The player you see today probably isn't the player you'd be seeing if you gave him significant touches in week one. He needed time to get comfortable and up to speed.
He did flash in the preseason. I get his runs weren't great but he had a long catch and run showing his speed. There is some truth to what your saying though. Things are good right now and feel like we are doing a good job of getting the balls into our playmakers hands and letting them make a play. We just need to continue to do this in the future.
I had thought this is in the past with Boyd and wondering about his lack of targets at times. That we had the mindset that Chase and Higgins were are truly explosive players so those are were are targets need to go. Which there is truth to this. But I wonder if our whole offensive mindset is this. Let Burrow see the whole play so cut out play action cut out misdirection roll outs because you are limiting the field for Burrow. I get this thinking because you want to give Burrow the whole field with a healthy target share to Chase and Higginsand essentially maximizeour potential each play. But hurt the RBs and the line as well as some other players who might have an easier time getting open in these situations.
