Wrote: If they continue to run this short passing game / screens / dink & dunk offense due to "taking what the defense is giving" then how important is a 110-target, 1,000 yard WR2? Irwin COULD be that guy in that type of offense, but I don't see him as any kind of down-the-field type guy who can even occasionally stretch a defense or take a short catch and turn it into a big gain. He's a possession guy through and through, in my opinion.

You may be projecting a little.  I'm not sure if the offense was meant to be "dink and dunk" as much as it was simply limited to accommodate Burrow's inability to move around on his injured leg.  Obviously, later in the season they had to go with more high percentage passes in order to allow Browning to keep the team competitive.
