What happened to Funchess?

I remember last night that Funchess was in the slot and beat his man by 5 yards on a crossing route but DA decides to target Greg that is being blanketed by a S. Funchess would have been running for miles. I hope he does not get frustrated and check out but I feel the team is stunting his growth. I feel like he and Shaq Thompson are in the same boat, I see them make a big play then they are subbed out for the rest of the series.

disagree about Shaq.  At least through games 1 - 4 his snaps were increasing every game.  Haven't looked at last night's snap counts yet...

Funchess is not even getting looks. It's either olsen or KB on every throw. Plus Ginn being the other starting receiver doesn't help. So he is only getting so many snaps since we only like 3 receiver sets anyway and forcing the run game. I have said for the longest this is a passing team that wants to force the run and it's turned  into a poo storm. That's all coaching.

Actually, not true in some of the earlier games, he had tons of snaps but very few targets.

I'm concerned that we're not spreading the ball around.  Don't seem to be throwing much to Funch or Brown, and not much to Ginn in the past 2 weeks either.  I'll try to post updated receiving targets & receptions tables later today if I can find a bit of time / energy

I was definitely exaggerating but yes, I agree.

Nothing has happened to Funch, he's been open in multiple games and on multiple possessions. Who is Cam and DA throwing or should I say forcing the ball to consistently? KB and Olsen. Either the QB are locking onto a few guys or the coaches are not calling plays designed for the other WR.

For Shaq it simply has to do with the offensive personnel on the field. We can't play 3 LB's against 3 and 4 WR offensive sets. The only way to keep Shaq on the field in that scenario is to sub out TD which might actually be a conversation worth having as it looks like father time is finally starting to catch up with him.

I love Shaq, but anyone with sense saw this coming when the Panthers picked him.

I'm thinking this is it for TD(this season).  Will be a very sad day, but necessary.  I honestly don't think Shaq will miss a beat when he steps in though.

      Ekwonu doesn’t get dog walked under 2 minutes in the 4th, we drive, kick a FG and win

      A lot of young QB's struggle with holding on to the ball top long. He has gotten better progressively in that regard. Pocket Time(in Sec):  2.5(2023), 2.3(2024), 2.2(2025) Time to Throw(in Sec): 2.9(2023), 2.79(2024), 2.82(2025) The divedends have been fairly small, is the issue.

      If you can only fire ONE person before 2026....

      I'm firing DC, though I think it actually makes the job less attractive. He's not prepared to be a HC and it's showed. A new HC is not going to be tied automatically to BY. He's going to want to bring in some level of competition in the QB room because anyone who has ever watched football knows our QB room is lacking. If he doesn't, that tells a more interesting tale of who's really calling the shots.  Dave hasn't been decisive enough in game and that leadership council BS has trust fall vibes. Our offense has been pathetically stale and vanilla. Our run game while good has made no sense based on who has been playing best. Our defense is improved but they can't be expected to hold opposing teams to below 17 a game because our offense can't score consistently.  We've beaten some teams we shouldn't have beaten, specifically GB and the Rams, and I think our record doesn’t accurately reflect where the team and the coaching really is. We've fallen flat against a geriatric rookie QB leading a 2-10 NO team and got our ass handed to us TWICE. We're unprepared for the biggest games.  This is what happens though when real coaching candidates turn down interviews because your owner is a narcissistic butthole. You get someone no one else bothered to call and you get the results everyone else would have expected if they had.

      The Saints would be 2-12 if not for us. We are 50% of their wins. A organization serious about the playoffs does not get bullied by a sh*t team like the Saints TWICE. It's over my brotha.
