The biggest biggest thing that changed is that defenses adapted to us. And that’s not ideal when our players are dependent on scheme to get them open and when they don’t have the flexibility to do anything else. All Toney can do is catch and run. All Mvs can do is clear out routes. Is it a surprise we don’t have flexibility to adapt? We’ve got a bunch of role players and defenses took away the one thing these guys do best.
So it isn’t always necessarily about talent, it’s having the right talent to beat what defenses throw at you. We didn’t have it 2 years ago, we adapted to have it last year, and now we don’t have it again. And Reid and veach are brilliant enough that we’ll have it again next year. That’s what happens when every team has a bullseye on our back. This is a good lesson that in the future we need to anticipate these arrows instead of waiting the last minute to dodge them

Part of the problem is that there has been zero pipeline for WR's here.
Hardman was a gadget guy they never resigned, Skyy Moore a bust. Rice looks like 1 player in 6 Veach drafts that can play WR in the NFL. That's not enough, especially if you decide that signing a player like DHop at under a 10 million cap hit this year is too rich for your taste.
How are you going to stock the positions if you don't draft or sign anyone?
So it's misfit toys and cheap swings that are expected to pan out and then people are shocked that shitty players aren't now good?!
