'09 IN ATH Tyler Eifert (ND Verbal 7/8/08)

[RDU Irish]

Nice to see this THREE STAR RECRUIT turn into an All American. Lets find more 6'6" guys with 4.5 forties and good hands.

 

[chyrspchuck]

I think we have enough tight ends...

As I was looking to see who it was that recruited Eifert, since Charlie guys were the talk of twitter tonight per the old players that have graduated, I found this gem of a message. I love finding these. I'm gonna go back and try to find some of mine, I'm sure they are way worse. How crazy is it that Tyler was a 3 star, who we thought might amount to just an ok player and now our entire season hinges on his performance.

Tyler Eifert 2013 NFL Draft Scouting Notes

Note Fairburn's opinion on how Rees has negatively impacted the production of our receivers.

 

[PANDFAN]

lol pop warner qb

 

[PraetorianND]

Had some crucial blocks. But I love that we don't have to lean on any certain players to get a big win.

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

Total team player. He did a lot to help us win the game. Just won't show up in the box score.

 

[rtrn2glory]

raise your hand if you thought we'd win without him catching a pass

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

raise your hand if you thought we'd win without him catching a pass

Never thought I'd see that.

 

[Riddickulous]

Michigan's LBs are less than stellar and we might see some true freshmen starting behind that DL this upcoming week. I expect him to bounce back big time.

#NotreDame head coach Brian Kelly: On limited use of Tyler Eifert ~ Blocking TE with unique ability to line up wide. Had great game blocking

That catch he made on 3rd down at the end of the game was too sweet as well.

 

[ulukinatme]

Don't get me wrong, Eifert is a heck of a blocker when he's not catching passes, but it's taking away a huge weapon from our offense. Probably our biggest receiving threat. Yeah, our QBs have been getting decent time to pass, but it hasn't resulted in a great passing attack really.

Just sayin'...happy with a win always, but we need to get the passing game back on track and this guy is a key piece.

 

[Jebediah Springfield]

Find a way to get this man the rock.

 

[Irishman77]

Imhave been watching football for a lot of years and tyler has the very best hands i have ever seen. No db on planet earth can dislodge the ball from his superhuman grip. Going to be a top 4 te in the nfl for over a decade. Wow

 

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

Yeah the best hands I've seen on a tight end in college. Gonna miss him a lot.

 

[Riddickulous]

First 5 games: 11 catches, 189 yards, TD

Last 2 games: 8 catches, 130 yards, 2 TD

 

[NDdomer2]

Needs 5 more touchdowns to tie ND record for tight ends.

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

Needs 5 more touchdowns to tie ND record for tight ends.

And this is only with 3 years of playtime...

Wish Eifert would stay for another year...

 

[rtrn2glory]

wish he would stay too, but he'd be a productive TE in the league right now.

 

[Buster Bluth]

Can you imagine Eifert playing in Green Bay? Holy mackerel.

 

[arrowryan]

Can you imagine Eifert playing in Green Bay? Holy mackerel.

Or New England! i think he would be better than Hernandez

 

[Buster Bluth]

New England has like 90 tight ends.

 

[peoriairish]

The bears sure use a serviceable TE. I say they trade up to get Manti to replace Urlacher and then pick up Eifert somehow. That's my dream scenario.

 

[Kak7304]

And this is only with 3 years of playtime...

Wish Eifert would stay for another year...

With mediocre QB play and playing next to one of the best WR in ND history.

 

[Irishman77]

How about being tony gonzalez understudy for a year and getting single coverage every play due to jones and white!

 

[KPENN]

Or New England! i think he would be better than Hernandez

 

[Jebediah Springfield]

Really good article.


Eifert Finds Peace, Success

 

[johnnykillz]

Any chance he comes back for his last year of eligibility?

That would be great...

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Any chance he comes back for his last year of eligibility?

That would be great...

No.

 

[goldandblue]

Any chance he comes back for his last year of eligibility?

That would be great...

No

 

[AdmiralBackhand]

I could see him come back if his stock drops out of the first round. That or he just misses the opportunity to play fpr a championship.
