Yeah, I know. Part of the reason ii was so excited when we acquired him and I did a little background research on toney. A wildly physically gifted athlete, with football intelligence? I was stoked.
But I've run out of possible excuses for why he's not being used except for a handful of plays per game, and few of those as a WR.
The mere fact that JWat and Skyy are getting more than twice as many snaps and targets is beyond understandable at this point, unless there's something Toney's not grasping.
Because as an athlete, he's second to none among our WRs. If you were to pick one of our WRs to get the ball in space vs. any defense, I'd pick Toney every single time, because he's so damn difficult to tackle out in the open.
So it makes absolutely no sense not to have him targeted at least a half dozen times/game in the intermediate zones.
the only thing I can come up with is that Toney isn't doing something consistently or correctly or both.
