UConn Football Hoping For Big Year From Tight Ends

>>But with last season’s offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee leaving for SMU, the Huskies’ offense is now led by John Dunn, formerly an offensive consultant with the Chicago Bears. And from the looks of it, Dunn seems keen on using tight ends in his system.

“I love tight ends. I love involving tight ends,” Dunn said. “I think those guys can be a real x-factor because of how multiple you can be. I think tight ends are a great way to have in the offense because it can create a lot of formation differences for the defense.”<<

Isn't this what Diaco said about tight ends, but never used them? Sounds good and I hope Dunn actually does it.

I think Diaco actually used the tight ends more than Lashlee did. Myers and Bloom were invisible last year and it was odd.

I think its pretty obvious that Edsall is much happier with his own guy as OC.

There are some things David does really well and we think we’ll tailor things to that as opposed to doing things that doesn’t fit into his wheelhouse. That’s one of the things John has been really good at.

Wow. What a revolutionary idea. And I say that semi-seriously.

So, there is a lot of pre-season deception about the O going on right now. I get that. But reading the tea leaves and letting my speculative side loose, I am gonna guess that Pindell will be over center this year a whole lot more than last. Something like 50-50. With a guy like that so quick on his feet, why would they not give the opponents multiple looks to increase the level of deception? It will also be interesting to see if the game slows down for him now that he has the resemblance of a serviceable OL in front of him.

Too bad we didn't have Dunn to utilize our 2 really solid tight ends the last 4 years lol.
 
Dumb question, but will the media have daily access to the fall camp?

He works for Edsall, not Diaco... Big difference... I think we might be able to believe a little more of what comes out of Dunn's mouth...

I hope we use tight ends but this seems like one of those things like when the basketball coach say he is going to play pressing running basketball. Sounds great in the preseason but never seems to happen once the opening whistle blows.

Who amongst us does not appreciate a tight end?
 
Ostrout: Soph RB Mensah trying to bounce back from spring suspension

>>“I always say a kid doesn’t know what he doesn’t know,” UConn running backs coach Terry Richardson said Tuesday. “And there were some things that we had to show him and teach him. Like ‘Hey, academics is a big part of what we do here. You were a star in high school but you’re here now. This is a hard-nosed program and accountability is key. We’re not just going to sweep things under the table and let you get by with it.’ ”

Three months later, Mensah is back. And doesn’t hold any grudges toward the coaching staff that briefly sacked him.

“That was a lesson learned. I think coach (Randy) Edsall did a great job of sitting me out and not letting me play, letting me realize that without education and without school you can’t play football,” Mensah said. “I thank him for that. That really taught me a lesson.”<<

No greater lesson than that.
