Visions of Finley's perfectly-executed chip block where he flat out leveled a guy(it was someone pretty good too) last year pop up whenever i think of Finley blocking tho!

Unfortunately this play also showcases 1. Shady Oline blocking and 2. Donald's bad hands last year. Don't get me wrong, I heart DD but man did he drop some catchable balls last year. This year he'll make up for it though.

lol at that Finley clip. Barbre probably felt like a man when he got to hold down Ogunleye after getting constantly owned.

The way I was approaching this was that if a defense sees a typical 2 TE formation they would usually be thinking "run", while J. Finley being a part of the 2 TE formation would probably make them honor the pass more so than cheating up against the run. I also see this as helping Grant by putting more blocking talent on the field. Not taking anything away from our WR blocking (who I think are pretty good), but as mentioned above most of their blocks are going to be against lightweight DB's. Granted this is probably overly simplistic to people who actually know football, but a boy can dream, can't he?

Unless both TEs can run block, the two TE set does nothing except potentially put a weaker receiver in the lineup. With the depth we have at WR, would you want to have Nelson on the bench with Lee in as the second TE? If we can't sell the run with two TEs, then it isn't worth a darn thing imho.

Yea, plus Nelson is a pretty big receiver. Put him in the slot and have him get in someones way on running plays but keep him in there. Force the defense to put a nickelback in there trying to stop the run instead of a linebacker who Jordy will smoke every time.

I hear you but really, it just limits your offense. Unless your O-line is so horrible that they cant block anyone, it will limit your offense. If you have a really dominant o-line, it will work well if you want to be a ball controll type offense with some trickery in the play calling. But it makes you very predictable and easier to defend.

Something I'd like to see more of from either film last year or once the season starts this year is how well our TEs can come out of a 3 point stance on pass plays, and how quickly they can shed/avoid contact to get into the quick routes. We know Finley can lineup in the slot or outside standing up and be a huge receiving threat. For the TE to really make the defense question, they have to be able to come out of a 3 point stance most downs right off the tackle's hip and get into routes quickly, or be an effective blocker. If Finley can get a little more blocking attitude in him like a Jason Witten, then I think he is an unbelievable weapon in forcing the opposition to play a lot of base defense.

I remember seeing a ranking of our O-linemen. Fin was included in there and his ranking was near the top of our Line. I think he was around the third best lineman for blocking.
I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.

Finley will get better as a blocker and receiver, remember he came out early, didn't play a lot of college ball and is very young. He should be able to put on some good natural weight, 5-10 lbs can make a big difference, with maturity and S&C which, along with experience, will make him better, especially as a blocker. I think Quarless is more NFL ready. The only question, in my mind, is if he has truely learned his lesson and really dedicates himself. It seems like he has, time will tell.
