At least it's not "bleated" ๐
Kraft absolutely sees the endorsement gold mine in WI if he can make himself a household name. Keep your eyes on the cheddar young man!
I hope Musgrave is able to return this year. Either way it will be fun to watch these two now that Kraft got a crash course as a starter for a few games.
Have we had two legit threats at TE since Jackson/Chewy?
After seeing some of the things Kraft did in the last few games, I think the only thing Musgrave has on him is a little more speed.
I think Luke is a better route runner too but yeah Kraft has him about everywhere else.
Kraft can be a poor man's Gronk and Musgrave can be a poor man's Hernandez, minus the homicides.
You kill one or two people and everyone judges you.
Three
That we know of. Could be more, who knows.
God judged him on that last one. That's how it works, right? It's been a minute since I've been to Catholic mass.
Itโs nice to have a couple of TEs with actual talent. They clearly are a couple levels up in athleticism from the Tonyan/Lewis combo which was marginally adequate.
Jared Cook was the last TE we had that was a genuine weapon. Nice to have a couple guys that look like theyโre somewhat close to his caliber.
Tuck is absolutely already the best 3rd round pick in like forever.
Watching #85 in Green & Gold make a catch and not immediately go down is taking time to get used to (I loved the Bobby Tonyan story but Tuck is a much better athlete).
No more hurdling, just keep catching everything in your vicinity (6 catches in 6 targets last night) and getting the yards that are there for the taking.
Love seems to have a real connection with Tuck and there is no reason his performance cannot improve moving forward.
Love certainly appears more willing to take the easy stuff the defense is giving him than his predecessor was.
I love seeing a tight end who is willing to deliver a hit for an extra yard

Yes! Hit the guy who is open.

Defenses will be terrified when Musgrave gets back in the lineup.
By using Kraft correctly is huge. That is why I was so disappointed last night on the one 3rd and 2 MLF went deep instead of a short pass to Kraft or anybody to get the 1st and keep the clock running. Those kind of play calls need to be corrected.
We're going to give Musgrave the week.
You could just see 2 or 3 plays last night where Kraft was really thinking of using the hurdle. It probably would have worked too as they typically went low for the tackle. But Kraft just dished out the punishment instead,
If he's ready, play him but use a pitch count. Get some reps with both stud TE's before the playoffs.
The Packers shouldn't be "playing for next week". The Bears game is the first round of the playoffs for the Packers. Win and advance.

Agree but the playoffs actually started last night for the Packers. ๐
Playoffs started last week.
This kid is going to be really good.
Tucker Kraft really played basketball with this man's head ๐ณ

Packers rookie TE Tucker Kraft... I can work with this! @GoJacksSDSU

Big boy block on playside 1on1 vs Danielle Hunter (love the explosion into initial contact, good posture/face up) - then the strain/finish vs Harrison Smith on backside.
THIS stuff will get him more playtime! pic.twitter.com/7XNeEgRqrs
I remember the 2020 opener in Minnesota when Deguara fooled a bunch of us (me anyway) with that single block that took out like 3 guys. Tucker isn't fooling us. He's working his ass off.

How quickly you forget DikPlod and Quarles.
I'm assuming this is without the homicides....๐ณ
Kraft and Musgrave are the second rookie TE combo since the 1970 merger to both have
โ Jacob Morley (@JacobMorley) January 3, 2024
25+ catches
300 + receiving yards
at least one receiving TD
The other pair:
Rob Gronkowski
Aaron Hernandez
Per @packers dope sheet. pic.twitter.com/607Gfsx8gz
Sure hope we have both TEs active for the Bears game and playoffs....

I'm pretty sure I have witnessed Kraft take part in at least 3 attempted homicides on the field this year.
This kid has gotten better and better, especially with his blocking. It seems he's dedicated himself to working on that part of his game; to take Hunter down like that is not easy. What a third-round find by Gutey.

Realized it when I said it, but someone had to say it!
Ok verdict in : Tucker Kraft is a "Badd - Asss" tight end !
Kraft cheese still loading the Brinks truck before making their pitch to Tucker.
