Not sure if many others have commented on this, but I've been shocked at how little involvement we've seen from Myers in the passing game. I was expecting big things this year. We are so successful when utilizing the tight ends and I hope Myers gets some more targets in the coming weeks

Part of it is the formations we line up in. He seems to be on the field more for our designated 3 runs up the middle and punt formation series. Perhaps the coaching staff has more confidence in his blocking than Bloom and Davis (Davis makes sense). The season is early and I still think Myers is more than capable of displaying that enormous potential as the season progresses.

Had we passed instead of run on the last play, I would have hoped that one or 2 of our tight ends would have released.

Yeah we need to get him more involved. I wonder if it's just a matter of Shirreffs still learning to make his progressions and trust his pocket protection.

With zero knowledge of the situation, I'm going with he still isn't fully healed from his injury. Davis has done the best job getting open out of all the TE's.

I agree.

How do you go from that seam pass that Verducci selected against Villanova with a athletic 6-5 250 TE to what we are seeing today. Verducci, it would seem, does not think Tommy Myers has the mobility and speed back from pre-injury days. Something.

I know the family. He is fine. It's the sets and plays as someone else had mentioned.
