A defensive players only meeting but there were multiple tight ends? Doesn’t add up.

TEs are going to join the DE rotation.

We are going to full positionless football

53 right ends catching, blocking, running, passing, kicking, and rushing the passer

Total Football

Ben Johnson tried to start the revolution last week and we weren't ready for it smh

Basically special teams.

Hutch played tight end in high school fwiw

LaPorta needs to start earning that new contract he wants I guess

9. u/TurnbullAC92 · 2026-10-24 19:54 UTC

LAPORTA, DIDN'T HAVE THE ANGLE! TOUCHDOWN!

Tight Ends occasionally play safety, don’t you remember the gronk play?

this is the next step after 12 and 13 personnel

12. u/Splooder1 · 2026-10-24 19:16 UTC

McVay isn’t far off of 14 personnel. Puka is just shy of the physicals of a TE. Given their drafting choices I think he’s committed to finishing the transition. 5 personnel can’t be far off.

What does add up is laportas comments on busting his ass…

14. u/Sixer7 · 2026-10-24 18:43 UTC

He said what now?

15. u/Harbaugh_Handshake · 2026-10-24 18:44 UTC

super tight butthole

16. u/captainklaus · 2026-10-24 18:56 UTC

A defense, much like a butthole, is meant to be tight.

17. u/theumph · 2026-10-24 18:59 UTC

Or airtight...
