Geezy Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 signing didnt make any sense. Glad Moreau will see more time on the field in '21. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Back as a coach, I wonder? But year, glad he won’t be taking snaps from Moreau again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only way it makes sense to me is if they signed him as an insurance policy if Moreau's rehab took longer than expected. I think Moreau will be better than his rookie season though and provide a red zone threat that we really needed this past season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even then we had Carrier, but we all know Gru loves his TE's. I didnt mind Witten as a mentor, it only bugged me when it was clear Moreau was fine and still was taking a back seat to Old Man Witten. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really think Moreau is going to be a great player for us too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimkelly02 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 I said From the minute it happened the cost was way to high and he wouldn’t do much on the field. And he did even less than I expected... actually far less then I expected. I get bribing in mentors to help young guys, especially Waller, to learn professional and the fine points of being great..... but i Seriously doubt that any player can help vastly more than a coach. He should have just been Made Asst TE coach and saved us 3.5M and we played Moreau more. The loss of Frank Smith is a big big loss as far as positional coaches go. Hopefully we can replace him with a quality coach. Maybe its Witten, but if not there’s other options. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t explain why Witten continued to see more snaps when Moreau looked back to his best though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbsk Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Oh no, who are we going to use now on those painfully slow, utterly predictable TE screens on 3rd and long to gain those all important 2 yards?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucksavage1 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Greg Olsen retired too so Gruden wont be tempted to replace witten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raiders took Zach Miller a few picks later, a good TE. Miller has been out of the league since 2014. Amazes me how long some guys can go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
