The Slot is Dead

[Whatever]

I was super high on Yoshi coming into the year, but he's been a dissapointment. Same with Geiski.

Other than Higgins and Chase, we haven't had anyone step up to take control of that WR3 spot. We are getting no production out of the slot and aren't working the middle of the field at all.

Yoshi just isn't a starting caliber WR.  Neither is Jones or Irwin.  Burton might be, but they need to play him and let him develop instead of wasting snaps on Yoshi.  Guy is only good for one 1st down a game when the defense completely forgets about him because he's sucked all game.  

It's further complicated by the lack of a starting caliber TE, the RB's not being that good, and the OL being built towards pass blocking.

Next year, we're basically "WR or bust" in the 1st.
