Drew Sample doesnt stress a defense.
He doesnt command a double team. So now
The defense can apply that double team elsewhere
I have rarely seen Drew Sample catch a ball beyond
Or around the 1st down stick.he simply lacks that
Extra gear to seperate.
If it is 3rd and 8...defenses will gladly let him catch it
And then proceed to drop him a few yds short
Offenses that can do what they will in the middle of
The field just dominate. It all goes back to the TE
LBers have to play back at a deeper depth.
Safties have to adjust their depth all
It eventually opens up the run game ala Cleveland Browns
Not having that seam killer at TE just puts more pressure
On completing the boundary throws to the WRs.
Drew Sample is a sure handed check down target
But you can ask him to run a post or out and up or even
A,backline endzone route.
He cant high point to save his life
It does not matter who is the weapon or mismatch on the team. The Super Bowl showed that three is the magic number. Considering we have Boyd, Tee, Chase, and Joe Mixon, I think that is plenty to beat a defense. You simply need 3 as they can only double 2.
