but his stats could be even better. Last week for example I do not even think he was targeted more than once. Last night, we seemed to go away from him a bit in the second half.
would have been better in second half if we stayed out of shot gun more and went two TE's and play action. The later in the game we went the more we went away from what was working in first half to keep from turning the ball over.
Can't play scared all season but made sense here with such inexperience in the lineup and on very little practice time.
to be Tony Gonzalez right out of the starting gate....Tony Gonzalez wasn't even Tony Gonzalez right out of the starting gate......
It will take awhile for him to develop.....surprised Denver did not lock on him, since he was our only passing weapon....
All we can expect from him, is steady improvement as the season progresses, which will not be easy, because he will be a marked man from this point on, as the only receiving weapon on this team....

Sheppard will be back.
Can anyone comment on how his blocking has been? Â
From what I've seen it's been pretty solid. I've seen a few big runs where he contained his man well, and don't recall too many plays that were blown up by his missed blocks.
He looks really good out there running routes for sure....but would love to see him sent on more deep patterns/seam routes.
Very impressive. A main priority for the rest of this season is to continue to target him frequently and get him more comfortable. He's an asset moving forward
He's a Wide Receiver. The only things he's good at are when he is split out or in an "H"/Wing setup.
He can't run block whatsoever so let's just call it how it is and say hes a solid big bodied WR with a lot of promise. Drops too many easy balls, but can make great catches.
PFF ranked as the #51 Tight End in the league. He can't block at all.

It goes without saying that defenses from here on out will be paying enormous attention to him. I think he will respond to the challenge.
Vereen, Engram, & Ellison - underneath to intermediate
Lewis & King - intermediate to deep
If Lewis and King are running 9 routes and comebacks outside the numbers all day, that's fine.
Look around the league...there are tons of big passing plays to non-star WRs.
This group isn’t good. I don’t see how they can be leaned on. And King is a veteran, so there is very little excuse.
It would be nice if they develop but gotta think they will be easily covered in the time Eli has to throw.
This offense should be lining up every down with Engram, Ellison, and a running back. That's where we're going to make our money.
