WTF is up with Z Marshall? He played a few snaps yesterday, right? (So not out with an injury). What about…

Tonielli (sp?)? I know Buchanan lined up like a TE a lot for Utah last year. Does Beck just hate actual TEs?

Has Bonner passed the returning TEs on the depth chart?

I’m a huge Z Marshall fan. I was hoping he’d be voted a captain. (He apparently played a major role in keeping things together last year.) And, he seems like a decent TE. The one time I can remember him being in the game yesterday, he made a key block to spring the ball carrier.

I guess we’re just so committed to H-backs and the Rhino as blocky/catchy guys that there are no snaps left for the real TEs?

Back to the board

  - Yikes—was he just jacking off out there? Zero targets, right? That block I mention was the only time I noticed him*** - By Craig September 13, 2026 at 10:18:29 AM
    - They had him split out a lot and with 3 WR I was pretty excited but they never went downfield after halftime* - By Rich September 13, 2026 at 10:19:40 AM

- TEs don't play when Hoffman and Beigel get those snaps. Another reason to hate Beck's offense* - By Rich September 13, 2026 at 10:14:34 AM
  - I agree with some of your criticisms of Beck, but I don’t think it’s time to jump off a bridge quite yet. He’s a got a short but very impressive track record in the run game. Seems like they’re using Hoffmann as TE/FB/H back hybrid, and I think he’s done well, including as a receiver. - By Ev September 13, 2026 at 10:34:18 AM
    - I think Hoffman misses a lot of blocks for a blocker esp when he has to move laterally instead of straight ahead. But his presence would be tolerable if Beigel never played and the other player was a normal TE or WR.... - By Rich September 13, 2026 at 10:53:20 AM
