'25 WI TE James Flanigan (Notre Dame Signee)

[IAIrish]

I am fascinated by the decision to use James Flanigan specifically for this play:



- was it just for fun and they didn’t think it would be a big play?
- did Flanigan have a good week of practice and was rewarded?
- can Washington not pull as fast as Flanigan?
- other?

Funniest thing about that play is Flanigan ends up about 5 yards from Love when he scores. Kid can run.

If I had to guess. they like flanigan as an inline te. Washington is more of a move te (h or f). If you want to run this play with 2 inline te, he is the best guy for it, especially with cooper out

6'6 - 250

Flanigan and Coop are similar-sized and going to be a nice combo. Can't wait to add Premer to the mix and see if they are good enough to force Denbrock into some 12 in each game.

I think Flanigan emerges as top inline TE. Premer the move te by the end of the season. Coop has a role in run down

If you look away for a second at Flanigans block it looks like Love jukes the LB not a full speed spin move. Special.

Big strong athletic TEs would be my spirit animal if I had one

More than likely, he's able to get there quicker.
