Of course having Hardman and Toney available would've made a difference. Their skill sets have absolutely been missed.

I think this game against the Bengals may prove beneficial to Hardman.
I like Hardman a lot more than most on this board. It seems like his development is not progressing, but that assessment is missing one large factor, and that is what is Reid actually asking Hardman to do in the offense, and is Reid unhappy with his progress.
For all we know, Hardman could be performing at a high level in Reid's eye, because Mecole is doing everything that Reid and this offense has asked him to do.
I know we were having relative success on offense against the Bengals, but Hardman has truly elite speed, and has proven he can take a simple jet sweep to the house and is a dangerous weapon in the red zone, and in a scramble drill his speed puts extra pressure on the defense.
His absence, and our struggles in the red zone kinda happened at the same time, and now Veach is going to have to look hard at retaining him. I personally want Mecole back next year.
