Charles Clay Enters 2014 NFL Season as League's Best Secret Weapon

[DKphin]

The 6'3", 245-pounder is not the big-bodied in-line blocking tight end of traditional offenses of old, but he's such a matchup problem for defenses that his value in the passing game more than makes up for his lack of contributions in the running game. As it turns out, the Dolphins offense will be anything but traditional in 2014. Where things were a bit more old school under former offensive coordinator Mike Sherman, the arrival of new coordinator Bill Lazor (transplanted from the Philadelphia Eagles) could mean big things for the "move" tight end, who could make a bigger impact when given the opportunity to move around the offense even more than he has in the past, including in pre-snap motion.
Tight ends were a big component of the Eagles offense in 2013, which further bodes well for Clay's prospects in 2014.

I'm not sure he's much of a "secret" weapon. Didn't Kuechly say their main gameplan was to "stop 42" when he did that top 100 interview? I'd say most teams realize that Clay is really one of our only weapons and is the guy they need to key on. Wallace will get his catches and his drops, teams will let Hartline attempt to get off corners 1v1 and make tough catches until he and Tannehill can't connect on 3rd down, Lamar Miller doesn't really scare anyone, and I don't think anybody will key on Landry until he proves himself.

Gator Hoskins will be the "secret" weapon. They'll plan to stop Clay but what will they do when we have TWO Clays out there.
