They need another actual WR. Playing more Sample is the same problem as playing more Thomas, you are just massively handicapping yourself. Sample played 29% of the snaps already and had 1 catch for 2 yards.
I figure, with the semi-lack of pt Hurst has seen the past couple years (getting supplanted by Andrews, then Pitts) he’d be good to go with an increased snap count. Its not ideal, I know. But he was signed to catch passes, so let him catch passes. Way less wear n tear than constantly being the in-line TE. Use him like Geseki in Miami. Sample is a proven blocker, so when we go 4wide or one of The Big 3 need a breather or are hurt for a game or two, Sample can slide into TE1 as the outlet while Hurst can be used all over the formation.
I just don’t see any of the guys on the street right now being the immediate help we need at that spot at the price its going to cost. Hindsight 20/20 but man, it would have been nice to sign OJH while he was here.
