For nearly the entire season, they were the only receiving options that could get open consistently. I'm really not sure what you've been watching. Honestly for most of the season Fuller and Hopkins have been "trash"
I feel like brock tries to pad his stats with the checkdowns. Overall this offense is bad. Team needs a scheme that compliments the personnel.
Osweiler hasn't changed at all. Any pressure whatsoever turns his accuracy to zero. And he loves to attempt those over the top passes to the sideline but cannot for the life of him keep the ball inbounds.
They are open to catch short passes but they are not threats to kill a defense and when you have weak qb play your tight ends need to be that. Fuller and Hopkins are better at their position then these slowmo tight ends they have that are irrelevant against true competition.
I think Mcgloin beat us before in houston a while back. How many field goals do we have to kick to win?
They are catching short and intermediate passes, you know, exactly what good TE's do. Hopkins and Fuller aren't even good for that most of the season. The WR position has been one of the biggest disappointments of the season.
It's a testament to how short of healthy DB bodies they are that Robert Nelson is still on the team, much less on the field.
The best they can do is catch and get tackled and go down with this qb and oline play. We need more athleticism in those positions.
