It's not even about his production. After he got back from his injury his production has actually been fine. I'm not one of those who wants ungodly numbers from him to think he's showing promise. But I do want to see him beat his man off the release on he outside. I do want him to win some contested balls and show body control and good hands. My problem with him right now is that ... he just... doesn't win his reps really. He needs his man to get stuck in traffic or for a defensive breakdown to happen in order to make stuff happen. Just an example - look at what Claypool is doing. Look at what Ceedee Lamb is doing... I couldn't care less if he ends the year with 400 yards and 2TDs... It's not what this is about... it's about me wanting to see some flashes of what he could become with development. So yeah, sure... I absolutely agree with you that it's still early in his career and there is time for him to get better and develop, but we still can watch what he's doing now and where he's struggling and evaluate that. IMO he's struggling with pretty much every single aspect of playing X-receiver. Which is why Reich started using him a ton in the slot after his injury. This is not a coincidence. The jump in production coicides perfectly with Reich moving him inside to the slot and scheming things for him. -
Rattle on about your interpretation about what's going on, rather than your knowledge of it. Why are babbling about something irrelevant, like hindsight? There was no looking back. There is no hindsight. The trade up for Lewis was criticized immediately when it happened. My thought yesterday merely triggered a 2.5 year old memory. It wasn't a new thought based on hindsight. If you don't know that, you're not qualified to comment about the situation or about me. Let it go, because you've revealed you ignorance on the matter. And it was a one sentence comment at the end of a five sentence paragraph. It was a side comment. It wasn't a deal until you made it one. Do us a favor. Smarten up, or get out. -
I think strong side DE plays more snaps for us than weak side DE with more run stopping responsibilities like Sheard and Houston. I am not sure if that is a systematic conscious approach or something that happened by chance. In other words, they want a few jacks who do only 1 trade on a rotational basis instead of 1 jack that does several trades for the weak side DE position. However the hit percentage seems to be low so far with several dart opportunities at the draft board. That approach only works if those jacks do jack but if they don't do jack, who the jack is won't matter. -
The plant-toe should primarily affect his ability to throw deep. I don't see how it changes anything about the offensive game plan.

First, I should say you're seeing dramatically more than I am. I've only seen a few games, and then hi-lites from most of the others. Second, I should say what I often say with you. That I admire your view and your judgement highly. Always have. All that said... I think you're making far too much out of far too little. I think expectations for all our rookies are outsized based on who they were.... but without the benefit of a normal off-season, and without 4 pre-season games, and then all the games Pittman lost due to injury, I think expectations remain unrealistically too high. Same with Taylor and others. I'd cut Pittman lots of slack and not worry too much about what we're seeing until roughly a year from now. Seriously. I still think of Pittman's future as incredibly bright. But maybe that's just me?
