    Does the loss of Da'Rick make our weakness at the TE position even more of a problem? I don't see a legitimate #3 receiving option right now other than Rivera, which means he may be a Dallas Clarkish glorified wide receiver. If so, who will be our blocker at the position?

    He wasn't going to block much anyways because that's his biggest weakness. Clear was the best blocking TE of the group and that's shot all to hell anyways.

    Bartholomew is probably going to play a lot of snaps Friday night, because he'll be the "blocking" TE and the FB.

    Rivera is going to be moved around a lot.

    Any word on how Greg King is doing? I'd assume he's pretty rusty, but he's a guy I'd like to see do well.

    Wildcat and pass catcher imo.

    I actually think, especially if the run game doesn't get going, he'll play a large role in the offense. This is just an assumption by me.

    I'd love to have an athletic bruiser, a la Mose Phillips style, running around, catching passes, mocking Florida.

    As long as he tells me what time it is when he scores, I'll be happy

    Da'Cody will be used to block on the outside a lot.

    Is Jo Ayres still banged up? I figured they were hoping he would be the blocking TE we needed.

    I really don't want a walk-on DT converted to TE being the anything on offense.

    He started off on the OL fwiw. If he'll be nasty in short yardage situations I'll take it.

    Palermo and Sal praised his willingness to get into the trenches and raise hell. Sounds like a winner. Joseph Ayres it is.

    Going in I thought out TEs would be a big surprise for our offensive output. Wondering now if it doesn't become a problem.

    The staff thought enough of him to leave him in Knoxville and not travel with the team.
