The Slot is Dead

Always being in 11 with Boyd in the slot had to go. And good riddance.

I think Weezy (is that Jefferson's related?) is right. We want to be more unpredictable. I think we'll see some 12 this year (2 TEs). Some TEs in the slot (especially Gesicki but Hudson, McLachlan, and All coukd be too). Various WRs. And, gasp, maybe even a RB.

Part of me wonders if it's because they felt Boyd was one of the best 3-4 receiving options they had, so they needed to go 3-WR sets so often because they needed to get Boyd, Higgins, and Chase out there.
With Boyd gone and Gesicki added, one has to think they don't feel they need to go 3-WR sets as often and can be more creative with 12 and maybe even some 13, 21, or 22 personnel.
