[BigOHawk]

I'm wondering if Mr. Higgins posts on this board? Seems there a few posters who have some great intel, keep it coming!
Hausmann/Teslaa/Anderson?

@Franisdaman what is the story with the injury? Timetable for return?

Looks like KF is fine with milking the portal to keep his son's butt firmly in the heir apparent's seat.

Who says we don't take advantage of the portal?

The 2021 and 2022 seasons.

I'm not sure I'd call landing Cade and Erick, two of the four Wolverine Captains "milking the portal". Perhaps the "gift from Heaven" has completed his evaluation and we are witnessing it unfold. Regardless, Erick All is a great addition and the topic of this thread.

It just depends on whether All can be a downfield threat the way Fant and Hockenson were. Lachey and LaPorta have been good, but they didn't take the top off the same way.

(Few tight ends do; that's why those guys went in the 1st round.)

A few things there ...

Our QB didn't consistently have the protection for longer TE routes to develop (or any longer routes to develop, for that matter).

Almost as a corollary to the prior point ... consequently, LaPorta spent a lot of time playing the role of a consistent outlet for the QB.

Lastly, this season was the first season where Lachey truly seemed to "step up."

Anyhow, if both Lachey and All are healthy and play to the level they're capable ... then they could prove to be quite an impressive TE duo!

All good

 

[Heathen Raider]

lots of 1 RB 2 TE Formations next Year or at least better be.

 

[Hawk_4shur]

Fant and Hockenson part 2?

You bet!

But, I'm already angry that the coaches won't give the right amount of playing time to the right guy because he plays favorites!

WTF is the issue?

I for one am really excited for All to join the Hawkeye family. Shame his family is getting harassed by Michigan fans for it. Welcome to the family and thanks for choosing the good guys.

I hadn't considered the pass protection angle for the tight ends. Good point.

That damn Kirk Ferentz is trying to win games instead of achieving the real key to success: firing coaches.

Yep, because no top 25 program has made changes to their coaching staff to improve the team, holistically.

However, even when Petras dropped it off to TE, he often threw it behind the TE, so we had no run after the catch action. This probably takes 5 yards off each time Petras made these throws. Therefore reducing the yards for the two good TEs.
