Mike Gesicki was beating DBs out there yesterday and he's a tight end. Yoshi, Irwin, Jones are BUMS. Hudson? Bum. Sample? Good blocker. All was getting open. Tyler Boyd used to get open. Moss is a good backup. Chase Brown is a scat back. The IOL is not that great. 

Defense is Trey Hendrickson and a bunch of also rans with the exception of Wilson and Pratt when he's on a hot streak. Being fair to the secondary it's hard to objectively assess them when they have to cover for an ETERNITY. Absolutely zero pass rush. 

Now, is this an issue with position coaches, or is it due to the two scouts and their micro fish readers reporting to lifer Duke Tobin? Hard sayin', not knowin'. 

I'd say that all of them are at least partly to blame, along with a large slice of Zac Taylor running soft camps with an obvious lack of stress on basic fundamentals.
