Chargers are very thin at TE and other than McKitty none of them are known for their blocking. I know that McKitty is an unpopular draft pick mostly because of where he was picked, but have you guys truly seen that he is not looking good in camp or preseason games? Or are you basing cutting him on him not lighting it up the last two preseason games? I saw a couple nice blocks and a nice catch of a crap throw against the 49ers, but that was all I could see. Both Cook and Parnham will make the team. Anderson is a scrappy guy that I like. But he is not much of a blocker, unless it is as a 'move blocker' which is why I thought Nabors made the team. Its why Virgil kept making the team -- in line blocking in today's TE is pretty crappy and rare. Steve will likely tell us the day of inline blocking TE's is really largely gone and he would not be wrong, but finding a TE like Henry who can both catch and do it fairly well is a very rare and valuable commodity. That is why I think McKitty gets some rope here.
