The sooner he is relegated to a more proper TE3/TE4 role, the better we will be. But with Gesicki/Hudson so one dimensional, he will still get a lot of work.
But I agree, Sample, Gesicki, & Fant will get the lion's share of the TE snaps. Hudson/Grandy will play less. Of course, nearly all of the Gesicki/Hudson snaps will be as a big slot and not in-line. And nearly all the Sample/Grandy will be the opposite, or at H-back.
Sample also plays special teams where I doubt the others will. He'll get the most total snaps, but on offense, I like Fant. Narrowly.
No he doesn't suck, you just don't like him.
He is stiff and slow as a pass catcher, but he still is far and away the best blocker on the team and a solid lockerroom guy: I said 2 years ago he'd be here for another 5 at minimum at he has 3 to go.
1 of Hudson/Grandy will be on PS and Grandy is absolutely NOT a better inline or pass blocker. Maybe out in space he's better than Sample, but that would be it.
