8 Catches on 28 Targets through 11 games (with me as the OC, though obv moved away from targetting him after the first few games).

Best I can tell, he sucks from a combination of...
(A) A 225lb TE is not nearly as fast as a 175lb WR, negating the "all-out-speed" strategy
(B) On passing downs regularly gets covered by much lighter CB's, so he doesn't have enough of a speed advantage to actually separate
(C) Going so hard on speed on a 5-major dot makes the rest of the build pretty rough


But other thoughts are welcome if anyone has any?

waste going over 10/11 on SA's

Low agility/vision

No Juke

No double up on Fake % (using AE on SA's for a TE is a waste)

This is absolutely and completely not true. People extrapolating and misinterpreting Bort quotes from s6 is not effective.

There are WL MVP dots that have been HIGH in specific SA's.

There are also WL-leading receivers that have been juke-less, so not taking this as the reason. Though I agree perhaps juke would have helped this clearly horrible dot be less horrible.

correlation =/= causation

but whatever floats your boat

whatever you think works best

HOOD TE's have a much higher catch/target ratio

I would guess that being a tagged TE makes life much harder than a WR also

I just watched a few replays, and I believe all the other stuff you said was correct. You don't get separation on deep throws. Most of your catches come on short routes with sharp cuts.

Bort, time to 4 major the TEs, it's official.

That would honestly be a nightmare for DC's that struggle vs TE as-is.

Bort seemed ready to flip TE to 4-majors if a few valient fellows didn't stop him.

Pair the update with some improvements to the DPC and a custom SS depth chart slot.

you can run fast but cannot catch. i've always found that the faster you are running, the harder it is to catch a ball you probably need at least 100 in catching for that speed. also, as i remember it, agility needs to be at least half of speed/
