The Slot is Dead

[Whatever]

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.

All has shown some good things, particularly as a run blocker, but TE's tend to have a slow learning curve.  It seems like they are concentrating on his blocking first before throwing too much at him as a receiver.  And honestly, if Brown is going to miss time, Ford is going to need a good deal of TE help.

Brown is basically one dimensional.  He pops some nice runs, but brings nothing as a blocker or receiver.  He's a dude that should be getting a handful of carries a game in a RB by committee.  Moss looks like what he is, a journeyman on his 3rd team in 5 years.  They've neglected RB for so long, they're gonna have to take one Day 2, in all likelihood.

WR is just a complete mess.  They better pray that Burton pans out, because they aren't gonna be able to get anybody worth a damn in FA.  Oh, and did we mention they also need a C or G to groom early due to expiring contracts and/or Cappa and Volson being bad?
