Sensible move. LaPorta had a great game but he looked slow to get up a few times, he was definitely playing through some pain. More depth was definitely necessary.
Still take Ertz for a title run over Wright and Firsker, with Mitchell on IR.
Given that Brockās biggest strength was blocking, I donāt see why Ertz canāt fill that role next Sunday.
Iād imagine they will create a package for him.
Something like 15 plays or so.
Good signing. If he can chip on Bosa and at least make himself available as a safety valve, he can help this offense.
I thought Ertz wasnāt all that highly regarded as a blocker.
Calling my shot, Ertz getās a TD against the Niners this weekend.
Ertz will be super bowl mvp.
Yeah thatās what my friend whoās an Eagles fan just told me like 5 minutes ago.
I was under the impression that narrative changed ā¦
I liked the one below.
Ertz: Iām not signing in Detroit.
Infante: you Lion (lying).
Iām not going to pretend like Iām super familliar with Ertzās blocking game. But here are his blocking grades from PFF for those who care about that sort of thing:
Love that heās played SF a few times as well.
Ertz is another big target in the red zone too. 46 career TD catches.
You wanna double LaPorta in the red zoneā¦ Ertz may have some great matchups
I questioned this guyās blocking. He is familiar with our TE coach tho. Hope Iām wrong.
The blocking article below was posting 6 years ago.
Well, theyāre so banged up, why not?
Repeat after me, āin Brad we trustā.
maybe something clicks for him here being we have a lot of studs to help him get in shapeā¦
I was just going off of chatter of which I had heard back when he was a top tier TE.
How desperate was this guy for a paycheck? Didnāt he hear the chatter that we were going to lose to the Rams and Bucs as favorites? And now we are big underdogs to the 9ers? His agent must have been promised a futures contract after the SB win or Zach sits at home until the spring.
