That's a lot of TE shuffling. I wonder what we'll see on the field.
Yeah, Rader just takes Gentry's spot on the roster, and probably won't get a hat on gameday... same as Gentry.
McDonald, Ebron and Hawkins for the BIG PKGE.
I know Kevin Rader made some spectacular catch in college, game winner or something, but can he run block? I've looked but don't find much written about what he brings to the table. With McDonald back and Ebron being such a BigBen favorite lately, any chance Rader comes in to be the extra blocker over Hawkins this week?
That's kinda what I was asking there. Rader also gives the option of block/release where Hawkins probably doesn't(don't know). As SM mentioned, why bother if he's there as a 3rd TE but not even getting a helmet? Can't even play ST without a helmet. I honestly don't know the guy but he keeps making the PS/Roster, gets cut/brought back, he offers something. Right?
Sure, he offers a warm body if anything should happen to Ebron or McDonald...
But if both are good to go on game day, I think they prefer to have the extra RB/FB/ST with Watt and Hawkins as the 3rd TE who is also the backup RT.
More versatility.
Gentry did't get a hat either until McDonald was unavailable.
