Which WR has most catches while Green is out?

There, that hit the spot for you? Wink

Someone has posted the numbers here before, but I'm having a hard time finding them due to firewalls here at work.  While I admit, my sarcasm and attempt at humor failed.....and apologize that it came off as being smug, I just don't see how you think he's "ball-less" for not spreading the ball around, when the numbers have shown otherwise.  Of course your two best WRs are going to see the most targets, all teams do that.  We just haven't seen those auxiliary targets do much when they've gotten their shot.....a la a Calvin Ridley, Cooper Kupp, etc.
I accept your apology and apologize for my comment as well. But we are talking about WR in this thread and that is who I am referring to he has no trust in the other WR not name AJ or Boyd. Yes Andy does target RB and TE quite a bit more then I like in most cases he loves to check the ball down and throw to the safe targets. The TE targets are ok since it moves the ball downfield a bit more but the RB targets are behind the line of scrimmage in most cases. Marvin talked about pushing the ball downfield more in the offseason and preseason. Daltons strenght is in the 20 to 30 yard range which he should look for targets in this area if he has the time. Core has dropped a few but he has not had over 5 targets all year after three years riding the bench and only 200 yards his rookie year he really needs more to knock the rust off this goes for Malone as well. These players come in from college and go right to the bench in most cases and are expected to play without flaws after riding the pine for 3 plus years which is unrealistic in certain cases I am sure it happens but is not the norm.
