Just about every defense has gaps that can be exposed, but you just have to find them, especially if you have a back like Hill that causes the d to load the box and a receiver like AJ because then the D has to get out in the passing lanes to him with a safety over the top.

It leaves the middle wide open and it's impossible to cover a good receiver because he can go inside, outside, deep, short, etc..

Yep!  Anyone who knows me knows that I've been preaching that since we drafted Grresham, so I was in HEAVEN last night!

It was absolutely BEAUTIFUL to watch because the D had no way to stop it!

Would also love to see Tyler Kroft get more comfortable every week as start getting some targets.

Safety valve?  Eifert looks like he'll be Andy's #2 target and some games might even be the #1 target.

I do agree that it looks like he'll be reliable to beg open on any play, especially if the play breaks down and Andy needs to get rid of the ball.

Like I said, I think Eifert will take this offense to another level because he makes the defense cover so much more of the field, but I wouldn't call him a safety valve.
