TEs have always missed out on Jumping ALGs. Now, the Combo TE gets it. That's a small improvement

Unfortunately:
- Combo TEs don't get Carrying or Stamina
- Receiving TEs don't get Jumping or Confidence
- Power TEs miss out on Jumping and Vision
- Blocking TEs miss out on Carrying and Jumping

For the Blocking specialist all is well. They can choose the blocking archetype and they miss out on a couple of incidental skills, but are happy enough. Receiving TEs have more of a choice, but none of them are ideal. A possession type can take Combo, I suppose, but the lack of Stamina ALG is a problem. The other two Archetypes miss out on two receiving Attributes. If the archetypes remain as they are then some tough choices are going to have to be made by agents building receiving TEs.

Not really, I'd take it to the 3rd cap. I don't see how you can estimate how people would build.

Dallas Clark isn't a great blocker. Neither is Greg Olson. Or Antonio Gates. Or Todd Heap.

Who said anything about being a great blocker? p sure .33 ALGs in blocking doesn't force you to be a great blocker.

It makes more sense for a receiving TE to jump than to block tbh. I mean, isn't the whole point that he ISN'T blocking because you've got him out there running a route?

Speed, Agility, Catching, Jumping, Confidence, Stamina, Strength, Carrying imo.

They should have both blocking and jumping tbh.
As jdbolick implied, to have a TE that can't block at all would be stupid. Even the most receiving-oriented TEs in college and pro football still are assigned to block a fair amount of the time.
If you really want a TE that can't block at all, put a WR OOP at TE, supposedly it is not that big of a penalty.

I don't see why TEs can't have 4 minors (adding jumping) instead of 3. Jumping really should be in there, and the reduced ALGs in blocking might please the "QQ I don't wanna do any blocking" crowd.

I think the reason RTEs don't get jumping is because they're TEs and TEs don't jump. Maybe once in a while you see Antonio Gates or Vernon Davis high enough to slip a tissue under his cleats. But Witten, Clark, Daniels, Shockey, those guys are glued to the ground they may not block a lot, but they block more than they jump. Having alg only really matters on stats that go well beyond the first cap, jumping just isn't gonna go that high. They're not WRs.

Sorry in advance if this has been covered in previous pages.

Makes sense from a football point of view, but from a dotball point of view where RTEs are built like speedy WRs it makes less sense.

Granted, I agree with anything that makes TEs act more like TEs and less like expensive OTs/cheap WRs.

Marcus Colston comes to mind, he was a TE in college, when he got to the NFL the coaches put and end to that silliness.

I know GLB=/= nfl, but I do think it should strive towards it. WR like builds at TE should be discouraged by the build system and oop.
