The TE threat has to be there for this offense to click, especially on third down when we need to move the sticks. Through three games our guys collectively have 2 first downs on 10 catches. One was on Hudson's 20 yard sprint down the seam on 2nd & 1, the other was to Irv in the RZ against Baltimore (I think it was on 3rd & short). But that's it. The rest have been checkdowns that don't make it, needing five but getting four, etc. Either way, 20% is an abysmal %. Hurst and Uzomah were always closer to 50%. If they don't get the ball that's fine. But when they do they need to be able to find the marker. Defenses will continue to crowd our guys downfield if they don't respect our Y inside.
Small sample size to be sure. Just saying it needs to get better than this. If Hudson can be that guy then let's go. I'm all for it.
