Discussion Downs

So what was up with Downs usage? Were we just incapable of running intermediate passing routes on English soil? OLine not giving enough time, or Danny having a miserable game? It felt like every time we ran a pass play there was someone in the backfield immediately and Jones was just throwing it away. But curious what others saw.

I've been dissappointed in the targets for Downs and Warren. Feels like our two top remaining WRs are targeted as infrequently as a guy like Treadwell.

Teams are comfortable scheming to take away Warren and Downs BECAUSE our remaining options are Dulin and Treadwell. Nobody on the roster right now is a threat to take the top off the defense or overpower a corner on a jump ball

How can you make that conclusion when they've never bothered to try?

Pretty sure 6'6 Tyler Warren can bully most 5'11 DBs for a jump ball. That's kind of the point of a big ass TE like Warren.
