Tight End Situation

[Darrell Green Fan]

Their must be a blocking TE's on the free agent market that we could pick up.

That's what I keep thinking, how hard can it be to find a blocking TE? Problem is they also need a receiving TE with Reed's injury history. The Paul loss was a big deal, they need to address this next offseason.

Agreed about next season, however there's still a chance that SM will see someone on the waiver wires that he's had an eye on.

gotta at least bring Cooley in for workouts and kick the tires a little bit he is the same age as Jason Witten of the Cowboys this would only be a stopgap until we can solve the problem in next years draft

 

[Caliskinsfan]

We know it's not Vernon Davis...

Cant be Cooley for us as explained a few times already. Cooley could ONLY play for another team because he works for The Skins.


This part is hilarious...

Q: With the TE news in Washington, do you think any of our TE get traded there?

Ans: Washington has lost two tight ends (both of whom were expected to make the 53-man roster) for the season while Jacksonville's Julius Thomas has a hand injury that could linger into the regular season. Meanwhile, the 49ers' Trent Baalke has a surplus at the position -- eight healthy tight ends plus a longsnapper, Kyle Nelson, who showed last preseason that he could play the tight end position in a pinch.

But that overstock is a double-edged sword. The league's other general managers know that Baalke is not going to keep eight tight ends on his 53-man squad and will have to waive half of them at some point before the season. Someone like Washington GM Scot McCloughan, who loves to keep his draft picks and who has a high pick in the waiver system, could just sit back and wait to get one for free.

Washington has one starter-caliber tight end, Jordan Reed, who is ready to return to practice after dealing with a hamstring strain. Reed has been nicked a lot during his career. If that happens again, McCloughan could be more desperate to work a deal. I highly doubt that Vernon Davis -- even though he is from Washington, D.C. and played nearby at Maryland -- would be part of a trade (Dan Snyder would be for it; McCloughan against it). But I wonder if Vance McDonald is obtainable.

OK so seeing as how Cooley is ruled out due to a 50 year old rule. Looks like we are going to ride with the young guys unless some one shakes loose. I do like the idea of Compton being cross trained as a blocking TE. Drop 945 lbs of mass on the right side of the line and run a power dive to that side on 1st and goal... With Morris or Jones behind that.. I like our odds of scoring.

 

[Darrell Green Fan]

Yeah keep the young guys, pick up whomever they like from the Niner's cuts and activate once they are up to speed on the offensive. For God's sake Jason Reed stay healthy for once.
