Expect the Tight Ends to be More Involved in the Passing Game this Season

As fans, we always wanted to see the ball get into the hands of CJ Conrad after seeing how great he was at tight end, but in hindsight, with a generational running back in Benny Snell and Conrad’s ability to block, it makes sense that he wasn’t used in the passing game as much as we hoped.

In a year where AJ Rose can be effective as a receiving back, the coaches believe Terry Wilson will throw the ball 40 times a game, and with Lynn Bowden being the only receiver with significant playing time; there’s going to be no choice but to use the tight ends more often in this year’s offense.
