Tight Ends Are Projected To Catch 10 or 11 passes this season

[Elias]

Although the scheme installed by new offensive coordinator Chan Gailey favors spreading wide receivers over using tight-end heavy sets, the Jets’ reluctance to target tight ends is approaching historic levels. At this rate, Jets tight ends will finish the year with 10 to 11 catches, which would be the lowest total in the NFL since 2000, according to Stats LLC. In those 15 seasons, only nine teams have completed fewer than 20 passes to their tight ends. The 2000 Dolphins and 2004 Steelers tied for the fewest, with 16. (Those two teams went a combined 26-6.)

Would have been nice to see what Amaro could have done in the spread offense. I would imagine he would have been targeted at least a tad more than Davis and Cumberland

Not so sure about that. Amaro got on Bowles poop list very early on.

During OTA's and mini camp, When Bowles was using 2 fields, one for the guys who were expected to make the team, and one for the scrubs, and bubble players, Amaro was playing on field 2, with the scrubs.

When camp opened he was getting 3rd team reps. Not sure why, but he was in Bowles dog house from day one.

We'll see what happens next year

It's scary what a non factor our TE's are.

On a side note....kinda related. T-Bo has shown decent hands out of the backfield, i wouldn't mind seeing a few more passes thrown his direction.

I would like to see Brandon Marshall move to tight end like the Jets did with Jerome Barkum. He might be as good as Gronk. Tall, fast, and tough.
