i think we will see an underwood type role from faciane this year, appearing in goal line and 3 TE sets. the H back spot will be a group effort by fowler, howard and freitag IMO

The town I grew up in had Freitag family, it was pronounced Free-tag.
I grew up in Bandon, OR, might be pronounced different in the NW.

I think having Nudie back in that i-formation or h-back role will only help matters at the true TE spot.

Good stuff Travis, getting Fowler back healthy will open things up. I'm excited to see what Howard will bring.

Bandon is beautiful, but we have a different phonetic system out here in Oregon. Don't believe me...well
Couch = Cooch, not the thing you sit on
Willamette = Will am et, not Will A met
Tigard = Tygard, not the winne-the-pooh frind with a d on the end
measure = May zure instead of the typical pronunciation
Lesson: Don't use an Oregonian's recommendation for pronunciation of anything. Remember it is Ory gun!

It is "free", and IMO his name will be used considerably more in Sneak Peek:TE article for 2014.

good stuff. Need some guys to step up here. Hope OJ and Freitag make plays.
Really need Vogler, Jones, Faciane to step up.
Hope Fowler comes back 100%

Say this for the guy, he made the most of the time he had. Won an NC and became a fan favorite pretty much all in a year's time. Probably would've gone to UA out of HS if it hadn't gotten in on him so late.
