Canales really loved this question

Across the league, many of the most productive wide receivers are doing their best work out of the slot. Rams WR Puka Nacua and Seattle’s Jaxon Smith-Njigba are perfect examples, with both putting up strong numbers this season thanks to their impact coming from the slot.

Teams are clearly figuring out that placing their top playmakers inside creates major advantages against today’s defenses. I’m glad Canales has picked up on that as well and put T-Mac in position to have his best game yet. Especially against the Falcons, who arguably had one of the better pass defenses in the NFL prior to yesterday

Hope to see that continue. Dave's still relatively young in the coaching world and is clearly still trying to find a good formula. Yesterday's gameplan with the YAC and impact all across the board was an encouraging sign for the future.

It's a hellava lot harder to jam a receiver if he's a yard behind the line of scrimmage.  He's able to get going sooner.  Plus, I think it is harder to put the best DB on him in the slot.

Now the question is:  why weren’t they already doing that?

Someone also mentioned that it was challenging to do this before because we didn't have another reliable receiver (Coker being out and X being unreliable). You still have to have some type of threat on the outside, otherwise defenses will zero in on the slot. Now with Coker back and up to speed and Legette hopefully being more consistent, we can move Tet around more. 

I would make the case that the TD to Legette happened primarily because TM got attention in the slot leaving X one on one on the outside without a safety over top.

I'll eat crow on that one. I didn't think WR was the right pick. I loved Tmac, but thought WR at #8 was a reach. I was wrong.

Scourton working out well as a round 2 pick helps.

I don’t watch much college ball to scout draft picks. I didn’t know how right the guy was, but I did know that defense wasn’t going to give us proper value at 8. 
So I didn’t argue with it, but I didn’t know either.

And that's exactly how it's supposed to work. The WR1 makes it easier for the WR2 and everyone else.

      First Round Poll: Position Drafted

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      I want something else, but I've got to say I think we grab an OT in the first. We are looking at future issues at OT on both sides of the line after this season (and that's IF there are no further injuries). If Icky can come back, he's going to be somewhat expensive. Moton is winding down his career (and I hate to see him go, but his cost vs value curve is tightening up about as fast as his sciatica is on Monday mornings).  In a perfect world, we grab the best OT available and let him learn behind Rasheed Walker, Moton and the rest of our experienced linemen. If Icky comes back next year or late this season, that's great. If not, and Walker proves to be too expensive, we have our guy in place. If Icky does come back, we slide the guy to OT and move ahead, with five years of reasonable costs for OT. If I had my drothers, though, I want a TE or MLB right off the bat, the best one available.  Just not another WR.  We need to let our current trio cook a bit more. I'm not completely given up on XL. Third season tells the tale on WRs and he deserves at least that. Plus, on first rounders, grab someone who is involved in either every offensive or defensive play. Get the mileage guys here.

      First Round Poll: Position Drafted

      By Basbear · Posted

      Here is my current guess about the first round, I feel Proctor is in the 8-25 group. Id personally draft him as high as 5th overall and be very happy. Again I don't understand the hate and lollololollolllo @ the 2nd round talk and you are right there lots of it.  You got Frank at everyone's #1, then my guess its bailey at #2, then a run of 4 OSU studs and now you are in fog of who or what is next. Love * should go no lower than 7th.....From that 8 pick to 25, its a mess. The whole draft doesn't have a good consensus like years before. Many players feel like 15 pick on this team board and 52nd pick on others.
