Feeling a little better about losing Kittle because I realized we still have this guy. They only go to Juice occasionally and as we saw today when he's asked to do more he can deliver. Juice and Tonges is more than a formidable duo of quasi-TE players.
Good post.
Juice has always been a below-the-radar guy, doing the dirty work but getting little praise. Yet, when he has been used in the pattern, he has produced. That one catch over the middle on a back shoulder throw from Purdy was just sick. Two guys doing work. Purdy put it on the back shoulder to keep Juice from taking a big hit from the DB, and Juice made a tough, sure-handed catch.
The cool thing is that Kittle contributed very little prior to his injury. Juice did a lot of Kittle stuff, and along with Tonges, kept the wheels turning.
More please.
