Big Dog has always had good hands and was a legitimate pass catching threat earlier in his career. It has been fun to see him resume that part of his career and particularly to watch him gain YAC!
I have high hopes for Deguara as he seems to be taking his "second year leap" and displaying a much better understanding of the pro game. AR has been throwing to spots with Deguara and trusting Deguara to be there. That is a huge leap for AR and indicative of the amount of work Deguara has put in developing his craft. Hope it continues tomorrow.......

I was always high on Deguara - going back to the draft. He does so many things pretty well that I just got this feeling he'd grow into a good player when his time came. It's his time. Same with Dillon. I was shocked they paid Jones after drafting Dillon. But I love the dual threat.
Man, our GM is a bad ass.

Dillon is a hammer and I thought that MLF would have used him more against the Bucs in the NFC finals after he bullied that D in a couple of plays on one of the TD drives. Glad Dillon is getting used this year as that hammer. Deguara could be the stiletto we need as a chain mover. He is just a good football player!

We have been blessed with having productive TEs that past couple of years. Big Dog is like fine wine and seems to be getting better and more productive as he gets older. I would love to seem him back next year. It appears that Deguara is just coming into his own. He is a smart player and does a very good job as a jack of all trades. He seems a little slow, but that may be due to his recovery from that terrible injury he had. I suspect that he will be even better next year. Davis may be another find as he reportedly did well blocking in the last game and showing some speed when he had his catch. Hopefully, Big Bob will recover from his terrible injury and join us again next year. Gute has done a good job in finding these gems and Rodgers seems to be able to connect with most anyone we put on the field. GPG!!!
