That's why some of us had been calling for a WR3 since 2009, and a middle-deep guy since 2010.
And this year at least it would seem to fall heavily on Josh, no? People keep saying that Lloyd is better than last year's Branch, but after Sunday I'm not so sure. Neither appears to be the solution.
This has been the MO on how to stop the current version of the Pats passing attack for a few years now. Lloyd was added to curtail this style of defense and, yesterday, he failed miserably in his role.
Well, it's early enough into an already injury-riddled season that I think pointing fingers in this area is premature.
Is Edelman the answer at WR3? We don't know.
Is this the best Lllllllloyd's going to be? If so, a lot of us were wrong.
Is the Welker avoidance stuff on McDaniels/BB or players/opponents?
Can this team integrate all the parts more smoothly?
Will this team stop forcing the ball to Llllllllllllllloyd as if he's a legit WR1 when he needs to be this group's WR2?
We need the answer to the above before we know whether or not the problem's solved, or whether the problem is player/coach/both, IMO. They still need to find the Mike Wallace/Randy Moss player for the offense moving forward, though, because Welker is seemingly going to be moving on and the team will be without a WR1.
Don't tell Andy Johnson this....he insists Lloyd has expanded the field.I'm interested to see the Wednesday responses from those that have All-22 access. I don't think the Jets really gave a damn about him threatening over the top. The safeties seemed to be focues on Welker and Gronk... and they got away with it.
Sorry, not buying that 'clogging the middle' nonsense.
Last year, instead of Lloyd, we had a clown named Occho.... and god knows that ****** couldn't catch a ball if it was laid in his hands with white gloves. Yet, we had a force attack straight down the middle with our duo TEs and Welker that got us to the Superbowl.
