KFFL reports Cam targeted him 9 times and he caught 8 of them against Tennessee (his catching percentage was a drastic difference from his usual ability to convert a target into a reception). In contrast, throws to Smith went for 5/8, 33 yards; Olsen was especially terrible last week going 4/11 for 45 yards; Shockey was only targeted once and he caught it. LaFell was at 1/2 for 18 yards.

This may be a new strategy for teams: try to take our playmakers out of the passing game and force us to beat them with Naanee. ....we couldn't beat Memphis with Naanee. Maybe Indy though.

I believe a lot of team take Nan for granted because of his drops and fearful way of playing of late. They rather focus their attention on Smitty, Olsen, and Schokey. If Nan and a couple of the other receivers can really start gelling with Cam, I think a lot of teams will start having way more respect for this team's offense.

Now if the coaches can just light a fire under the behinds of the defense and special team, can u imagine where this team could be?

The only problem with your last statement is that you have to have the players to light a fire under.

You could sit me on top of a fire as long as you wanted and I couldn't help the defense. You have to have talent along with the desire.

The INT hit Naanee in the hands (granted, it was behind him.)

The receivers need to learn to catch the ball that is in their vacinity. Every ball isn't going to be perfectly thrown like in practice...Dalton throw a ball on Sunday that was in traffic. It could have easily been pick-off but A.J. Green knew enough to turn around and jumped up and grabbed the ball while two defenders from Pittsburgh were all over him. Do u guys feel Nan would have been able to do that?

    • There wasn't a moment of the day that I couldn't at least hear helicopters.
    • Spoken like someone who hasn't watched nearly enough of T-Mac other than a few short highlight clips to know his game. The only thing he doesn't have is the short area quickness in the way that you're looking for, as you seem to want that Jefferson/Chase type of WR, which sure, he's not that. But him and XL are nothing alike, let alone having the same strengths and weaknesses.  In particular, T-Mac's #1 strength is LITERALLY XL's #1 weakness, their hands.  T-Mac has vice grips for hands, catches darn near everything, and does it all with hands catches, the opposite of XL.   Beyond that, you mention prioritizing route running, of which, T-Mac already runs a complete NFL route tree at a high level.  Yes, he needs to work on his get off the line at the snap and get a little crisper on some of his cuts to create separation, but again, all players need to work on something, that's just what his is.  It doesn't change that he is already a great route runner, there are just some small elements of it that he can improve on. Even then, it's like I've been saying, the trade off of not having that true elite separation like the smaller WR's get, is how good he is at using his body to keep the DB's from being able to break up passes and just making contested catches in general.  You lose a little bit of separation, but his 6'5" body gives him advantages that the smaller WRs just don't have. Again, your post here insinuates that T-Mac is a slow, plodding big WR who isn't a proficient route runner, which couldn't be further from the truth.  I have no issue with people wanting other players over T-Mac, or just not wanting him at all.  But they need to be logical reasons, not made up ones in your head because you don't actually know the player and his abilities.
    • I'm pretty sure that was the best season he's ever gonna have.
