Warrior General Games

it seems that over the last two seasons the my TE drops more than he catchs.... hes had more drops this season and last season than the other 6+ seasons combined. any suggestions? im spending all my training on catching and jumping.

All of us with TE's are having the same problem. Usually what is happening is it getting knocked loose. The Jackhammer VA is popular with the LB and that is who normally picks up the TE. Where is your carrying attribute?

You'd have to tell us your other attributes, mainly Str, Catch and Vision.

Personally I think agility and vision are going to become more and more valuable with TEs as the game progresses. Since throws are no longer as precise as they were, receivers are going to have to work harder to adjust as the ball is in the air and get into a good catching position while still being open.

Given the size difference between TEs and WRs I think it makes sense that TEs are having a harder time with this.

Just my two cents. My two TEs are low levelled so its hard for me to really tell for sure but its something worth keeping an eye on in my opinion.

Its funny to me as my drops are way down this season. Had 8 last year and only 1 so far this year.

Drops are way up for me, but I think it really depends on the LB that was covering my TE.

Some cannot force a drop while some are able to force a drop everytime they hit me right after the catch.

Some builds are way too effective at this IMO.

I've been consistant at 20% drops the last two seasons. I had much fewer drops prior to that.
Current stats are Carry 50+, Vision/Catching 60+, str 80+, agi65+ with some sticky hands.

So, I don't think its really a build issue that is based on one attribute. Both of my drops today were caused by a 224 lb SS that likely had jacked up ballhawk/jackhammer. Not much you can do on that. I think WR's are dealing with weak CBs while the LB's/SS that are on the TE's are just much better built for breaking up passes.

^^with your set of stats a ball getting knocked loose should very rarely happen IMO

Jackhammer is broken right now... seems like on some players it doesn't work at all while on others it's too effective.

Bort should adjust the formula for balls getting knocked loose.

id like to see there be so type of adjustment.... either add an attribute to help a TE or make some type of system adjustment.... the % of balls we get vs. a WR and add in the drops doesn't seem to be balanced to me. i asked several season ago for there to be something in the tactics for us TE's but was told there wasnt anything in the works but may revisit it later... may itll happen this offseason....

for now i will be working on my carrying to see if that makes a difference.... ill keep you all posted.

here is a look at my full season stats..

now that is a drastic change in drops! seasons 7-9 Kain was on the same team with no major changes to the roster.
