Has Norv had to limit his playbook?

Um, well, yeah. Since the beginning of the season. We just really didn't realize it until the last five or six games how little Cam had left in that arm. Norv and Ron were covering for it as much as they could because Cam could still outperform most back ups, but in the end it just wasn't enough.

It was just making the best of what we had in front of us, but the well ran dry. We might see more of the deep routes with Cam on the bench now, but we won't see everything that they'd hope to do. Heinicke doesn't have Cam's gifts, skills or experience.

Hopefully there will be some serious healing on Cam's shoulder and we can see the full playbook put into play.

Sadly, I think our WRs came out looking a lot worse for this than they deserved to, but the game plan is always affected by the QB's capabilities.

Honestly, I feel really, really good about our WR's . . . better than I have in a very long time.  If Cam's arm was properly attached, our defense would not have mattered in the least this season because with the deep ball touch he has with Curtis and DJ's speed . . . we would likely have made people seriously terrified of what would be coming next.

We were already really good until Cam's arm deteriorated and opposing defenses figured it out.

      I am high, but that’s besides the point! The blue line is not good right now. I’ve said it all year. I don’t think this group meshes well. Slaven has been just OK Niki up and down Miller up and down ghost and Walker have been your most consistent guys. Maybe it comes together more towards the playoffs

      I was expecting to see more cap room moves by now, which may be to suggest that we are not going to be that aggressive.  I have mixed emotions about that (because I think we have 3 needs on D and 3 needs on O--starters).  If you look to the draft for 3 starters, that is ambitious.  We need 6

      Yeah we shouldn’t be competing with teams, bidding wise, to sign a WR. There will be one for us and our budget.  I keep saying, how many balls will there be to go around anyway? One thing good I will say for this offense is the ball has been spread around at times. Seems like I remember seeing a large number of guys have caught passes in a game. Or been targeted at least. 3 RBs 4 or 5 WRs 2-3 TEs type of stat lines. 10-11 guys.  Not every week but that happens.    As far as WR in general, we need the smaller agile and quicker component to compliment what is there. After that it should be about depth, having good backups for the starters so we can run things consistently still, if a guy is out for a week or two. That is especially important in game where you have to finish the game with who you made active.
