Great job by Nuk. Here's to hoping we see a lot more of these coming his way this season. Schaub and Kubiak have to make a concerted effort to get him the ball, because good things happen when it goes in his direction.
Most consistent rookie on offense for this month, imagine if they actually schemed to try getting him the ball.
do we have any statistics on how many targets he has to date versus catches. I am sure he is catching at least 50 percent of the balls or more thrown his way.

The only time i wished he was more of a Diva. I think if he complained more Schaub would look his way. People think that Hopkins is just not getting separation, in actuality Schaub already has his mind made up where he is going before the ball is snapped and it's not to Hopkins. Hopkins is definitely learning from the best, AJ. Even if he knows he isnt being thrown to like he should, he still goes out there business as usual. Great Attitude.
Watch the tape. Hop was getting good separation against Browner and Sherman. The only issue though, was that it would take him a bit longer than Dre because he was having trouble via press off the LOS.
Also though that Schaub is always going to look Andre's way and look to getting Andre the ball first. That's just how he is. He's not Brady, Manning, Brees who can go through their progressions at near lightning speed. Great thing about those QBs is they hold no prejudice towards their WRs, they see a guy open and the ball is coming that way.
I don't understand this. Nuk has obviously demonstrated his natural ability from DAY ONE. Why in the world is he not getting more plays designed for him?
He's on pace for a 1,000 yard season? So it's not like he's never getting the ball. Usually when you pass the ball, unless it's a short screen play or something you're not designing these plays for the ball to go to any one person. It's who gets open first and who the QB thinks he can get the ball too. Sure guys like Andre are running the key routes, but if Martin is open for a first down then that's who the ball should go to. Andre has been a huge security valve for Schaub for years now, I don't see how that's going to change this season.
