Looks like he is turning into one hell of a TE in the NFL already Cincy78. I know you had your doubts about him being much of a threat in the passing game at the NFL level, but it looks like he is doing everything right so far.

meanwhile they said Irv jr. couldn't stay on the field and whadayaknow? He can't

the missing piece to our offense, lol

Wouldn't matter...after a week where they targeted the middle...Burrow is getting buried with zero routes being run across the middle - which is WIDE OPEN with no defenders...

Doing a really good job. I think my concerns were valid, but he's showing he's got a lot more to his game. I would have kicked the tires on him, but only if he had fallen to the 3rd round or with some kind of trade.

I think Tanner Hudson is probably our best option on this offense. He made a really nice run after catch yesterday and he looks like he has some skills that could be used.

I also think that Drew Sample is better than he is given credit for.... He's not a great pass catcher, but when he is in the game, our blocking is much better. If they don't want the statue of Burrow to be continuously killed, they should leave him back there with him more often.

Sam was the most talented pass catching TE we have had at Iowa since Dallas Clark ( which is saying a lot considering his many great vTEs we've had )

He's not quite the blocker Kittle is but he's very good

Likely would've been a top 15 pick if Iowa knew how to recruit a QB

I think a few of us had him in our mock drafts. Bengals scouts don't have the internet though, they are still dialing people up on blackberries.

Game Thread: - Week 5

Young picked again. Leave him in, want to see if CAR can f*** up back-to-back #1's. He is struggling to read defenses so far
