During the Vermeil years, did it matter when the offense made a non-turnover mistake?
**** no. That offense was explosive as hell. It took mistakes and kicked them in the balls.
Tony Gonzalez dropped an easy 20-yard pass? Whatever. Priest would just take a screen for the first down and the same pass would be attempted and then completed on the next set of downs. Holding penalty? R-E-L-A-X.
This offense isn't afforded those luxuries. It can't just suffer a holding penalty and then expect to get out of it no problem. And it also means that every time a player is targeted, we need those catches to come in. We're getting a high percentage of them, but that's not good enough. It needs to be EVERY down.
Frankly, I can probably count the number of WRs on one hand in the past 5 years who made a living by being that steady dependable reception no matter the circumstances.
Jordy Nelson, Anquan Boldin, Steve Smith, Reggie Wayne... really, that's all I got.
