This sucks. I hope Staes is ready. We know he can produce just need to give him the opportunities.

I'm expecting Staes to play very well and the questions being (rightfully so), with our WR struggles why did we not utilize both staes and evans more in our tough stretch out in routes.

Before Evans started become the evans we know vs Ohio State, Staes had the first monster TE game vs NC State. Can't expect to replace evans reliability and ability to make such tough catches, but Staes has the ability to spread things out, get downfield, and utilize speed a bit more than evans.

Awful decision making by the coaches. At that point, the game was was done and no way Pitt could come back. He shouldn't have been out there. Not only for the risk of injury, but also so that you can develop emerging players. I can't believe, after his injury, they actually kept rushing Estime.

I hope they learn from this.

Thomas update? Let's run a deep seam route in the 4th on a recovering hamstring. Come on with the decision making on that sideline. Probably why the line is low.

Staes hasn't shown me Evans' mobility yet. Hope that will come, but we need a quicker guy to emerge at TE in the next games to go with Staes size/power. ... and Sam needed Evans as guy-to-trust, so this is NO good.

Let’s hope Evans doesn’t follow the trend set by Kevin Bauman & Eli Raridon. One ACL is enough.

Not sure I agree, staes is more mobile than Evans, see nc state or even called back td va Pitt . Evans just has elite ball skills and good blocking, and uncanny ability to catch the ball in traffic. I don't see that from Staes, he's improving blocking, but there's more ability to get Staes downfield.

Coop Flanagan’s time has arrived. I’m very optimistic on Coop!

he's a big physical TE that can move descent (kinda slightly bigger version of evans), curious to see if Raridon is ready. He has elite TE athleticism and length if confident with all his injuries to use it

TBH, I think Staes is more athletic and quicker than Evans. Evans is a better route runner and blocker. This is an opportunity for Staes to step up and show his ability to block.

Put Greenhouse back in the slot.
He was Sam's big inside target when Evans was out earlier in the season.

In a way, this season has been characterized by Notre Dame having only ONE receiver in whom Sam could have confidence that he might win a contested pass, or even be open enough to try it. ---> Evans. And then Sam didn't even have him. Almost all of the rest of this "analysis" is the greatest crap unless one starts with that outrageously weak but vital personnel package. It is astounding to me that we had such a good OLine power group which, with the most powerful back in the country running behind it, could push most teams around, even when the opponents knew damm well that Sam wouldn't consistently have ANYONE to throw to. Example: Flores is going to be good someday. Sam had to try to depend on HIM when Evans wasn't available. Worked some; didn't work some. What other top quality team would be in a personnel situation like that? I stand in applause for Flores --- he's doing what he can. He'd probaly be the number 6 receiver on most rosters. Imagine though an opposing DC: Well, they run the hell out of it, but can't pass a lick because none of their receivers are any good, except sometimes one raw kid. Just put "X" on him and stack the box. Blitz all you want. One motion penalty and they're done anyway.

Mitch was absolutely going to be a draft pick this year if he hadn't gotten hurt. Dude has developed quite well and will only be better with Denbrock.

Does that say he is back to 110% fitness? If not not reading.
