He wasn't a mismatch in the NFL; he just ran great routes and had great hands

Why is it so hard to understand what a mismatch is, or that production is not evidence of one? There wasn't a single team who played the Ravens thinking, "How are we going to cover Pitta?" He had good size and speed, but he wasn't uncoverable.

Depends. They could also give him the carrier's he deserves and get his yards by

He certainly will get less ypc but he’ll also get more carries per game and

He was banged up some this year

I guess that’s true that it’s carries depend on health

I'm inclined to agree with this, but can I call you out if his YPC goes up? jk:)

Harder schedule and new RHS of the line. He won’t average 7 ypc.

Depends on how good the OL is

Definitely true that the OL and QB will determine a lot

There will be fewer TE mismatches next year

Coop

I disagree

“can win” =\= “mismatch”, and high-level safeties can deal with big TEs

Holker has been hyped as the next Pitta

Hyped? Okay, stick with hype. It is all we have until the season starts, I guess

Coop

I’ll gladly bet on a guy that was hyped by Jeff Grimes and Jordan Pendleton

Yep. It’s not like he showed poorly

It's funny that you mentioned Pitta - his career numbers vs Utah ...

Lets bookmark this and revisit TE production next season

Pitta didn't play against Utah one of those years too - Injured vs Air Force

He played against Utah all of those years; he recorded stats in every game

Pitta was a mismatch plenty, just not against most P5 teams

Coop

1/27/21 4:32pm

You forgot to include that he was a mismatch against most NFL teams as well. Or are they a notch below P5s?

Much of RB play is instinct and natural talent. Experience doesn't create as

Big improvement he has to make is catching the ball

How do you know it's something HE has to improve?
