Right now it’s relatively easy to simultaneously lock down Ja’Marr Chase and Tyler Boyd; Zac Taylor needs to be coaching these three guys up this week because if Michael Thomas, Stanley Morgan, or Trent Taylor can become a serious receiving threat then this frees up Boyd and Chase.
Yes, Hayden Hurst is a great receiving tight end but he’s not a deep threat.
Getting the run game going will help too; if the run game is successful then a defense has to pull the safeties in closer which means the two high safety defense can be abandoned. This opens up chances to complete the deep ball — but a surehanded receiver needs to be there.
I agree Hurst isn't a deep threat, but neither are Thomas, Morgan and Taylor. Against these shell cover 2 deep defenses a deep threat doesn't matter. Joe has to do a better job of finding the right guy and doing it on time.
