His pace is absolutely insane after the 1st two games, but that chemistry with Shough is real. Him being that wide open on the touchdown yesterday, being used as a possession wr in spots as well, etc.

I think hes got a legit shot at 110 catches and 1500 yds this year. Our schedule is pretty damn light and the south is terrible.

He can do a lot of things if he can play 17 games

Absolutely but we are also rooting for Tyson to maybe get his 600-750 yd type season and share the load when he comes back. Dynamic group we have.

He absolutely can. Skill was never an issue for him. It was always health. His poor injury history made him play more scared in the past but the end of last year and so far this year he seems to be playing with a lot more confidence.

Hes played 15, 16, 8, and 16 games in his 4 years. 3 of those years over 1000 yards. I dont get why everyone always brings this up.

He’s left a handful of games and has been on the injury report a ton as well. There’s a huge difference in 1000 yards and 1500. Being healthy is a non negotiable if you want to crack 1500 yards

3 of those are with Carr as QB. Carr is removed from the team, and suddenly he's staying healthy.

The best part I've noticed about his connection with shough, while it also might be play calling, some of these routes aren't putting him in harms way.

These over the middle passes where a safety will come and thump him seem less. These 7 routes and out routes seem to be in scenarios he can avoid contact immediately or at least had a chance to brace. I think that part can't be overlooked. He's the #2 receiver in yards right now.

JSN is freaking unreal.

Seattle has 435 passing yards as a team. JSN has 277 receiving yards

If Olave had 63.7% of the Saints receiving yards he would be at 422 yards

If he hits 1500 yd, I promise to never make fun of the protection cap again
