The Slot is Dead

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.  

I'm a little less pessimistic. I would like them to expand All's formations and route tree if they want to continue to use him regularly. What they ask him to do he is doing well but he's not being asked much as a receiver. Chase Brown has looked explosive as a runner but hasn't added much to the passing game which I was hoping. Andre Iosivas has not looked good. I hope they at least start giving Jermaine Burton some snaps on the boundary when Chase or Tee are in the slot.
