What do I need to fix? In 2 of those 4 games my TE did not even get 1 pass thrown his way. In the 1 game he actually caught something, he caught the only 2 passes that were thrown his way. No drops in any of the last 4 games.

Is there something wrong with his build? Is he not getting open because of agility? I think he has enough vision to find an open spot, but maybe I'm wrong.

Strength: 34.81 Blocking: 28.26
Speed: 61.68 Tackling: 13.83
Agility: 45.49 Throwing: 10
Jumping: 23.38 Catching: 39.44
Stamina: 33.14 Carrying: 23.07
Vision: 35.26 Kicking: 9
Confidence: 26.77 Punting: 10

SA's - 3 in route run, 3 in quick cut, 3 in sticky hands.

Don't get me wrong, the team won 3 of those 4 games and we're doing pretty well, so I'm happy. It just feels like my guy is doing nothing.

Agility could be it, but to be honest I've noticed that my TE seems to drop off the face of the earth when we aren't facing some of the better competition. I noticed that in the 3 wins your team handled them pretty easily. I think it has to do with the WR's getting open more easily.

Of course that could just be me making excuses

Well due to cruise control good teams will run the ball more if its a blow out..

When My team is playing freshly gutted teams.. My guy seems to lead the team in Pancakes that game... I don't even have good blocking skills whatsoever...

Get your agility and Vision up... Those are the keys to get open...

Thanks for the input guys. I was thinking agility too. Get it a little closer to the speed and see if that helps.

I'm not complaining at all, it's good to be on a team that's winning.

They may not even be targeting the TE that much, perhaps you should talk to your OC and see whats up? Just a suggestion, good luck.

Dont worry about how many receptions you get, but look at how many drops. It could just mean you have very good WRs, a running game, a defense that covers the TE well, or just not focused on you. Be worried if you are dropping a lot.

For the regular season he has 9 catches and 1 drop. If you include the scrimmage games, 17 catches and 2 drops. We do have some good WR's and we focus about 50/50 run/pass. Which in this game means you focus on the run since there are a ton of pass happy teams.

If you are a 50/50 team, and there are say 40 throws. You will probably only get about 4-5 you figured the Top3 WR will get 30 of those, and the other 10 will be between the TE, HB, and other WR's
