I think this is a good extension. It was obvious he was in their long term plans given what they gave up for him at the deadline last year. Hock’s actually a pretty subpar blocker, tbh. I guess better than you’d expect out of Kelce/Waller/Andrews? Not like a Goedert, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Interesting move.... But is he better than Kelce, Kittle or Andrews? I would say no, and when healthy Kyle Pitts is better than he is as well. As a complete TE could argue Dallas Goedert is better than him as well because he is a hell of a blocker. So that would be possibly 5 TEs better than him and he being the highest paid currently. Great for him to have that career year last season that is for sure, now we will see if he can keep it up. They got a lot of help at TE around him with Oliver the best blocking TE in the league arguably and Muse who had a great preseason and Mundt who is solid. They do not have any real physical WR but Hockenson makes up for that along with the other TEs potentially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he certainly isn't a better NFL TE than Hockenson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since we split every year, this isn't the worst thing to happen lol JJ put up large numbers against GB when the idiotic DC decided to play zone only. It wasn't until mid year last year, or a little later, when he started letting JA play man on man against the other team's #1. I was holding my breath on that one, but JA locked down JJ big time. I hope we see more of that 1:1 matchup for years to come. It's fun watching two of the NFL's best square off against each other twice a year. And make no mistake, those two I referenced are elite at their positions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexander was in primary coverage on Jefferson in 12 snaps in Week 1. The wideout earned zero targets on those plays, per Next Gen Stats.

Darren Waller - not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so sure about that, he is only going on his 3rd year and last year he was hurt and or had some pretty crap QB play honestly. Might be the case again this year but who knows, with Matt Ryan as a rookie he ripped it up. Hockenson has had Matt Stafford and Jared Goff that half year then Kirk Cousins. Think Kyle Pitts would not be better playing with those QBs? Yeah he would. And that year he had over 1000 yards receiving, that team had no real weapons outside of him and maybe Calvin Ridley and Ridley only played 5 games.
