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.
