Anyone have a snap count on him yesterday?

 

I wasn’t fully engaged during the game as the wife and I were putting up our tree but i only saw him in there for a couple of snaps. One where he clearly beat the defender down field for a could have been TD on a rare Cam under throw. The other a nice 12 yard reception in traffic.

 

This guy clearly has the speed and skill set to be a viable option in the deep threat game so why is it that he was only utilized once (to my knowledge) in this context?  You would think that with Olsen out again and every dude not named Funchess laying an egg week in and week out we would at least see what the kid has.

 

What do do you fine ladies and gentleman have to say on the subject?

He had one catch for like 12 yrds.  He is not going to save this season.  Dude is a JAG, fast but that's it.

Not claiming he’s a world beater (yet). The point I’m making is that he has a higher ceiling than most on the roster and just like other positions it’s probably going to take a significant injury for coaching staff to realize his potential otherwise he will fade into the abyss.

He had his one catch for 12 yards and almost had a 30 yard TD but Saints corner tipped the ball at the last second. He's not a gamebreaker but I rather see some of Shepard's snaps to go to him. 

Just what I said myself. He needs Shepard snaps. I also seen a play where he was crossing the field wide open and Cam over looked him. My kids was screaming at the TV saying look at Byrd. Thats why during the game I said Byrd is open.

    • No one's saying LaMelo has no blame we're responding to you acting like he's the reason they lost. The scapegoating and blaming the teams woes on his personality is where it's like Cam Newton all over again. It was a failure on multiple fronts and primarily Lee's. Dude said ON AIR pregame that they had to protect the paint and if that was his gameplan going in he couldn't have botched it more. As the commentators said Ball's a rhythm guy and Orlando was preventing him for getting any kind of flow going. I'm a normie watching on TV and said they needed to bait them into fouling to combat that. They didn't even try until the 2nd half when it was too late. I think it's fair to expect the star to overcome whatever but LaMelo was not the problem in that game and he's not what is holding the team back. He's the only reason they're flirting with being a great team. I kinda put the center play on Lee too. Moose is great until he's up against a big who can body him. We've always known that and that's what Kalkbrenner is for. I don't know if it would have changed much but Kalkbrenner should have had more minutes than him.  And moving forward with the center position, I just think it's the time to trade Diabate while his stock's high and that's not an indictment of his game. He's like an evolved combination of Biyombo and PJ. He's a great rim protector and the strength issue is just what you're going to have to deal with if you want that. But Kalkbrenner is perfectly capable of protecting the rim and we gotta get away from the undersized centers or it'll always be a problem for us.
    • Honestly its why that Jalen Coker grab was a big deal.  I'd been warming up to the idea of a sadiq pick and was adamantly against a receiver...but this altered my train of thought.  I mean For instance, Cade Otton signed for 3 yr 30 mil contract...thats not dramatically different than the rookie payscale for #19 (4 year 20 mil with 5th year option), however you KNOW otton is decent...no clue if Sadiq will be anything.
