A.J is the only WR on the roster can actually seperate from a cb.
Every time Tyler Boyd gets the ball he's stopped in his tracks
Brandon LaFell look like he lost whatever speed he had at Carolina
this offense needs a WR that can exploit single coverage underneath and just simply out run guys
How come Tobin or Lewis haven't been looking for a fresh body to sign to help add some quicks
To the offense
Screen passes to Bernard aren't going to work every week and AJ won't be going off for 7 189 every Sunday
Thankfully Kroft has also stepped up but you're right, I think we are at the point where Lazor may need to broaden the receiving options post bye...its been either -
1. throw to AJ
2. dump short pass off to Bernard/Mixon
3. up the seam to Kroft
I think someone like Steelers will just blanket AJ and force someone else to beat them. At that moment if that 'someone else' needs to be one of our WRs its not clear who it is.
PS: I'm not for going to get someone else mid season. We've drafted enough WRs recently that one of them needs to step up...if they cannot get there we should have seen enough to determine that before this point. We slate Alexander and the OL for not having a viable option at OT but between boyd, lafell, Malone, core and ross (when fit) there has to be a legit WR2 option.
Personally I would like to see Malone get some snaps
