Age and constant battling have taken its toll on Tank's humor sensors.

More like constitutive doobies.

they may let the summer play out and see what's up, maybe even the preseason, they may want to sign another FA and need the space, but i bet kendricks is gone. his cap hit $2.25m. that's too much for a guy who won't play. his dead cap is $600k.

In seven Seasons his Avg Statès:

15.6 Games;12.6 Starts (very good )

31.7 Receptions Per Season for 333.6 Yards and 10.5 Avg. YPC and 2.6 TD...Not productive offensively unless he`s a solid Blocking TE.

Packer TE Lance Kendricks is playing for his Contract with the Packers and needs to be better `Blocking TE` than newly acquired TE Marcedes Lewis.

Ben Fennell @BenFennell_NFL
Listen to #Eagles DC Jim Schwartz.. 13 (3TE) personnel is a nightmare for defenses. It is the answer to the ever-evolving subpackage NFL.
Get 3 TEs who can block, catch, run. Look at the 2017 Eagles offense and how they manipulated defenses with the use of Ertz, Celek, Burton

Atlanta Falcons’ Effective 13 Personnel

Bobble has never seen Richard Rodgers block.

And I also have never seen Jimmy Graham block.

[bobblehead]

Y'all have never seen D-Rod block? I watched D-Rod block for 4 years. Throughout that time span, D-Rod flawlessly made Jimmy G look like Marty B, blocking-wise.

As a wise man once said, take away that bomb the Virgin Mary dropped right into his hands, and Richard Rodgers is more fruitless than an apple tree on the North Pole.

I always smile when people say "so and so was useless except for that time he was awesome, but that was luck and didn't count"

Like Jarrett Bush in the Super Bowl?

You must smile a lot.

For those that say Jimmy G is not a blocker, NO SHIT. That's not his game, and if stubby tries to use him that way it's just wasting talent.

There is no hope of Lance Kendricks blocking better than Marc Lewis, woody.

Blocking only one part of Marcedes Lewis’ arsenal

hodkiewicz-headshot - Wes Hodkiewicz - PACKERS.COM STAFF WRITER

GREEN BAY - " ...“Slim” could block. Fred Taylor figured that out the first time the Pro Bowl running back ran behind Marcedes Lewis during a training-camp practice back in 2006.

Blocking for the Jacksonville Jaguars’ franchise player was serious business. The running game was the backbone of the offense, and if a tight end wasn’t willing and able to block, the Jaguars would find someone who was.

A first-round pick out of UCLA, Lewis earned the nickname “Slim” from Taylor because he was a bit gangly during his rookie season, but he proved up to the task blocking for the veteran running back in his first Oklahoma drill.

Afterward, Taylor had a message for the rookie tight end.

“He said, ‘You keep blocking like that, you’re going to be around for a very long time,’” recalled Lewis on Thursday. “I never looked back after that. I take pride in it, and there’s a premium for guys that can cancel out your best D-end or best linebacker.” ... "

I'm aware of Marcedes Lewis's outstanding Rep as a blocker.

See Post NO . 29.

" ... “(He’s) been a prime-time player in this league,” said Head Coach Mike McCarthy of Lewis’ addition. “Was excited that he was available. I think it's a great fit for us and I look back over the years, and I don’t think we’ve had this much experience at the tight end position in my time here.” ..."

This is a solid signing and addressed a serious issue.

Go Packers !
