Curran also said this...Hmmmm
I agree Biscuit is not a NFL caliber Starter...glad we cut our losses.
Exactly my point. Drafting out of need is how you get stuck with players who don't live up to their draft status. BEST PLAYER AVAILABLE, plain and simple. Its what everyone preaches bill does, and look what happened when he forgot that approach. With the way we made trades (hicks), and signed FA's (branch) is easy to argue that picking brown over collins was a huge mistake.
so we have the ususal shocker . and then some
might not be the only one..
more importantly . Pats have their punt returner
There is no reason he can't run those routes. He has. He won't step into edelmans shoes but he could.
This offense doesn't have assigned roles, it morphs and eveloves yo the players but uses the same principles. Some of what Edelman did no doubt will be taken up by hogan.
That was meant to be a completely separate post. Sorry dude.Right...Miami and Buffalo who, combined, have had two playoff appearances between them in the last ten years.
There's no reason Hogan can't play inside, but there's a damn good reason he won't. He has the best chemistry with TB on the outside going deep since Moss. They're going to mess with that for Phillip Dorsett? I'd be shocked.
A common misconception around Edelman is that he replaced Welker in the offense. He’s asked to align in many more places than Welker. In 2013, Edelman spent 49.5% of his snaps in the slot, and it would be much lower if Danny Amendola hadn’t been injured. In 2014, Edelman spent 42% of his time in the slot, and increased to 51.2% in 2015 and increased again to 53.5% of the time in 2016.
So Edelman spends roughly half his time on the sideline and half of it in the slot- and he’s the most productive receiver in the league coming out of the slot.
Edelman “averaged 2.42 yards per route run out of the slot, the highest mark in the league,” according to Pro Football Focus. “No slot receiver was more likely to be thrown to when lined up there than Edelman, who was targeted 29.1 percent of the time he lined up in the slot.”
I'm in!Can I start a Jimmy for Goff+Donald rumor?
