Cobb never seemed to live up to the high expectations (rightly or wrongly) fans had for him.

I thought Cobb was good, but no way did I think he should of been paid more than Jordy.
Now, the Jimmy Graham case will be more in the spotlight. Will it motivate him or will he soon warm the bench? The LaFleur system requires blocking TEs and good hands catches. 😎

Most assumed LaFleur will go the McVay route (just because McVay is getting the most hype lately) of 3 WRs, a blocking TE and RB.... but LaFleur has spent a lot more time with Shanahan who goes 2 WRs, a receving TE, blocking FB and RB...
And what LaFleur seemed to want to do with the Titans (before his star receving TE got a season ending injury in week 1) was go 2 WRs, 2 TEs (one receving and one blocking) and a power RB.
My thought is that LaFleur is thinking of the same base set-up he had planned for the Titans, in a 2 WR, 2 TE (one of each type) and a power RB. Of course he'll mix it up just like the Falcons, with 3 WRs at times or a blocking FB instead.
I think the big piece that they might be missing and nobody is talking about is the talented power RB, that's normally the starter, and the Packers reportedly did try to sign power RB Mark Ingram.
Also missing is depth a number of areas, especially TE if they are planning on going two TEs more often.
