Not a bad bit of blocking from our TE

antdog24 : 11/20/2017 10:30 am
Engram is more than just a big WR playing TE.

There was a thread yesterday

wherein a poster called his blocking "very poor."

Several people including myself jumped on it as inaccurate and lazy analysis.

Beyond his production on the field, he seems to be a GREAT locker room guy. He has been a fantastic silver lining this season.
Saw this last week

Very happy so far! I love the way he gets to the second level.

He has done a good job at everything. Give some credit to the coaches, too.

Engram plays with passion. I think he really likes playing football.
Good player

A real football player who doesn't have the size to be a good in line blocker but is more then adequate because of desire.
he's a TE, and he will get better because he's willing and

Just like a lot of guys on our offensive line have been. With that 4.4 speed (at 235-240), he can be a MONSTER wide receiver like Calvin Johnson who is 6'5", 239 (4.35 forty)

Good player but not a complete TE

Just a big WR, who good CBs will take away. If he starts blocking then we have something here. Like him a lot. Great potential.Good pick JR .

Nonsense. He has plenty of size to block many DEs. He'll get stronger and more importantly is learning proper technique and desire. If he wants to block, he will block. Jason Witten wasn't a great blocker early, but is now one of the best.
Engram will get it and he will be serviceable at worst. He is a gamer.
Thanks for sharing this.

Exciting player with a bright future. Everyone knew and can now see his pass-catching ability, but his work to develop himself as a blocking TE is showing as well.
Took a long while but they finally

...by being forced by injuries, no dought, staff doesn't deserve much credit, found some roster players to make the next draft more achievable.

Jones, King, Lewis, Wheeler.

That helps come Spring.
Fluker also  
idiotsavant : 11/20/2017 5:18 pm : link
Even drafting two guards high. Fluker on a short contract.
