3rd WR

[BASF]

It's going to be a huge need this off-season.

I am not saying that this offseason is going to see a huge need for WR2 with Lockett's cap hit being over $16M, but I think people may need to consider the possibility.

you're not wrong, but also one of the reasons it is so effective is that it creates mismatches. In 13 personnel, you have 4 really large dudes who are fast and can catch. Lockett is the shorty out there. Not many teams have the defensive players to match up with that. Mismatches open up more plays no matter what you've seen on tape.

Absolutely THIS^^
Watching the "Tape" is the EASY part, formulating a Defensive scheme that's ABLE to stop the multi-prong attack that is IMPROVING as the season wears on? NOT so "Easy"

If you want to win a championship, you must have positive mismatches.

I hope you’re correct. I’ve seen evidence to support your point of view

Today feels like a game that the #3 wr is really missing, especially on 3rd down.

I think WR3 will be addressed in the off season. It is a big part of the offense that Waldron wants to run. Having a WR3 that is competent and can be set in motion offers a lot of mismatches.

The starting offensive gameplan was awful and our defense played like crap other than a few good plays here and there. We had enough talent to win this game.

Maybe a late round pick… or FA.

But next draft, we need to focus on the D-Line and a LBer. I’m actually hoping our first four picks are of that type…
