You're either trolling or writing under the influence of alcohol. I'll just repost what I said on the "Postgame Reactions Thread - Week 2":
Our offense has certainly shown this year that if Chase is being taken away there is zero creativity to find ways to get him involved and back in the game again. I don’t know if Chase just doesn’t like running routes over the middle or what, but it seems like it’s either fade or go routes and relying on his speed/athleticism to win out, without any thought to how to actually scheme him open. Things were so bad that Dan Hoard said at one point “how is it possible that Chase has one catch for 0 yards at this point?" (He said this on the 3rd quarter).
I don't mind Chase working the sidelines, that's the highest ROI route for a receiver. But what a waste starting him in the slot or back field if he's going to end up there anyways. With our dirty pockets, hes going to spend the entire play getting into position with no time to actually get open.
