I’m really confused. Has he missed a game?

Bad ankle which caused him to miss most of the preseason, now a bad back...hes 3 games into his career and her been on injury report damn near every week since mini camp...still confused?

 When we bring Chud back

Looking like Benji is leaning towards starting now, so having Benjamin , Funchess , and Shepard and CMC alot in the slot and out wide some ,  Samuel is being used like our #4 or #5 WR , when he really should be fed the ball alot more b/c of his speed and maneuverability in the open field .  

It'll never happen but it makes me wonder what the offense would be like if we were starting McCaffrey and Samuel out wide with Shepard in the slot . Just replace all that lumbering slowness with max speed and agility

Maybe when we start throwing some deep shots to him intstead sidline passes, utilizing his speed that we liked when we drafted him.

Shula seems to think Funchess is a speedster and likes to use him on the deep routes instead

I don't think Newton can throw deep right now, at least not accurately.

At the intersection of healthy and an offensive coordinator with half a brain.

meh, I will never call out a rookie.

He can, just was used to Ted Ginn speed. Byrd & Samuel need to be sent on those routes.

Not till next year.  Only special rookies get to touch the ball during the regular season.

Rivera rule.   Kind of like back when Freshman couldn't play sports.  They had to wait till they were Sophomores.

Not this Sunday.

Byrd needs to be used in the passing game this game. He needs to be targeted down field to open up the defense for the run.

I for one can't believe a small, easily injured, streaky player is rarely playing and streaky.

So, if you're Belichik (or any opposing coach for that matter) you watch tape and you look at personnel and say "ok we've seen them do x with this guy. And he is dangerous in these positions" and you game plan against that so you can minimize their strength. Buuuuuuuuuuttttt...

...Shula doesn't use our players strengths.
