Outside of that absolutely dreadful preseason, I don't really understand why either.  In the limited time he played his rookie season 2014 (back when Avant's bum ass was stealing reps) he shined and looked like a very competent rookie WR... and a complete steal for a UDFA rookie.  His only big knock was body catching and questions about his durability.

Last preseason is really the only time he's struggled.  He balled out all last year... hell, he only had like 1 drop for the entire season IIRC.  He also became more consistent in using his hands to catch passes.

I mean, he's not going to be the next Steve Smith or anything, but I can definitely see him having a solid career... maybe even eventually morphing into a solid #2.  He can still improve a lot despite already being solid.

31 catches for 447 yds and 4 TD's is hardly balling out. He was the 4th most productive WR on the team while playing the most snaps out of all the WRs. Funchess and Cotchery played far fewer snaps and still outproduced him. Sure he didn't have many drops which is great and all but he couldn't get open.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By Navy_football · Posted

      It appears that he sees things differently than the QB and OC, so Cam's advice is spot on. It isn't about number of targets, it's about quality of targets. Trust and being on the same page. BY doesn't know how to anticipate what XL is doing. And XL doesn't like where BY is placing passes. One on one film study would go a long way. More for BY than XL though. He has to adjust to XL. I really don't think XL can adjust on the fly.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      If the team shows improvement, then he shouldn't be in danger of losing his job - even if the record doesn't reflect. This was a very young team (with a lot of new vet starters) that overperformed last season. Somebody's doing something right. Consistency is key with so much youth. And we're potentially looking at new starters at ILB and FS. Those are positions that take time to fully understand the defense. ILB calls the front 7. Safety calls the back 4. Injuries at WR and IOL killed the offense last season. Depth needs to be upgraded. Same with Edge. I think they would have won more games if Pat Jones doesn't go down early. Be smart with the roster and draft. Trade players for assets when it's time to pay them more than they're worth - yes, that includes BY if he doesn't make a pretty big jump. That's one of the many reasons Tillis is as important as anyone to the future of this team.
