Honestly I'm not too sure how realistic that is with our QB situation, but that would be a great milestone for him. pfft. he can do that in one or two plays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede700 Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 He's averaged 50 yds a game since Cousins went down...you don't think that he can boost that up to 65 with JJ back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Dobbs can hit his WR and read progressions. I’d think most of the targets will go to Jefferson and Hock. Maybe Osborn too as more of a safer underneath option.

SteelKing728 Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 I think Addison should get more favorable looks with Jefferson back. Its too bad we can't really utilize him like we were with Cousins though. That's frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Dobbs can get him the ball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had the opportunity to get himself a big paycheck next year, but likely now, he'll have to settle for a second-wave contract somewhere else during the offseason.

The QB struggles to get the ball to wide receivers. And when he does, he puts it in spot that nearly gets them killed.

SHOULDN"T be getting MOST of Dobbs' targets. I don't want to see Dobbs trying to thread the needle on throws to J.J. when he's blanketed by 2 or 3 defenders. He is just not accurate enough as a passer to get the ball in the right place in tough coverage. That would lead to more interceptions, and a lot less completions. Much better to take advantage of the new situation's taking the blanket coverage off of Addison and Hockenson, and throwing to those two, plus to Powell...... which ever of them is most wide open. Then, Dobbs' late, inaccurate throws will STILL be caught by his target receiver, because there'll be no defender close enough to get in his way, or snag the ball. Dobbs' biggest passing successes (especially in the Atlanta and New Orleans games - but also in general) have been on plays when his targeted receivers were wide open. And that will also free up J.J. for better opportunities especially for long gainers, because opposing teams would soon have have to adjust, taking one defender off him to help out vs. our other receivers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While Osborne didn't do much, Powell seemed to make the most of his opportunities. McCardell has done a really nice job coaching Powell up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelKing728 Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Addison is 176 yards away from a 1000 yard season. Will he reach that milestone with 3 games left to play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
