If the o line can hold up I think this passing game can win some games

Johnson is outstanding... Except when he tries to get too many extra yards and has a knack for fumbling. Can't hate the effort but man feels like it's been half a dozen times over the last couple years

That’s a big arse if. They’ve shown no sign of being a capable unit. Banks returning will help, but damn they’ve been our weakest link all year.


As for receivers and TEs;

Tyson is an unknown. He’s injury prone, on a snap count and fumbled on his first catch. He needs to prove he can play and be available.

Olave is really good. Vele is good. Brown is good. Lance is a willing blocker?

Johnson has been really good since Shough has been starting. Fant is good and probably underutilized. Delp is okay as a rotational guy.


I’m worried that Shough has regressed some. There were guys open last week and he took off running instead of looking for his receiver. But that goes back to the offensive line being terrible in the run game and pass game.

Johnson has a passer rating of 139.2 when targeted. He is catching the ball when targeted. No drops. He is about 18 in targets.

Kellen stopped targeting him for a few games, another knock against our coach

That is a really good top 3.

Lol

Vele & Johnson in games the saints are leading: 2 catches, 11 yards.

These dudes are nothing when they aren’t padding stats when the game flow is tilted. ESP Johnson. Vele is a passable WR3.

Really good top 3 is wild even for you chalky

I guess the overtime TD to Johnson doesn’t count because it was tied

Also, 1 score games at halftime isn’t tilting game flow that much.

Shough can’t target them with a broken hand
