Drew Sample is a Bum

Keep in mind, our other receivers aren't getting a ton of seperation.  They rarely catch the ball in space.  So if Sample is out there getting tons of it, then that means Burrow just isn't seeing the field.

Maybe you're right (along with Nex Gen Stats) I just find this almost impossible to believe.  Burrow's cramming passes in all over the place, with defenders draped all over our WR's, and Sample is out there getting seperation?  Joe doesn't see this?  This doesn't show up on film?

No, it’s number 2. ZT designs plays where Sample chips then runs a route. Our Oline is so bad that by the time he starts running his route the ball has already been released or Joe is on his back.

So, Sample ranks high on routes run, cuz ZT is always sending him out, but he is the last to get open and there isn’t enough time for a route like that to develop.

Those are my assumptions anyways. Doesn’t make Sample a good TE and ZT just needs to keep him in to block if this is the case.
