I've a question.

So, we know our receivers are getting basically the least separation in the league.

Preston was coming back from injury, DeVante has been nicked all year. Hurns & Wilson opted out. So those are all factors.

My question is whether something needs to be asked of the receivers coach? Is the work on footwork not good enough? Or could our offensive scheme be causing issues?

I'm looking for people with greater understanding of the finer nuances of the game to chime in with their thoughts.

Thanks
 
We need better receivers. At the end of the day, players gotta play. Our WR core is really missing speed and our only speedy guy has issues catching.
 
Our WRs blow. Nothing a coach can do about it otherwise it woulda been done already. Parker is fine but he’s clearly not a feature WR, he needs to play off other talent around him
 
Our Wrs don’t blow but they might not be a scheme fit. We can point to our friends up North in Buffalo, they know know what they need at wr.

We need a separation threat at WR1 no matter the size, that argument is over. I need either a field stretcher or a possession guy at WR2, again though needs to get open.

Slot if I don’t have speed in WR2 I want speed in the slot. Honestly I prefer a tough guy here - Landry was a perfect fit here. Actually really like Bowden hear.

I think if he added a D Smith to the offense and a later round guy we are good in the WR group but think we should always keep churning.
 
Just like people who date other people who are "their type", every qb also has wrs who are their type. That's not to say they can't make it work with other types, but for their best results they need perticular type of wr. I get the feeling Tua's type is more of the 6'0/6'1 speed and quickness type, wrs who get in and out of their brakes fast. That's not to say every wr in the corp needs to fit that mold, but I would like to see 3 or 4 on the roster.

One of Smith/Waddle/Chase, and the return of Preston, should be enough of an upgrade for next season.
 
We’ll also have FA to spend a little dough. This is supposed to be another deep wr class

Enough to go from terrible to decent, but looking at who Miami will have to contend with, they should set a higher bar.

Exactly! I really hope the FO doesn't skimp on the offensive assets next season. I want them to get "more than enough" instead of barely.
Instead of 1 reciever get at least 3.
Instead of 1 RB get at least 2..

etc..

Investing in the position means: BUY one in FA & DRAFT one early

If JuJu/Ridely pops free and is willing to sign for under $10M and you can draft one of the Top reciever talents then you've improved the recieving corps that much more.
