[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 880114"] Well, that depends on who you want to call a TE. As you may have noticed, I'm of a mind to look at a guy's role on a particular play rather than his jersey number or the position designation on the roster sheet. LaFleur recently said he wants to use Deguara like the 49ers use Juszcyk. Without getting into what LaFleur is actually communicating with that bizarre copycat statement (does he mean it, is he justifying the pick for public consumption, is it misdirection for opponent consumption?), it's worth noting Juszcyk played predominantly in the backfield on a 37% offensive snap count. If LaFluer means it, that makes Deguara a FB, not a TE regardless of what the roster sheet says. I don't know if he could get up to that Jusczyk snap count as a rookie with only 3 weeks of camp, but it's likely to be somethin' somethin' as a FB, maybe some snaps at TE. We've of course noticed the WR situation--no upgrades, Funchess bailing out, last season's "big slot" approach. Perhaps Sternberger will be that big slot. When you put a TE in the slot, he's a slot. Put him out wide, he's a wideout. Of course in 49er copycat mode, or looking back to LaFluer's Titan offense, you could see 3 "tight ends" on the field more than we've been accustomed, whether that's a seven man line with that fullback, or a six man line with that FB and Sternberger in the slot. There are many possibilities and I'll miss the preseason to get a feel for where this is heading. [/QUOTE]
