Unpopular opinion - WRs

Kind of.

We ran it on 1st down from just outside the 20, and Martinez had a decent run.

2nd down was a horrific drop from Horton. Ball hit him directly in the chest on a dead run, at worst it’s first and goal from inside the 10, always a chance he runs though a tackle and scores. Really gross drop, so yes, that cost us for sure.

3rd down we get a PI on a pass that X scores on if they dont interfere.

Then cam makes a terrible decision on 1st down on a slant to George, the ball goes into the air and should’ve been picked but hits the turf, Jacolby does what Jacolby does and takes a totally selfish penalty, and that’s basically all she wrote. Don’t have much in the playbook for 2nd and goal from the 23.

Good points.

Do you remember if the PI on X was on one of those rub/pick routes we ran a lot in and around the red zone last year? If so, that's kind of my point: without a #1 outside WR we're reliant on creatively scheming guys open, which is harder to do the closer we get to the end zone, and there's diminishing returns on those schemes when the OC repeats them.

I don't think it's necessary to have someone like J. Smith who can score on the outside from anywhere on the field, although it would be nice. Someone who can win on the sideline in the red zone is pretty close to necessary, IMO. Physically Moore fits best in that role this year if he's ready. Perhaps Daniels could help out there too.

How did our WR room cost us the Syracuse game? Did you even watch the game?

The defense cost us the game.

However, even with the ****** defense, we could have won.
2 WR plays played in a big part of the loss.

OP may well be a prophet.
