They didn't get coached to run good routes and have football iq or have basic catch skills. These guys never had those things in the first place and now it's the thing we need most.
All our guys are role players we banked on playing well in an expanded role. Toney is just a gadget guy. Mvs is just a clear out guy. Mecole is an acceleration guy. Skyy was supposed to be a man Eating, short catch and run guy but can't even do that well. Some of these guys would probabky be OK and dialed them back into a role where they can feed off of other guys. But it doesn't work when they have nobody to feed off of.

Man, you gotta stop with this shit. It's nonsense.
'catch and run' is not a negative, ever. It's a description of a positive attribute. It simply means a guy is a good open field runner with the ball.
Tyreek was a good 'catch and run' receiver. Juju, when both knees worked, is a good catch and run receiver. So is Hopkins, Hollywood Brown, AJ Brown, Aiyuk, Deebo, you name it-in fact, name any great WR and I'll show you a good 'catch and run' receiver. It just means they've got a chance for a big play anytime you can get it to them in space.
You've latched on to this phrase like it somehow explains something, and you have no idea what you're talking about.
There's plenty of pure speed in the WR room. There's a couple of big guys, there are some shifty guys, some guys that were supposed to be good route runners...they are not any ONE type. Other than the fact that the entire group all shit the bed simultaneously, there is little in common between them. (Other than Rice, of course).
