Chiller eh. You mean the cat who said Gronk was a shitty blocker. And said LP has shitty hands, but makes crucial catches.

A) Paulsen's an above average blocker.
B) He has above average hands.

If anything, he's appears to be starting a habit of fumbling over his last 2 seasons. But shitty hands are not LP's problem.

Not sure what one has to do with another, Breed. You've said plenty of incorrect things yourself over the years.

Actually, what I said was that LP was the best blocking TE on the Redskins, who has below average hands, and the reason he has made any crucial catches at all is because defenses don't worry about him when he goes out for a pass. He's not fast, he's not agile, he's not quick twitch, he doesn't create separation, he's just a big dude who blocks well, and occasionally catches some balls. It really isn't that hard to understand.

As for the previous post on Gronk: I was genuinely surprised to read that Gronk is considered an above average blocker. The games I've watched of the Pats - admittedly not a ton - I see him being used for one purpose only - catching passes. And why would the Pats use him for much else? He's a matchup nightmare. They generally run two TE sets, and have for years when Gronk's been healthy. Generally speaking, Gronk is the pass catcher in those sets, and Chandler (this year), is the blocker.

Then again, Brady has a very quick release - something I also said in my previous post - and therefor doesn't need Gronk or anybody else to block for very long.

Because not every play is a pass play. When it is a pass play, Gronk goes out.

Huh? Isn't this exactly what I already said?

Gronk is a matchup nightmare who goes out on pass plays. Yes, right.

Is this connected to the original Logan Paulsen point (best Redskins TE blocker, hands of stone), or are you just restating something else?

I was stating that Gronk is a very good blocker. He isn't typically asked to pass protect because the best protection is him going out and getting double teamed.

Give us a hint? And if you say anything about Rancho Cucamongo I'll be pissed.

Its not skinswin. If it was, while he might've said something about me getting shit wrong plenty of times. No way could skinswin not say something about how right he thought, 90% according to him, he was all the damn time.

I'm thinking Duck or KickSave, but that could be me just projecting.

I've been meaning to write Kick to see if we can get him back here, he's not on KFFL either. My thought was Duck as well.
