Is there anybody left from.Proehl's time here, though?

Jake and Steve are involved, if you count his time as a position coach probably more. Staff and scouts are your thing so I'll defer to you on that. It's a small world especially when it comes to 32 football teams in a country of hundreds of millions of people

Austin just isn't an NFL talent. He has good hands and he's fundamentally sound he's just not going to be able to get any separation at the NFL level.

Yeah, modern NFL offenses put a premium on being able to get open. So you either better be an extremely elite route runner or an elite athlete. It's tough to get a lot of interest if you can do one of those at an elite level.

Think about how many "possession" WR's from 20-30 years ago wouldn't be able to find a place in the modern NFL.

Probably a nepotism favor

That’s a hell of an accusation seeing as how Proehl hasn’t been connected to this organization for quite a while.

 

If you ever watched the kid play you know he has something. He likely won’t make the roster but he isn’t a bum.

    • Yup. Hopefully  Brandon adds some muscle this off-season but he'll probably be resting his shoulder for a while so I doubt it. Miles should probably be replaced but I don't think we find a better 4th option to be honest. So is it better to add depth along side williams and Coby or try to upgrade the 4/5 . I think adding depth will probably be more beneficial than trying to upgrade starters and bank on Brandon and Kons continuing development. I really don't think they are going to make the playoffs unfortunately. I think the big hole they put themselves in has exhausted them. They've been amazing since January 1 but I think it's come at a cost and their legs are gone. 
    • The issue is the predictability of it all in a Bryce Young led offense. In 4th down attempts the Jets were at 41 and we were at 40. And we were 4th in conversation %. We were 25th in the league in 3rd down conversion because we faced so many 3rd and longs in part due to playcalling on 1st and 2nd down but more largely due to the limitations that cannot be overcome.  And people want us to spend another 1st rounder on WR as if it is going to magically give Bryce physical talent he will never possess. It's a shame we cut off our own nose just to put ourselves in this frustrating predicament.
