Landry was 9th in least average air yards per target. Of the top 10, 6 were TEs and 6 had a better catch rate...
Landy? one of the best players in the league? He's not even a top 10 WR...
And who’s fault is this. They couldnt run for a while and he was forced to catch bubble screens because Parker was hurt and Still doesnt do that. My OP was because our lack of offensive ingenuity has caused this dilemma w Landry. Landry easily can be a 10-12 yards per catch guy because of how other slot Wrs are used. But everyone here is blind to the ineptitude of the offense. Get a better line and qb, call better plays. In TC, Landry was part of the “595/Turnpike” crossroads in Davie. He was catching balls 15 yards up. He wasn’t catching screens.Landry was 9th in least average air yards per target. Of the top 10, 6 were TEs and 6 had a better catch rate...
I fault Gase and his hardheadedness with that Bubble Screen to Landry all of the damn time. While he can break tackles you clearly saw you needed more quickness with the ****ty blocking on this team. My guess is those 1 yard passes put a huge dent into that number.
I believe he was rated as a top 3 redzone WR this year, which lord knows we have needed that. Haven't had a player like that since Brandon Gibson's first year with the team in 2013.
I don't blame Gase, I've seen plenty of other teams run bubble screens and have much success. The problem is that our players don't block them very well, starting with the other WR's. And the fact that we don't have a consistent enough intermediate to deep passing game so DB's just sit on that short stuff. I'm surprised Landry was able to gain over 900 yards with the lack of a running game and deep passing game that we had this year.
Tannehill was the 3rd most accurate long ball passer in 2016, how much more of an effective QB could you replace him with to throw deep to Landry? LOLThere's a reason Landry is not being targeted deep... If your argument to this is that Gase is an idiot, then there's not much we can argue about... Landry is being fed the ball as a TE/RB. My argument is that it's the only thing he can do efficiently. There is absolutely no way to prove that he can't read a defense properly or that he doesn't know the playbook as much as he should, but it would explain alot of things.
I agree, but you at least saw with Grant that his quickness allowed those plays to have more success as his start and go and ability to make people miss, plus break tackles suprisingly was a much more effective tool than having Juice wait for blocks and try to make guys miss and break all the tackles.
Glad Gase adjusted there later in the season.
you are in good companyI got one line further...shame on me.
