    I just read something that provides the magic words needed to assess Ferguson.

    Someone called him a “move TE.”

    That’s less of a pure inline blocker who lines up and is, basically, when run blocking, another O-lineman.

    A move TE, you put in motion and move all over the formation whether it’s run or pass. They often run block on the move (wham blocks etc) and then of course also use motion to set up pass routes. So it helps not to think of Ferguson as a a traditional TE, who tend to be inline blockers in the run game, but to instead think of him as a move TE, who tend to play like big, athletic wide receivers that line up anywhere–inline sometimes but also out wide, in the slot, or behind the LOS.

    that’s what i was thinking too.

    and the rams run mostly 3 wr anyway. it’ll be like a mix between 11 and 12 personnel almost. really hope this pick works out.

    Or maybe they will have sets where they have Ferguson as a move TE, either Parkinson or Higbee as a traditional TE, and 2 WRs. We can call it an 11.5 set. 😎

    [Ferguson] was the most impressive tight end in terms of testing at the combine, proving that he was by far the most athletic of those that did test there. He had the quickest 40-yard dash time of all TE’s with 4.63 seconds combined with an elite 10-yard split of 1.55 seconds which proves how fast he can get off the line of scrimmage and beat defenders quickly to help his quarterback make quick and easy throws. He also had the best vertical jump and third best broad jump among tight ends at the combine which justifies his position in the top tier of uber-athletic tight ends in this draft class.

    Ferguson is basically just a bigger, heavier Cooper Kupp. Would expect Ferguson to do some Kupp things.

    That’s an interesting point.

    that’s what i was thinking too although kupp’s short area quickness is top notch. on the other hand maybe ferguson can make up for that with his size.

    plus nacua and adams as a duo compared to woods and obj as a duo could be an upgrade as long as they stay healthy. the kupp, woods, obj trio was awesome but couldn’t stay on the field at the same time.
