i dont hate egnew but there other players id have liked to draft in that round. seemed like a reach/need pick but i'm sure hell be fine. hardknocks really screwed the perception on him
Just don't like tight ends who are "body catchers" rather than hands catchers.
That to go along with Egnew's many flaws both mentally and physically. That's not to say he can't make it in time and make a complete 180 by working hard (like Bess and Bush do) and busting his arse lifting weights. but I'm not holding out hope for him. I just think it would take a major miracle to see Egnew perform for us next year as Charles Clay performed last year with that kind of ability
And Clay is not showing much this year after those very nice flashes last season. The NFL is a very tough game to master. You can't have your guard down and rest on your laurels (as we witnessed last year when the Dolphins went 0-7 to start the season coming in out of shape)
Campbell was the man on hard Knocks. Right now I'd rate him our 2nd TE. :)
player/coach ?
I am hopeful as well, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if Miami turned around and drafted a tight end pretty high in 2013. That was such a big part of the offense in GB and you have to figure Philibin wants a major upgrade to really make this offense go.Just don't like tight ends who are "body catchers" rather than hands catchers.

lol
Most people around here expect every draft pick to start right away or they're considered a bust.
Hell, for all we know this guy will never see the field. But FFS he's a third round draft pick. They don't always light the world on fire. Perspective, please.
