I think the lid is about to come off the offense. You don't spend this much money and picks on QBs and WRs (not to mention a great pass catching RB) to not chuck the ball. Should be exciting. Now we just need CJ or Griffin to step up.

You want me to post every game? You'll watch them all? A single horrible game accurately demonstrates his crappy hands with context. Certainly less silly that showing highlight reels.

That's how I see him as well. I'm completely fine with that. But I will be monitoring Treadwells career. I feel he will become a star.

Bubble screens, bubble screens, bubble screens. Everyone keeps talking about blowing the top off the secondary, but I see him running a bunch of underneaths, quick slants and bubble screens.
Screens and slants become really, really effective weapons when you drag a safety with you 20+ yards down the field to cover.
Between him and Miller, it's going to be explosive. I'm expecting it be one of the highest scoring teams in the NFL.

We still got Nuk that can do that, hes no slouch on demanding doubles. Itll be fun to mix and match all these weapons throughout the season.
He's not very good at bubble screens because despite his speed, he's not very elusive. Now, that said, he's pretty good at slant routes and if his route running improves, he could be very good at things like that. He's not going to make contested catches and he's not going to break many tackles or make many people miss, but he can straight up out run people and that's how he needs to be used.

I expect Strong to take a leap forward this year too. We may end up with the best receiving corps in the NFL within the next two seasons. Contrast that with what we threw out next to 'Dre. We really should give him a one year deal to make up for the terrible teams he played for.

Catching is absolutely something that can be improved upon. Obviously, some people just have a higher ceiling when it comes to their catching ability, but skills can definitely be taught more than speed.
The problem with that is that he's probably not good enough at this point to make the team out of camp, why embarrass him further?
