EDTShareTweetShareShareThe evolution of the Falcons TE position, 2008-2018 The Falcons have had franchise greats at quarterback and wide receiver more or less continuously from 2008-2018, and the picture has been pretty similar at running back, with only an injury-marred 2018 and the Steven Jackson years messing that up. It has been a historic run of savviness and good fortune at those positions, I’d say, which makes the positions where that hasn’t happened seem a little...lacking.The good news with tight end is that the Falcons did have a Hall of Famer holding down the position for five seasons in the last decade-plus, and Tony Gonzalez was on hand for some of the better teams of the era. The bad news is that until Austin Hooper hit his stride in 2017 and then really blossomed in 2018, the picture at tight end outside of gonzo has been...bleak. Let’s take a closer look. Falcons TE Evolution YearTE1TE2TE3TE4YearTE1TE2TE3TE4A little background: The Falcons cobbled together a tight end depth chart in Matt Ryan’s rookie season that consisted of blocking TE Ben Hartsock, surprisingly capable receiving option Justin Peelle, and a couple of dudes. That proved to be wholly unsatisfying for the team’s brass, who went out and got Ryan a dream security blanket in Gonzalez. While Gonzo was in town, the Falcons largely elected to back him up with capable role players like Peelle Riley Ridley Chicago Bears Jerseys , the immortal Michael Palmer, and a rookie Levine Toilolo. As long as those guys could block, something Gonzo wasn’t known for, the offense tended to hum along just fine. Gonzalez set every major mark for a tight end playing for the Falcons, he was an integral part of a 13-3 2010 team, playoff squad in 2011, and the so-close-it-hurts 2012 Falcons, and the addition of the 6’8” Toilolo and his imagined red zone ability and blocking acumen figured to set the Falcons up nicely as Gonzalez transitioned out of town in 2013.Of course, 2013 was a disaster for any number of reasons, but simply put the tight end position turned from a relative strength into an active liability pretty quickly. Toilolo was, like fellow Falcons Kroy Biermann, Paul Worrilow, and Harry Douglas, a capable and even terrific role player who did a couple of things very well but was stretched as a starter, and that receiving ability really only materialized in brief spurts along the way. The team’s other additions to the depth chart Chicago Bears Jerseys Stitched , like pure blocker Bear Pascoe and lead-footed non-blocker Jacob Tamme, were also useful players but not excellent ones, and as a result the tight end position was somewhere between a major problem and so-so group from late 2013 through 2016.Happily, the arrival of Austin Hooper largely changed that. Hoop went through a pretty quiet rookie year in 2016 as he adjusted to the NFL, but he emerged as a rock solid receiver and blocker in 2017 and was one of the league’s better tight ends in 2018. As he’s only 24 years old at the moment, it’s probably reasonable to expect even better (or at least 2018 comparable) seasons ahead of him, which makes tight end a position of relative strength again. The team has done a good job of adding blockers with a little bit of receiving ability (Logan Paulsen and now Luke Stocker come to mind), and Eric Saubert looks like he still has some untapped upside heading into the 2019 season. Hooper’s not Gonzalez as a receiver—no one is or is particularly likely to be, especially not know that Rob Gronkowski has retired—but he’s very good and tight end looks like a capable position grouping once more.The Falcons haven’t really, I’d argue, built toward a cohesive identity at the position until very recently, with Gonzalz serving as a Canton-bound BandAid as they cycled through reserves and tried to figured out ideal roles. Whether tight end will be great in 2019 and beyond depends largely on Hooper and whether Saubert can prove to be the kind of intriguing reserve he looked to be back when he arrived in 2017, but at least the arrow is pointing up.Next up will be tackle, which has...certainly evolved. CHICAGO (AP) — AJ McCarron couldn’t remember having this much fun at any level of football.Trailing by five in the closing minutes, he told his teammates they were going to pull out the win and it would be a “legendary” moment for them.McCarron delivered in the end after struggling for most of the game Riley Ridley Jersey 2019 , leading a fourth-quarter surge that culminated with a touchdown pass in the final minute, and the Buffalo Bills closed the preseason with a 28-27 victory over the Chicago Bears on Thursday night.With both teams holding out their starters and few key reserves playing, the focus was on McCarron. For most of the game, he made a shaky case for a roster spot let alone a starting job, but he did come through down the stretch.He ran for a touchdown and threw for three more in the fourth — including a 6-yarder to Keith Towbridge in the closing minute. That capped an 84-yard drive that was aided by two roughing-the-passer calls, including one against Isaiah Irving on a fourth down at the Buffalo 3.“I looked at the group and told them, ‘Watch this, it’s gonna be legendary,'” McCarron said. “First, I said, ‘Watch this, we’re gonna go down and win and you’re gonna remember this for a long time so this is gonna be legendary — for us and for our group, not knowing who’s (gonna be) here tomorrow.’ … It was just awesome to battle with them and probably the most fun I’ve ever had.”McCarron was 13 of 34 for 156 yards and had an interception returned for a touchdown in the early going. He could be the odd man out if the Bills opt to go with two quarterbacks rather than three, though coach Sean McDermott insisted he is “absolutely” in the race for the starting job with first-round pick Josh Allen and returning backup Nathan Peterman.He also said he has not decided who will start the opener at Baltimore on Sept. 9.CASE TO STAYTyler Bray made a case for the Bears to keep three quarterbacks. With Mitchell Trubisky and backup Chase Daniel not playing, Bray was 19 of 29 for 180 yards and an interception. Ryan Nall ran for 79 yards Womens Riley Ridley Jersey , including a 32-yard touchdown.“I like where we’re at,” said Bears coach Matt Nagy, in his first season. “We’ve got a lot of depth and we’re going to have some tough decisions here coming up.”Signed to a two-year deal in free agency after spending the past four seasons as Andy Dalton’s backup in Cincinnati, McCarron was considered the initial front-runner for the Bills’ starting job because he had more experience than Allen and returning backup Peterman.But he missed a little over a week after he bruised his right shoulder while being hit several times at Cleveland on Aug. 17. That injury along with his performance seemed to knock him out of the running for the starting job. It also raised questions about whether he will make the opening roster.But McCarron said he has “no clue” where he stands in the competition or if he’ll make the roster.“I understand you all want to talk about the QB competition, but I’m enjoying the game,” he said.SLOW STARTMcCarron got off to a brutal start, throwing for just 39 yards and getting picked off twice in the first half.His troubles really began after Cody Parkey kicked a 47-yard field goal on Chicago’s first possession.Moments later, McCarron threw a pass right to the Bears’ Doran Grant along the sideline, resulting in a 33-yard touchdown return . And just like that, it was 10-0.Parkey added a 23-yard field goal midway through the second quarter. Nall made it 20-0 with just under two minutes left in the half with his 32-yard TD run up the right sideline, though the Bears missed another opportunity in the closing seconds after McCarron got picked off again.Chicago’s Abdullah Anderson tipped a pass at the line, leading to an interception for John Timu. But Parkey’s 39-yard attempt hit the right upright.NATIONAL ANTHEMThere were no protests by either team during the anthem.INJURIESBills: WR Ray McCloud III suffered a knee injury.Bears: TE Daniel Brown suffered a shoulder injury on a 27-yard catch in the third and left the game. Nagy said he’s not sure if it’s “day by day or week by week.” … LB Kasim Edebali was helped off the field and taken from the sideline on a cart with a bruised leg after a run by Buffalo on the first play of the fourth quarter.NEXT UPBills: Open season at Baltimore on Sept. 9.Bears: Open season at Green Bay on Sept. 9.
