You're right about receivers running wide open, but they don't get the ball. Heupel teaches his QBs to wait for the primary receiver to choose which way he will go based on coverage. While he's waiting, instead of the QB going through a progression, he never sees the 2nd or 3rd receiver wide...

Maybe with him saying something will cause Heupel to self-reflect and use his receivers to the best of THEIR abilities. He's not doing that at this point. He never has.

Name another one. Heupel tries to fit every square receiver into a round hole. Prime example is Keyton following Tillman. The go ball, with the receiver pinned to the sideline (a DBs dream) worked well for Tillman. He was good with the 50/50 ball. Keyton was not. Keyton never got the chance to...

So, who bears responsibility for bringing them in?

How? By trying to fit every receiver on the right side into the Tillman mold. Not many guys can get the 50/50 ball when they are pinned to the sideline with a DB in their faces like he could. He never used the skills of the guys who followed Tillman to the best of their abilities. When they...

I spoke specifically about his offense regarding receivers (not counting the slot). No one is saying the offense wasn't productive as your stats indicate. But if you look at the WR numbers, it's concerning. Keyton in 23 had 642 yards, McCoy in 24 had 472, and Brazzell had 323. Again, they're...

It's not a question of their intelligence. Any receiver, even a sandlot receiver can figure out which route to run based on how they're being covered. The offense itself limits both QBs and Receivers. While the receiver is figuring out which route to turn, the QB has to wait for him and not go...

I'm glad I'm not the only one that has noticed this. They're trying to fit every receiver that came after Tillman into his square hole when they are round pegs.

IMHO, part of it is Heupel's offense. The two wideouts are only running three and sometimes four-routes. That makes them somewhat predictable and severely limits their production numbers. Only one guy, Cedric Tillman, has had a 1000-yard season, not counting Jalin Hyatt, since he was in the...

Well I'll be darned! I looked high and low for the game and the only thing I found was it was supposed to be on ESPN, and it wasn't listed there (duh)! But hey, thanks!

Does anyone know how I can watch the game in Atlanta on Dish Network?

I don't think he was underrated, more so than not used to his full capabilities. At the risk of criticizing the coaching staff, they tried to fit him into the Tillman mold. Tillman's strengths were not Keyton's strengths. The Raiders are already using more of his range, and that is why he has...

He made the Rams squad! VFL!

From going undrafted to making the 53-man roster, he must have shown them something!
