Offensive Weapons

That’s what points to the under utilized part. I want to see him used more, maybe he is a big time TE.

 

Vrabel loves him too. He pointed out that he is slippery and gets 5-6 yards after you think he's tackled. Also promised that one of these days the OLine will get good blocks for him and he'll go for 40-60 yards. Lol

Honestly I thought he'd be another over hype speed guy... but so far, he's been pretty damn good. I'd like to see them get him the ball in open space (Kelly tried hard that first week).

 

Spears needs to get his love. Tried to bring up his draft thread, but it's locked.

But Spears is something else. He's so fun to watch.

 

All I've seen Kelly use him for is to block and runs short to intermediate crossing routes. I want to see him running the seams deep like Art did with Firk and Jonnu.

 

A screen would be good too. He’s showed some speed before.

 

What I like the most about the way that we have deployed Henry and Spears is that we are making it hard for defenses to know exactly what we are doing. It isn't like we are only using Spears on 3rd down. Against the Bolts He got 4 touches on 1st down, 3 on 2nd, and 3 on 3rd down.

 

I honestly cannot remember the last time we have had a THREAT on 3rd down plays.... meaning, when Derrick came out, the opposing team KNEW we were going to pass.

Tyjae has shown the ability to get first downs in between the tackles. So teams can't just wheel out a coverage blanket on 3rd down now...

So I guess moreover, what I'm excited about is a dual-threat running back room, with a bell cow overseeing it. Hilliard was serviceable, but I never remember him getting open on wheels and etc as much as Tyjae has, even in just his first 3 NFL games....

 

I think we need to give a shout out to NWI. He's made some big plays over the last couple of weeks.

 

He is a better WR than people around here give him credit for.

 

maybe he is? I am not sure if he is or not. Do you have reasons to believe he is better?
