What was missing from last year's WR room that we had in years past?
At this point I kind of hate harping on it, but Pat and Andy really miss Sammy. And last year it showed multiple times, but most glaringly in the AFCCG. That high shell D almost makes Hill a non-factor, and then it's double Travis, and doing everything and anything to slow his release at the snap. Last year none of our other receivers could get open on time, be in the right spot, and catch the ball, which is why we traded Hill for a set of much more talented WR3s and 4s.
But we're still missing that Sammy (or Hill if you prefer) type guy. Skyy could develop into something like that, or Toney would be an even better solution to that problem. Or maybe it's somebody else. But it's not JuJu, MVS or Justin. They're decent, and JJSS probably has a permanent place on the team going forward, but about all you can say about Justin and MVS is that they are more talented than what we had last year in Pringle, DRob, etc.
Need a guy to take the top off the D (I like Hardman in this role) and another Sammy type of WR that can run all the short/intermediate stuff opposite Kelce. i like Toney there, but think Sky could fill in there if he develops as he should.
Whatever. We're missing a key piece. Someone's got to grow into that role before the playoffs.
