Take off Edelman you have
Sanu - Coming off a bottom 25 WR season in the last 30 years according to Yards/tgt, min 20 catches
Harry - Same as above, except couldn't even get 20 catches. Took to use him in running plays to get him involved.
Meyers - Better stats, untrained "eye-test" looked better, but benched for the 2 above for some reason
Tight ends - Who do we even have, players sucked so bad/got hurt can't even think of them. Last year this was a bottom 5 group.
So certainly going into the season this has to be the worst grouping in the NFL.
That’s the glass half empty way to look at it. Glass half full would say:
Sanu- Full offseason in the system and will have an opportunity to build chemistry with whoever our QB is. Also won’t be playing on one ankle.
Harry-Full offseason. Healthy. No longer a rookie. Will be playing more decisive. Won’t have the fear of returning to the huddle to a pissed off Brady.
Meyers-Another full offseason in the system. No longer a rookie. Play more decisive.
Byrd-Will take over return duties. When healthy (fingers crossed) proven burner that will be a solid #4 or #5 option.
Gunner-Not ready to give up on him yet and hope he comes in this year bigger, faster, stronger. Would love to hear reports that his route running has improved and can maybe jump into the slot.
TE’s-Uhhhhh. I honestly can’t be even remotely positive with this unit right now. Izzo & LaCosse? Oof.
All in all, with another rookie or two added, maybe some additional cheap fa’s, this unit could be very solid. Truth be told, both of our views are probably right in some form or the other. Glass won’t be half full or half empty, it’ll just be a glass with some sh!t in it.
Most of the OL will be back, and the same solid stable of RB’s. That’s before the draft and any additional signings that will be coming through towards/during the summer. If QB situation is above average and we can shore up the TE position to be somewhat serviceable, I think we’ll be alright.
