Shep was becoming one of JJ's favorite targets especially on slants. Mett seems to like the intermediate to deep routes run by OBJ and Landry.



He was getting the short stuff his first couple of years, then everything seemed to move downfeild for him. Just wasn't a fit with his talent.

Even before the season started, it looked as if Mett had developed the closest relationship with OBJ and Landry. I believe Shep was close with JJ and Mathieu but I'm not 100% sure. This sort of stuff happens even in the NFL. A new QB comes in and then all of a sudden, the team's leading WR is no longer the same guy.

Shep caught 12 passes in 2011. 4 went for TDs. 3 of those were screens. thought that we'd see more of that this past yr.
