and it is not just what he had an opportunity to catch....
the guy is getting inside leverage nearly at will.....
Watch that all-22 stuff...and it becomes real clear...this year teams are fighting 49er WR tooth and nail to take away that inside release.....I guess teams are getting tired of getting gashed by 20 yard crossing patterns and are really keeping BA and Deebo from setting up that rout.
You can see why shanny has adjusted the offense to more outside the hash throws, to counteract how the coverage has been changed this year.
I think Ricky is going to return the offense to more of what we saw last year....the dude can get into any rout that he wants.
Right now...in the last 2 games...it is plain as day he has the best release on this team. BA and Deebo cant get of the line as well as Ricky has shown the last 5 or 6 QTRs of football.
I don't know what is up with the scouting department this year........ they hit on guys all over the field....
I don't know if we got some new insight, or if we finally threw enough darts at the board they finally hit on these random WRs/RBs they seem to take year in and year out.
These draft hits could not have happened at a more opportune time....consider what was lost on Trey.
We will see if guys get up to speed quick enough to help on a playoff push this year, but we are watching a rebuild year...right before our eyes....
