Mr 2.5 per won’t be a first and 10 or second and long option. Think 3rd or 4th and 1.

IMO, it'll come down to pass protection.

Pass protection is great but what if you're a useless sloth catching the ball? In passing situations the defense doesn't even have to account for him.

This has really become the company line. So and so just needs to step up. But that feels a little like blind faith unless the player last year gave them a reason for that belief or hope. And in this case other than maybe Overshown, these guys had their chances and didn't flash shit in my opinion. Unless Fehoko has bulked up to play 3 tech, I see no hope for the guy being more than maybe the fifth DE on the roster. Schoonmaker will continue to get his chance, but #2 TE is such a back burner position in my mind. And Mazi, he has been hurt, the blind faith with him is kind of crazy to me.

Same shit different year. The Jones Clown Show is nothing but smoke and mirrors to pad their pockets.

If their way worked in building a team, there would be copycats left and right.
This just in: their way doesn’t work and no one copies anything the fake GM and Ricky Retardo Son capologist do

They don't even gave to account for him on running plays.

That's just not true. He had 51 catches last year with 12 receiving first downs and 2 TDs.

He might not be the greatest receiving back ever but he's not a useless sloth catching the ball and defenses unquestionably should be accounting for him.

His 5.4 yards per catch was pretty pathetic for us the year before. It was all short and fall down immediately. But hey, maybe McCarthy is a play caller will unleash something less pathetic.

His last year in Dallas was an anomaly and a small sample size. Most of his career including last year on a bad NE offense he was at 6 or 7 YPC, which is perfectly fine at 75% catch percentage.

By the way Pollard averaged 5.7 yards per catch last year and everyone loved him as a receiver.

I'm not saying it's OMG yeehaw kickass or anything but it's certainly something the defense needs to defend and it's objectively not useless.
