Lol, but he makes Sean look tiny.What an awkward proposal picture.
"Formationing" lol.Pretty sure I can speak for Nick on this one. Take this quote by Bill Belicheck:
Rob Gronkowski, Football's Brainiest Tight End | The MMQB with Peter King
His point is... it isn't necessarily the "player" Josh Hill, that will diversify the offense, it's what he (and Hooman also) brings to the table as a TE. They both present run/pass threats. 12 personnel (one back, two TEs) forces the defense to make a decision: Do you respond with base (and risk the pass) or respond with nickel (and risk the run).
Currently with Manhertz, has absolutely no threat as a pass catcher (Nick mentioned this). Fleener poses no threat as a blocker. Hill's injury is why you've seen us use another offensive lineman as the TE more recently because having that extra OL in there is the same "philosophically and formationally" as Manhertz.
TEs dictate defensive formations and diversify offensive concepts. With two one-dimensional TE's, we're basically tipping our hand to the defense (which is half the battle).
Hope this helps.
Josh Hill is the cog that holds everything together. Wake up people!
I didn't even know he was injured and I rarely notice when he plays.

Yes. The article isn't about the player at all. It's about the limitations the team has faced formationally and how getting another tight end will open up the playbook.
Not sure Hill is that much of a difference maker.
