There's a reason why we're still talking about "the next Housh" 10 years later. I hope Boyd can get there. We'll see. For now, I'm just wondering how he's going to get significant targets/snaps with Green, LaFell and Ross there. Not to mention Eifert and the RB's eating targets...and it's not like we pass a ton.
We actually passed the ball a decent amount when Green was healthy. Dalton averaged 36 attempts a game until Green went down. The only game that he had less than 30 attempts in our first 8 games was against Cleveland when our run game decided to show up. I really think that Zampese will pass a lot more than we are used to this year now that we have a decent amount of receivers.
That being said.... Boyd is no Housh, but I still think that he will be a very solid target for Dalton. Probably having 600-700 yards a year if Zampese passes as much as I think he will.
