A lot of what zack did yesterday was throw it to a spot where Garrett Wilson and nobody else could get it.
In the future… doesn’t it seem like we need to prioritize smart WRs over raw athleticism? Of course I’d want both but it seems like right now we can make it work if we had “good enough” athletes who consistently run good routes and have a feel for the position. That was the mistake with mecole who was pure raw speed and skyy who had a good attitude so we thought he’d mentally grow into the position.

Skyy wasn't a "raw athleticism" WR. He was a "smart savvy" route runner.
Thru all the WR's and players he's had here in his time, how many back shoulder sideline jump balls have Andy Reid offenses thrown?
