Yeah, it's great when you can bring in a fresh body, place them in a role you've seen them succeed in in practice and then sub him out when your better player gets their wind back.
That's not what happened in Denver. Our backups were forced to play a ton of snaps in roles they weren't meant for. We had to replace a route god like Jeudy with:
Tyree Cleveland, who made the team strictly because of ST's and is only used as a blocker on offense.
Montrell Washington, who is a returner/gadget guy at the moment. He's still learning how to play WR.
Kendall Hinton, who is an actual receiver who can fill in for a starter in a pinch.
