Howard is getting more than 30. What he does with them is very much TBD, but he’s going to get the opportunities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topwop1 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Meredith was a likable guy, we all get that. Everyone loved the fact that he was a local kid who beat long odds to make an NFL roster and that he flashed a little bit during his brief amount of playing time with this team, but this is a business and these decisions are usually made with the team's best interests in mind for both the short and long term. Kudos to Meredith and I wish him the best the rest of his playing career. Time to move on folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not think he is going to see a huge uptick in that number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you need someone to be targeted about 4 times a game. 4 times a game is not insignificant. My guess is that Shaheen ends up around the 5 targets a game and we are not trying to reduce his value. At this moment we do not have a player to fill that role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WindyCity Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I think we will see something like the following, this is just based on the Chiefs last season as a rough guideline Total Targets: 540 [There was a slight uptick in pass attempts when Nagy took over as playcaller] TE: 171 Burton-91 Shaheen-80 *Something close to an even split with a few more going to Burton. RB: 114 Cohen-80 Howard-34 *Howard was not targeted more than this in an offense that threw the ball to the RB more than the Chiefs. I think he might be a 1-2 target a week guy. WR: 255 Robinson-125 [Would put him in the top 12 and would be the most targets by a WR from the Reid coaching tree] Gabriel- 75 [Average of the last couple of seasons of the 2nd most targeted WR] 55 targets for someone.

Targets that Cohen gets out of the slot or when split out wide I do not consider to be “RB targets”. On that play he’s a WR. Also re: Howard’s targets, he had 50 the year before (pre-Cohen) and only played a significant role in 13 games. Loggains was also dreadful at using the screen game. Nagy isn’t.

Nagy isn’t. If you give Howard 50 and give Cohen some in the slot you are still going to need a #3 WR that can handle some volume. That is assuming that everyone stays healthy. If Gabriel gets hurt then you need to find someone to handle 6 targets a game in addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
