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).

Yes. Those guys are catch and run guys who can also run routes and go downfield. We have guys who can only catch and run.who HAVE to do it because if it's not some quick spoonfed route now all of a sudden these guys have to run actual routes, read the defense, make contested catches… and our guys do all of those things very poorly.
You can have catch and run specialists IF you have guys to play off of and we don't have that. And so you have clearout guys like Mvs who are worthless when the guys underneath become easy to take away and you have catch and run guys who are meaningless because defenses are begging us to stretch the field.
These guys didn’t just shit the bed simultaneously as if these guys were world beaters. We put way too much faith in these guys taking an expanded role and they flat out couldn’t.
