We acquired this guy before the season started from KC.  He had a solid preseason for KC and according to Reich he was a good route runner.  Outside of Theilan our WR room is pretty much a bunch of JAGs. Mingo is a rookie and maybe worthy of his draft position as it appears he's getting better.   Outside of those two guys our other WRs are not very good.   Why aren't we putting this guy in the lineup and see if he provides some sort of a spark.

If we weren't going to put him in the rotation why did we acquire this him?  We could have filled the PR position with just about anyone.

Given the state of our WRs, I have to imagine they haven't seen much from him in practice as a WR and only plan on using him as a returner unless an emergency dictates him needing to be in on offense.

Maybe I've missed it, but I don't remember seeing him take any snaps on offense yet.

I haven't either.

His PR judgement doesn’t seem that much better than Shi Smith who is probably the worst PR I’ve seen that never muffed a ball. 
 

I could see him taking a line drive to the house but nothing seems that dynamic about him. Not great not terrible. Would love to see him contribute obviously. 

I thought the reason we picked him up was to bolster our WR room but outside of Punt Return he's been a waste of a pick we gave up for him.  

We could have put anyone back there and saved the draft pick.  Though it was a 7th rounder we could have used it on a player that would contribute more.  

I think what gets me is that he had a pretty decent pre-season, which was why we picked him up in the first place.   He can't do any worse than what we've been putting out there so far.

I mean can't hurt to let him run a couple deep routes to spread things out. Chark barely gets any separation for being our "speed guy"

 

The guy covering him fell down which is why he was so wide open lol. Usually when a guy has touched the ball a handful of times like he has for us you can tell if they have "it" so far he doesn't look like he does. Blackshear on the other hand needs to have more touches/passes go his way he definitely looks like he could develop into a very solid chance of pace back to compliment Chuba.

I'm more excited about Tarik Cohen getting up to speed.  If healthy he will be a major upgrade to the return game and probably a better route runner than most our WRs

Cohen hasn't played in 5 years.  What do you think he's going to come in and do?

He catches the ball so I’m content with him. We’ve had way worse

As was said at the time of the trade when people were claiming KC's receivers were 'stacked' and that's why they let him go, he's not a good receiver at this point. Says a ton of he can't get snaps over guys like TMJ.

anyone thinking we outsmarted the chiefs and their front office/Reid is delusional

      Redzone Offense vs. KC by drive

      By Icege · Posted

      NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.

      Crazy stat

      The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
