At this point I feel like James is a distraction. We’re trying to get him touches and while it’s too soon to tell, I don’t think he’s it.
I had hoped Toney could be a primary target so it gives the other WRs time to grow. Maybe he is that guy but it doesn’t feel like he’s reliable enough to depend on that. I actually really like the idea of figuring out what the offense can grow to look like without him. Then plug and play him more like a utility knife weapon.
So I’m not bothered by these injuries that much. I think this will force us to figure out what we have in our young guys which is what we need most. Ross early on since he has less of a learning curve. But ultimately rice. I hate to look past the next few games but they seem really ideal to start playing with the Ross/rice experiment quite a bit more.
