[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 866738"] Well, Hooper followed that TE progression into what started as a breakout 4th. season, so there's that. There is another side factor. With LaFleur's 2 TE sets, one of which being Graham, it necessitated he put a Lewis-type on the field given Graham's blocking shortcomings. Even if Hooper is merely a "capable" run blocker, it opens the possibilty of pairing him with Sternberger or Tonyan in those sets, both of which present better receiving threats than Lewis at least in downfield routes. That presents a personnel group that doesn't just say, "I'm running the ball now." As a backstop for blocking depth, a low round pick for a Crabtree type, good blocker but not of much use in the receiving department, would be a cheaper option than bringing back Lewis or some other vet. You could keep him on the PS without compromise under the new CBA rules. Starting in 2020, up to two PS players an be promoted to the roster and then returned later without being subjected to waivers. That promotion-return can be done twice per year per player. This, along with the expansion of the game day roster from 46 to 48, would open the possibility for more specialization. A guy who is good at just one thing but not very good at the rest might be promoted for a game to be worked into specific match-up snaps and then sent back to the PS. A D-LIne run stuffer who offers little in the pass rush and is limited to either one-gap or two-gap might be an add for a particular game for specific down-and-distance situations. Limited usefulness that might not warrant a roster or game day spot over a full season, but handy in certain moments. [/QUOTE]
