We literally have Zero WR's and blocking talent/unproven TE's playing with a rookie QB. He could call a flea flicker every play, have all 11 men on defense bite and our WR's would be running bubble screens, fall down, go out of bounds, trip running into a ref or drop the ball.
Seriously, our receivers are like watching a benny hill comedy re-run.
But that's the weird thing then because our wideouts have pretty decent speed. They're all in the 4.4 range which is plenty fast. Not the fastest, but fast enough. We just got rid of Deonte Thompson who runs a 4.23. He should've either gotten open or his presence should of allowed someone else to get open.
So are they running bad routes (which is coaching) or does the play design suck (coaching)? I keep thinking that if Bill Belichick had this crew of wideouts, his O.C. would devise clever schemes to compensate for their weaknesses.
I could be wrong, but I think Dowell could do better.
Established Veteran QB's and Good QB's make poor Wr's OK.
Rookie QB's make poor WR's look like what they are.
When I look at a WR speed is about 3rd on the priority list for me. I'll take good routes and hands over flat out speed any day of the week.
Coaching may have something to do with it, but look at these guys.
Bellamy, Joshua UDFA - Crap for Hands, good routes, special teams player only.
Gentry, Tanner UDFA - Unproven, bad routes, hands? jump ball specialist in college? Has anyone seen enough to know?
Inman, Dontrelle UDFA - showed potential last year, with a good QB throwing him the ball? Honed his craft in the CFL prior to NFL. Hasn't played yet.
McBride III, Tre 7th Rd, Cut by Titans - not enough tape to judge anything??
Wheaton, Markus 3rd Rd, Started less than half his games, let go by steelers, perpetually snake bit with nagging injuries. Probably WR3 or 4 on a good team.
Wright, Kendall 1st Rd, Hasn't had a decent season since 2014 - Eddie Royal Part II, good routes and hands but probably a WR3 on a decent team.
So, from that list which guy just oozes that we are not getting out of them what they potentially are? Which guy on that list is a guy that can get open more often than not?
So we have a WR3, WR3-4, Inman who is what? and 3 guys that would be special teams only or not on another NFL roster.
Personally, if they want to win games now and not work on development, as much as I hate to say it, Hands like feet Bellamy needs to play because he can get open and runs good routes.
Bill Bellecheck's no name guys, two 1st rounders, 4th rd, 5th rd, 7th rd, 3 UDFA.
