This pickup just keeps looking better and better. Hopefully his blocking is at least as good as his catching.

Solid pickup. Won't miss a beat when Jimmy is out, and can attack with a 2 TE set.

Another wrinkle for this offense.

Yeh, Ben is a great pickup. Does everything well.

Wow, great find! Our offense may look a lot like the Patsys of the last couple of years with not one but 2 TEs no one can account for. Having Colston and L-Mo on top of that makes us far more dangerous than the Patsys as well.

Still nervous over LT and a pass rusher (especially now that Coach says he is as well), but sure liking what we've done so far.

Has anyone found any highlights on him besides that play against champ bailey?

I hope this guy gets to see some playing time even if Graham is healthy.

Seeing your profile pic, Pdlc, I can totally hear Sean Payton's voice saying,

Yeh, Ben is a great pickup. Does everything well.

82 Targets, 49 Recs, only 2 drops? 31 passes were off target!

Imagine what his stats would have been if he didn't have Cleveland's QBs throwing to him?

Sean Payton is back. The Master of Mismatches.

Of course Watson will be on the field with and without a healthy Graham.

great pickup .. I've been a fan since his New England days

He will. Payton's new toy.

Ben Watson is about as good of a backup TE as you could ask for. He fits our play style and he'll add another threat to the passing game. He's not a great blocker but he will do wonders for our double tight end looks.

I love the addition

excited......i honestly see us winning a superbowl this season and thats just not the homer in me speaking

 

[chameleonknight]

I'm amazed we signed this guy. I'm guessing he has seen how accurate Drew Brees can be and figures he will likely do very well in our offense.

Because he likely is talented enough to get a shot at starting somewhere else; wise move on his part to hook up with a top notch offense instead, less pressure.

He absolutely will. We run many 2-tight end sets. And both of our tight ends can split out wide if necessary. That is a HUGE advantage.
