For those ragging on Funchess' speed, he's not slow just like Jamal Adams, who ran a bad 40 at the combine, and recovered at the pro-day. Devin did the same, IMO we didn't use Funchess enough, we spent too much time in 12 personnel (2 TE's), we should've done more from 11 in my opinion forcing a defense to match the receivers, and then we can determine run or pass based on what the defense puts on the field. 

Benjamin to  Funchess to one side, Olsen off the RT's hip, and Ginn isolated (last season) I think was our best offensive grouping over having Ed Dickson replacing a receiver.

I think this is the ''evolution'' we will see with the addition of Samuel becoming the new slot receiver, and I think he and Funchess will rotate inside out given the situations. 

Most NFL teams run 11 personnel beyond any other for us 11 was second to our 12 personnel package.

Having Benjamin and Funchess on the field opposite of each other is the worst personal we can possibly put out their. It's easy pickings for the defense.

I may be wrong, but didn"t Funchess play some tight end in college ?  why not cut Dickson and try Funchess and maybe Bersin at tight end . That will free up an extra spot for a faster WR. Both have the size and speed won;t be such a factor.

I clearly said Benjamin AND Funchess to one side...this guarantees single coverage for one of them as Olsen, and GInn are on the right side. 

You can't split them opposite too often because the defense won't have to respect the deep ball, but we also can't sit here and act like Benjamin hasn't pulled in passes down the sideline on go routes.

They have been facing single coverage since they stepped foot in the NFL. That's their problem (mainly Funchess) he struggles on single man to man coverage.

85% of all Funchess yards and catches come from the slot running slant routes. He's not an outside receiver
