Something minor but interesting to note (Receivers)

I thought coming into the season we would be spreading the ball around with our new WR group more than we did 2013 and even though Shula has been Shula, we've managed to already have this in 4 games: 

 

Benjamin--- 21 rec 329 yds

Olsen--- 21 rec 254 yds

Cotchery--- 13 rec 158 yds

Philly Brown--- 9 rec 101 yds

...not to mention Avant at 10 & 90.  

 

So after 5 weeks, we most likely will have 5 receivers with over 10 receptions and 100 yards.  

 

Last season, we only had 6 total by the END of the season and 2 of them were running backs.  

 

I'm on the anti-Shula wagon like many right now but you can't argue we haven't been distributing the ball around more.  Yeah, it also has to do with the lack of run game, some minor injuries and us needing to pass but we're at least managing to see what these young guys are worth during the season in Brown and Bersin.  Brown fugged up big against the Steelers but it's totally redeemable if he continues to look sharp on the receiving end for us and manage to improve on punts...because there's obviously some spark in him compared to what we had prior to Ginn.  

 

Random observation but I thought it was worth noting.

I would give more credit towards Cam's improvement in throwing from the pocket than Shula's play-calling skills.

 

Yeah I think that's true and having guys like Avant and Cotchery help as well.  I liken them seekers...essentially always looking for the ball even after a play breaks or is extended.  We haven't had those types for Cam quite yet and it's helping him with his progressions.
