He'll be fine. If he's still just getting two targets after the bye, then I'd be concerned. Otherwise, he's going to gradually pick up targets and as i said before, he'll be a starting WR no later than week 10 or 11. [Reply]

But we do know that Andy makes every WR learn every route tree. This offense doesn't have designated spots like some others.
That and Pittsburgh is an absolute tire fire for offense.
Matt Canada might be the least creative OC in football. I have zero respect for him, and I'm continually shocked that Tomlin and the organization keeps sticking by him. [Reply]

To some degree this seems unnecessarily dogmatic, no?
I get that having versatility is a great thing. And you want to be able to do some 'next man up' stuff when someone gets hurt.
But when Hardman is in his 4th year and still doesn't seem like someone who's gonna grasp the X role or the offense needs help on the backside in the worst way and you've got Moore out there running Z routes in practice...aren't you missing the forest for the trees a bit?
I understand the long-term benefits here, but maybe just focus on making sure that you have guys that are really good at their primary function as quickly as possible BEFORE you have them dabbling in their backup functions.
Reps and practice time are limited lads - lets get Moore up to speed on that Y position as quickly as possible. Then try to get him involved as the X and see where it takes us. But having him out there splitting his time between all 3 and/or saying he isn't ready for a full load until he can play all 3 positions credibly just seems unnecessary. [Reply]

I don't necessarily disagree but I also don't think this is ever going to change. [Reply]
