You stated that he can't get separation or beat anyone until a play breaks down; there he beat BRADLEY ROBY, right at the snap and ran right by him with a precise (albeit simple) route.
So yeah:
Exactly. A role player to the extreme, but could definitely be utilized more and more effectively, within that role.
That's what I'm talking about. With a limited running game we're going to have to use more quick release plays. That's what the Patriots do with Edelman, Amendola and their running backs when they're dealing with a smothering defense. Erikson is that type of player.
