Finger of Shame- TJ

[pattersaur]

Alright I'm not here to b and moan too much, so I apologize.

But sadly I am here looking for answers-- Can someone explain to me why TJ Hockenson is 'just a guy'?

I thought he was going to come back midseason and light it up. Hasn't happened at all and it's been Addison who's picked up the slack (up until last night).

Hock gets ignored, then Sam remembers he exists and he'll do some good things for us. Then it's back to nowheresville. He's open and it's a bad throw. It's a good throw and he drops it / can't make the contested catch.

Is it the playcalling? Is he still hurt? Does Sam secretly hate his guts? Was I expecting too much and he's just not that Alpha TE guy?

I know we have other weapons. I know he has to block too. I'm not saying he stinks. He's just... fine.

In games like last night when we desperately need some quick passes or easy completions to move the chains, seems like the Top 10 Pick TE would be someone to lean on.

I posted a similar sentiment about TJH in the Vikings v Lions thread...

All the stars were pointing to him having a big game and the team needing him to have a big game.

I also think we would have seen a couple of PI calls for him if that game was here. Just saying.

Bitch and moan all you'd like, it was a really poor game last night: Missed opportunities, bad QB play, bad O-line play, possible questionable play calling. Big lights shrink up by our boys in purple. Time to vent and let it out.
