I didn't get to see the game tonight but it sounded like he got burned a few times (got caught peeking in the backfield)? I see in the end, we gave up yards but only 17 points. Anyone have an assessment?
BTW: I like him best in the slot...he's been playing on the outside, both sides, off-on all year d/t the injuries of Culliver, Cox and Brock. But he's epic in the slot!
Maybe I forget but I thought he got abused in the slot and played better outside. Anyways he did have his rookie mistakes, but his future looks a lot better than I expected originally
He bit a couple times in stutter moves at the very end of the season but that's a great learning lesson. IIRC I think he was only beat for that one catch in the slot by Gates? Not sure. I just liked him WAY more than Ward in the slot. Even if Cox and Culliver take off Brock and Johnson are starters. Plus maybe Cook again, a healthy Ward, McFadden, Reaser, Acker, etc. Terrific!
