Tight end situation puts FAU in a bind
By Marcus Nelson
FAU Tight end Jamari Grant was sporting a plaster cast at the Oxley Center on Sunday and his ankle injury means the Owls have a new problem to deal with for the next game at Wyoming and possibly longer.
Grant's injury could have dire consequences on the offense as long as he is out.
It's easy to look at the depth chart and say that tight end Jason Harmon will simply step up and replace Grant. Then plug in Darian Williams at No. 2 and problem solved. That's great for the first play or two, but with the schemes the Owls use, having two tight won't work for a whole game - unless the offensive gameplan is severely altered.
Normally FAU uses two tight-end or even three-tight-end formations as part of its offense, not to mention the many times it lines up either Grant, Harmon or Williams in the slot or as a receiver - where the Owls need help thanks to the suspension of Cortez Gent and the academic issues of Conshario Johnson.
Harmon played great in the game, but said he was struggling out there with no rest.
"I was pretty much prepared but I was just a little winded at the end," Harmon said. "It was hard with just two tight ends because we run a lot of "Moose" two tight end sets, but I played through it."
So does FAU need a third tight end? If Grant is out for any lengthy of time, I would say the answer is yes.
Here are a few options:
We all know FAU would like to redshirt Rob Housler and bring him back next year, but can the Owls afford to do that now? The coaching staff said they wouldn't redshirt Housler if there was an emergency. They may have one on their hands.
Play a true freshman, such as Nexon Dorvilus, who might not be ready, but looks like he will be a good player someday.
Move an lineman such as Ed Wertepny, who has experience at FAU and at high school as a tight end.
A last resort would be to move defensive end Paul Muse back to tight end (again), but Muse is contributing for the first time on the D-line and would create a hole there where a player is part of the rotation.
We'll see what is done, which could be nothing if Grant makes a fast recovery, but if the injury is a high ankle sprain that takes weeks to heal, something might need to be done sooner rather than later.
