with RB depth, a MONSTER OLB and a receiver who has already had a 100 reception season. Not bad work even though they reached for Dobbs.

It was nice work agreed.

However, the TE position was bad then and it’s still bad now.

It’s just a shame they missed on a great talent to instead take a clipboard holder.

It drives me crazy that the Steelers ignore the position. Look at guys they have drafted at that position after taking Miller with a #1. All those years and they used only one premium pick. Tells me what they think of the position. Then again, they wasted draft capitol year after year on the defense and just now got it fixed(with FA bringing them their starting CB's).

Funny thing about the 2017 draft-the Steelers struck gold with their premium picks while the 49ers got Kittle in the fifth and DJ Jones in the 6th.

Exactly. No affinity for Michigan...can’t explain it either. Saw his high school highlights, and college highlights, and then know his size....just hoping for a diamond in the rough, and I believe they are under utilizing him. I saw him with decent blocks when he was in for his 40 or so snaps. How can he not be successful!?

I freakin begged for DJ Jones. He even played in the MAC and was within driving distance. I don't know how they missed on him.
