11th in targets that include a bunch of going nowhere passes behind the line.

I suppose so. He's never been top-10 in targets. He played 195 more snaps than Tyreek Hill but got 26 less targets.

Tanner Hudson got more targets than Chase in the Houston loss. Sample and Irwin combined had more targets too. Don't try to outsmart yourself by using subpar players at the cost of neglecting your best ones.

That shit needs to be scrapped forever.

The old let’s use AJ Green as a decoy in a playoff game strategy.

Jake's ceiling is still below a mediocre Burrow. His floor is against an elite defense he cant even be a game manager.

Damn....we played Houston and KC close, who dog walked their opposition this weekend.

"You have a young top-5 pick WR who has been a 2nd Team All-Pro. Do you.... 
A. Find ways to pass him the ball even more while he has forward momentum.
B. Say well shucks they are taking him away and throw a ton of telegraphed screens behind the LoS and have him run the ball because 15 carries for 23 yards has to work out eventually, right?"

Yes, but then couch coaches will be complaining we are forcing the ball to Chase....

I have been thinking the same thing also! If Boyd can hang on to the ball, we beat Houston possibly.

alot of ifs in that Texans game.. Boyd drop, or Boyd just missing a TD catch and run, Burrow 2 picks in 4th quarter, sack on Burrow inside 10 on 1st and goal, stop Texans on 3rd down with 1 min left etc..
