He's not gotten a lot of opportunities, no. But he's also not exactly gone out there and forced the issue to demand more of them either.

He's just been a pretty standard, run of the mill rookie. To this point he's done more harm than good due primarily to his work on STs, but he's also created an interception on a play dialed up expressly to get him open in space.

If he wants more targets, he needs to play better. Right now he has 3 guys that are playing better than him ahead of him on the depth chart. We also acquired someone with a better pedigree and better measurables.

He's gonna have to put on his big boy pants and, in the words of Pacheco, take a grown man's job. Or he's just gonna keep cooling his heels and we'll see if he can flash here and there before he gets a larger opportunity next season. And even that isn't a given.

I'm kinda past the point of caring what he does anymore. He ain't the DE I wanted and the WRs ahead of him are playing well enough to get the job done. Okay - get good or get gone, young blood. At this point it's all on you.

Get gone? He's a rookie.
