alnog with another TE that I did not recognize the name.

Additional clarification of Marvin's comments that I missed:

"Practice squad tight end Ronnie Ghent has been put on season-ending injured reserve with a broken bone in his foot and two young tight ends have been added to the squad in Oregon’s Tim Day and USC’s Gregg Guenther.. "

Tim Day is not a good blocker

on the contrary.....my information indicates that Tim day is a *balanced* TE, with solidly good receiving and blocking skills, plus a lot of athleticism

example: http://www.nflfans.com/x/2006/showplayer.php?key=Tim%20Day

did 26 reps on his pro day

He wasn't one of my top choices as a draftable TE this year, but I think he can make this particular squad.

Tim Day :sure::cheers::P he was one of the UDFA I wanted so I say good deal.

As for Kelly and stewart getting te job done,let's see them do it in more then 1 game before we say that.

Because we thought our defense had turned it on too vs the panters. I still remember plenty of games of them dropping passes or making total of 3 yards when you needed 8.

PS,Stewart is also a FA after this year.

Being 6'8" is acutally a liabilty when you are blocking. It is hard to get lower than the defender if you are too tall.

As for Kelly and Stewart being able to do it all season... they've actually been consistent this year... and have both already exceeded last years production. It hasn't been just one game.

Kelly had 15 catches for 90 yards the entire season last year... this year he's had 8 catches for 112 yards. Tony Stewart had 4 catches for 26 yards last year, and this year has had 8 catches for 68 yards.

Now we might not be talking elite TE numbers here... but they've really picked up the slack from the injuries to our WR's and RB's. When we are healthy, they get fewer looks.

This indicates to me that we don't need to draft an "elite" TE, or need to hope that Tim Day is a steal. It's just not a huge need on this team. We have guys who don't feel like they need to be a huge factor in the passing game, but are available when we need them.

P.S. Kelly will be back. We can re-sign him for cheap.

Tim Day doesn't impress me... I'd rather bring up Ghent next year.

I called for them to bring up Ghent during the bye. Oh well.

As for Day, he is a hell of a prospect. His receiving skills aren't in doubt, and he's wily enough to make things happen. He's an under-rated blocker. The $64k question is whether he has "Matthais Askew" disease, i.e. a lack of fire in the belly.

Day is an excellent prospect. He gets separation on routes and catching everything. I thought he blocked well enough in college to make him one of the more complete TEs coming out last year. Gotta wonder what's his rub to get bounced by the Bears, though, and maybe it's as simple as lacking the necessary motivation to play every play like it's his last. Hopefully, that's what he'll get in Zinzinnati. Looks like he could be 1 injury away from finding his way on the field, so he or Guenther better learn quick.
