Yeah. We keep hearing how the room is the same so we can figure out who else is to blame. But it really isn’t. I agree I’d like to see rashee take more of the juju role on. But that doesn’t solve it either. Even with higher snap shares to rice we have no choice but to throw lots of snaps at WRs who aren’t very good. And we’ve reached a point where we are actively trying to hide them in our offense and yknow what, it’s probably our best option right now. I think defenses are better prepared for what we threw at them last year and kelce went a notch below juggernaut. We bet big on these catch and run guys and defenses are ready for it. We talk about eb but in 2020 we were caught with the same square pegs in round holes. Defenses dared us to throw short but all we had on our team were burners. Now it’s the opposite.
I think it’s possible we had right place right time last year. We had the right scheme for defenses who weren’t prepared for it, and we had players peak at the right times. Mvs wasn’t good last year. Toney barely saw the field even in the Super Bowl. They just happened to play terrific at just the right moments. And it feels like this year we’re still trying to capture that lightning in a bottle when what we badly need is consistency. Skyy was just never very good to begin with.
