Best TE in the game?

ratrice said:

so use him at receiver or…out of the backfield

someone equally fast will be covering him or nearly as fast defenders will be waiting for him in zone if play anyone half decent

He’s amazing at TE. Have you tried him on a tt?

dominant power run game

Gesicki is incredible te 6'6 smooth route runner

Yes he looks good too. I was watching a video that drini made and he was saying when you have a smaller te that also has a slimmer build he won’t get bumped whe coming off the line. This causes the tight end to almost glide and get ridiculous route running even though his route running sucks. That’s why I like Vick. It’s on drini’s youtube if you want to check it out.

lol I like to do a little running myself. Vick is definitely subbed out for that. I bring in Poe and occasionally shockey with 95 RBK.

I use hb vick at wr and qb Vick at te. If you want to see what I’m talking about drini has a video about it on his YouTube. When you have qb Vick at te he is so small he doesn’t get bumped while running his routes which makes him run super smooth routes. 

Idk what you’re talking about with defenders being equally fast and waiting in zones for him. That doesn’t make any sense. You can say that about every player in the game. lol

So I’ve realized there is a shortage of quality tight ends right now. I saw Drini using qb Vick at TE. I tried him out and he's been amazing. On a TT 99 speed, 99 acc, 97 agility, and 99 cod is ridiculous for a tight end. I’ve played like 5-6 games and I have not had a single problem with his route running. If you pass a lot he’s by far the best TE in the game.

99 speed Vernon Davis with YAC `Em Up (or Double Me / Max Security) that starts on for 0AP.  Might be better at WR, honestly... but technically and easily the best Tight End currently in-game.  I suspect if you check Drini again tonight, he'll be using Vernon somewhere.

Yea I made this post before he dropped. Vernon looks like an absolute monster. If you watch drini’s YouTube video he talks about how smaller te’s with slimmer builds don’t get pressed or bumped off the line at TE. But I could definitely see him using Vernon tho.

Oh, nice -- thanks for that info.  I was tempted to try running Vernon at WR, because of his ability stack.  For now, i guess i'll just start with YAC `Em Up and hope he breaks tackles.  Otherwise, i'll revert back to the Man Press beaters.  Although, won't most everyone be using Derwin soon, to disable these X-factors?

Why Derwin? Momentum shift?

Aye... was reviewing new cards/content and Derwin jumped off the page at me.  Although his activation stuff felt a little wonky, so was trying to confirm before i build that set -- it's extremely difficult to acquire new cards, as i lack access to auction house and am too fat, lazy and pathetic to send EA Legal a letter.

Activation

Enter: 8 Passes for 5+ yards in a row

Deactivation

Exit: 1 OFF Downs Played

But yes, hoping we can basically have Momentum Shift going all game.  To be determined, but either way, i'm probably going to replace both safeties with Combine players, one 96 (Derwin) and one 93 (Makai Lemon).

I noticed it deactivates after 1 play. People will just not start their players with xfactors on offense and then sub them in after the momentum shift deactivates. I could be wrong but I don’t think it will be that useful.

🤣 this is exactly what’s wrong with this game and the players that play it. 

Wish madden would just go back to being a little more realistic.
