We'll see if you know what you're talking about and doing this September. I personally think that the TE should have been added to our offense as play makers long before this season. When we look at some of Bama's best offensive teams that they've had, the TE's have made the biggest difference. I still have dreams of their TE's running free down field against us!!!

Not so much, but it does open doors for quick passes to the TE. No one should know better than I since I played TE and our OL always sucked.
I’m old so we ran a wishbone offense and the QB did a quick drop and pass to me. I wasn’t good, but I made up for it by being skinny and weak. That said, I was determined and the defense had no time to react so I caught the ball and was quick enough to get a few yards. I grew later and walked on but never really played.

I’ve never been a fan of you or your comments, but I can’t DV.
Your worshipped DC Venables was apparently unaware that the TE was an eligible receiver and that TE, OJ Howard, was by far the best TE in the nation and even so coming out of high school.
Venables did figure out that TEs were eligible the following year and the Tigers won it all and he was slowed down considerably. Howard was wide open in 2015 and that cost you the title. Howard had over 200 yards receiving and the last one was the back breaker.
OJ Howard was a 5 star and a later first round pick and he was left open by Venables. I was never the fan of Venables like y’all were and I was right because he stole recruits and coaches when he left and that’s low class.
I personally know one guy that was cussed out on the phone by Venables for choosing another school after the kid had the balls to call Venables and tell him that he was going elsewhere. My other connections told me more stories about his lack of character as well.
He’s not a Clemson or a Dabo sort of guy if you asked me, which you didn’t. Dabo is all class and Venables is all A$*

Hope Jake has a stellar year. If he does, it won’t have anything to do with his position coach.

Why do you say that? Coach Richardson is entering his 2nd year as our TE coach, and last year he showed up big time in more than one game. If we can get more TE production in more than just a few games, then our offense will thrive. The few games they let Brinni and Davis run open they blew up, and those games ended up being our best games all around. But you say if they do good it's not on the position coach? Get out of here and hit the road to Cola if that's how you really feel, Coach Richardson has already made a difference in year one with DJ at the helm. Imagine it with a better more mobile QB!

Totally agree and that was a strange comment about the coach.
For the second year in a row you’ll have a TE heading for the NFL and he probably sticks around a while. The coach is too new to have made a difference with Davis very much, but Jake will maybe be better this season. If not, then possibly blame a coach. But, right now it’s way too soon to point fingers at a position coach.
My Longhorns hired the DC from Washington two years ago and everyone was all excited. By the first game, these same people were calling for his head. That lasted up until part way through his second season and the defense showed clear improvement. Improvements were actually evident in the Alabama game when we shut down their Heisman QB, but fans are slow learners, apparently, and it was maybe a few games later before the whining ceased.
The LB coach was also new and his players got better as the coaches second season progressed.
But, sometimes, the blame lies on a player and not his coach. Our QB, Ewers looked terrible last year. Word had it he got serious after last season and he cut off his clown hair mullet and shaved and became a man and stepped up as a leader. We lost our bowl game, still, but he looked much better and hit a wide open receiver that dropped the perfect throw. That play would have changed everything, but it is what it is. In the spring game Ewers looked like a completely different QB.
That was some coaching, but also the player stepped up and grew up.

Asking here, because I really don’t know.
How much responsibility resides with the TE coach about the nuances of blocking?
Richardson arrived with an existing blocking beast (Davis) and a true soph blocking matador (Brinningstool). To be sure, Davis had a better blocker body when he arrived, and had 3 years to become a finished product as far as a blocker. Brinningstool was a receiver in a very tall lean body; by athleticism and playing against typical HS body type defenders, he was probably good enough as a HS blocker to not be a glaring liability. Brinningstool of course had 1 year at Clemson to learn what blocking in college was about.
Davis improved on his already outstanding blocking performance during Richardson’s first year, going from VERY good to great.
Brinningstool improved a bit in blocking from downright embarrassing to just bad.
What I’ve observed is that Davis already had blocking acumen before Richardson arrived. Brinningstool didn’t block at all I’m 2021 before Richardson arrived.
(?). Is it the TE coach’s job to teach not just who to block in selected plays and situations, but also nuances of blocking (get to the correct spot, position your body when reaching that spot to have best chance of success, endeavor block ‘out’ on some plays and ‘in’ on others, etc)? Does the OL coach provide assistance to other position coaches (WR, RB, TE) about blocking techniques?
Thanks.

We've lauded the athletic prowess of our TE's all the way back since Leggett. There should be a rule about no more posting about how great our OL or TE are until they actually do something
