There is a bit of overlap between Chandler and Wright but not enough to really put them directly into competition. Chandler’s still closer to a “Y” tight end while Wright is more a fit for the “F” tight end spot, ala Hernandez. They can definitely co-exist and I certainly thing there’s a place for a Gronk/Chandler/Wright package in the red zone. Throw Blount and LaFell in there and, to quote Wooderson, “we’re talkin’ some f’n muscle”.
Had some Tyms vs. Dobson debate yesterday. First, Dobson showed real promise his rookie year and the injuries have been unfortunate. He deserves every chance to come in and compete for that 4th WR spot on the game day roster that Tyms had toward the end of last year.
But here’s the thing – we know Tyms has deep ball ability, it’s a standout skill. What’s Dobson’s standout skill? Good size, good speed, good hands… generally good, but what is it that’s going to set him apart? I am not sure. Is he the better all-around receiver? Probably. But is Tyms’ talent that is unlike any other receiver on the roster, enough to give him the edge.
They will be two to focus on. If you watch the Garoppolo preseason video I posted a couple weeks ago, you see plenty of Dobson and Tyms in it. I still come away thinking Tyms is the better player, at least in than sample set, where Dobson was still coming off an injury.
