Is It Time To Bring Back Gates?

[chargeroo]

No Gates. I think Kendricks is going to be a good addition. I don't know how he rates as a blocker, but as a receiver he is far superior to Green or Culkin. I assume he will remain on the roster in place of Culkin. I don't know if that hurts the run game, but it will help the passing game. When Henry returns, we actually have two TE's who are receiving threats. Been awhile since this team has had that.

Winslow and Hoolihan? :woot:

He's ready any time apparently....

Also worth noting. Feel really bad for Culkin.

Really like that guy. He's a hard worker and seems like a good dude. I was so excited he got a catch, and then how he fell... I actually thought it was an ankle at first.

We need at least 2 TE's in our offensive system especially considering we are having injury issues with WRs. Gates at least is a stopgap to give us time for Virgil and Culkin to recover. I can't see not grabbing someone and no other TE is going to know the system like Gates....he's kind of ideal IF we got into this situation. He may not be what he was but he knows the role and can come in for snaps and contribute more than a raw TE from off the street.

Only other thought is putting Gordon and Ek together and creating some mismatches, however where we will have issues is teams that blitz and try to take out Rivers. A good TE on the line is harder to replace for protection IMO.

How many TE's do we have to lose to injury before calling Gates? The football gods are demanding it. For the love of all that's good and holy, call Gates. If for no reason other than to save the remaining TE's we have from season ending injury. It won't stop

Winslow and Hoolihan? :woot:

lol That is the way back machine. I was thinking of a more recent duo - Gates and Ladarius Green. Remember when he was going to edge out the Gates' era? He was a decent compliment to Gates, but was never going to be a top TE in the league. At least the Bolts knew that. But Pittsburgh thought differently and threw a bunch of money at him, and he didn't even last a season. :rofl:

[foreigner]

yes, lets bring him back.

Winslow and Hoolihan? :woot:
