    He plays both TE and FB.

    The 3rd TE typically doesn't play on the line. They are several steps off of the line. He'll be fine.

    It doesn't matter. As a 3rd TE or a FB the routes will more than likely be a short outside slant, middle comeback, or flat as the check-down guy. I wouldn't think of it as he is a TE or a FB....there is so much overlap in the modern NFL. It's no different than when a RB motions to the WR slot.

    I only said H back....because it's always been a hybrid TE- fullback position.

    Was, maybe not is

    We will see

    Mark Bruener was my neighbor and when he was a rookie he referred to himself as a 250 pound pipsqueak

    He put in the effort to get better and became pretty good

    Let’s give Muth the same opportunity

    I would be curious to know why he didn't take #1.

    I'm saying that the Steelers didn't seem to have much of a need for Rader last season. That was demonstrated by him only playing in six games. It is ludicrous to suggest it will be hard to displace a guy the Steelers didn't even bother to use in 11 games last season.

    A TE who doesn’t catch is about as useless as my tits

    I hate the QB numbers that WRs wear these days. I'm old school... WRs should only wear 80's numbers.
