Last year, Passing TDs were down because Eifert and Green only played in 4 games together all season.
TE, OL, LB were much larger priorities of need than WR.
That's partly why Ross was a need.
AJ Green has missed 11 games in the last 3 years (counting playoffs + the Denver game where he was a "decoy")
Tyler Eifert has missed 27 games in the last 3 years (counting playoffs)
When those 2 were down, it became abundantly clear that we have no play-makers outside of those 2. I'm sorry, say what you will about LaFell, Boyd, Core, Uzomah, etc...none of those guys are scaring anyone. You don't have to plan for any of those guys if Green or Eifert are down, and those 2 have proven to go down often (that's what she said).
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
