Let's also not forget that it was Schotty's first year as the OC so he didn't know the whole playbook. I expect a lot better production out of the offense this year with route trees
We can only hope.
We've drafted a swiss army knife in John Ursua. Let's hope the team figures out how to use a Julian Edelman type of player. Sadly I'm sure Pete and Schotty will be over enamored with Metcalf's speed and call innumerable go routes and never take advantage of the soft zones underneath.
You've got speed all over this WR corp now, so I have no doubt Pete, Russell and Schotty will figure out how to take advantage of Metcalf, Jennings, Brown and Lockett's speed.
Might look ugly at first, WR might be the worst position as far as biggest learning curve, especially if you want the receivers to work in the slot where there's more blocking schemes and precision required.
But I REALLY like this WR corp, even without Doug. Jennings is my dark horse, 4.4 speed, quick, smart. I expect him to be further ahead than Metcalf come pre-season game time.
