Clay, a sixth-round pick out of Tulsa, might normally be freaking out from this identity crisis had he not been dealing with these questions throughout his career. Is he a tight end? A fullback? A blocker? A runner? A receiver?​


Put simply, he’s the future — a hybrid weapon on offense who can line up anywhere from the backfield to the slot. As a result, he’s been cramming into the early mornings lately to make sure he understands as many of his potential positions as possible.

Clay’s position, which could ultimately replace the fullback, is called an H-back. And actually, it isn’t a new position at all. You’ve heard it used to reference players like Dallas Clark and Chris Cooley, even if neither one is quite as pure of an H-back as players such as Clay or Hernandez. Both of the latter could be taking this role to new places.​

i thought polite was the past as well til i saw how much he lined up in the backfield with the ones in the panthers game...he started and played a ton lead blocking for reggie bush and thomas
 
I hope the Dolphins find room for both Polite and Clay on this team because when the fish were in short yardage and needed a few yards, he always seemed to get the first down.
 
With no legitimate #2 tight end, the Fins are definitely keeping both. On 3rd down n 8, you want Clay. On 2nd n 1, you absolutely want Polite.

Or maybe Charles Clay is to the future what David Martin/Nalbone is/was to the past
 
I think we should keep Polite too. He will help in the power run game a lot, and even though we apparanly suck, we do have a pretty damn big offensive line so lets get the most out of it.
 
I don't know I thought the pick was right for the spot but Politte isnt that old.

I think that people who understand football understand that we are far from sucking. You see the light, I do too. We are on the right track, amassing the right talent..

My guess is we keep Polite and Clay and only two TEs since Clay can be used as a 3rd TE. So it will be Fasano and one of Shuler/Epps/Mastrud/Brackett.
 
Cann't show the Pats everything in preseason.

I'll bet they have some interesting packages with Clay shifting all over the place.
 
Have no clue what clay is , we havent seen enough from him.
