I just wonder why they're not going to him more? Kid is a stud athlete and he needs to be used

He needs to be used..but needs to be used effectively..not the same dang play over and over with him.

when he does get the ball...everyone in the stadium knows he is. they need to be a little more creative in getting the ball in his hands.

Florida was definitely keying on him when he touched it.

JL should be able to get him more touches because he throws the WR screens a lot better than JJ.

They should also run more of the read option with him and JJ without being in reverse form most of the time because we're good with that and Shep is dangerous on that type of play.

Honestly, he hasn't really produced on any of his touches in the last few games. I'm pulling for him, but his touches have been wasted plays recently.

I'm just not sure at this point. Stud playmakers make plays when given their opportunity. I would like to see him used a bit more effectively but he's not a very good receiver right now. He still appears to be kinda weak. He's not making the most of his present opportunities. I'm a bit disappointed in how he's used but also dissappointed in him some also.

Because he doesn't break tackles and he drops too many passes.

We have Ridley at RB.

Randle and TT at WR.

Questions?

He has struggled at reciever but they need to get creative and find some way to get him involved more. I'd hate to lose all that talent over the next couple of years when we know what he's capable of. He can really be a difference maker

they actually used him as a decoy on a play or two for some nice completions. So while he doesn't get stats for those plays, he did play a nice roll in a few good plays.

HE CANT CATCH. All you can run with him are sweeps and options. His best asset is that people have to pay attention to him every time he is on the field.

Don't know if this is him, or if this is the result of not being more creative in using his talent. To me right now, he's mostly just filling the niche of Trindon Holliday. I'd like to see something more for him and from him. Hopefully that will happen in time.
