It might be an 11P formation, but where everyone lines up, what their route might be, blocking assignments; audible mods, etc. change every time. Andy literally never calls the same play in a game. And his play sheet is the largest n the business by about 75+ plays per game.
It’s likely these young unproven WRs will have brain farts here and there initially, just as Skyy did last season. Maybe even more than one player on the same play, the if we’re going to put Rice/Justyn/Skyy or any combination of new/young receivers out there at the same time. Just as our young defensive players last season had ups and downs, so will our new/young receivers.

You'd have a legit argument if these were all first year guys, and not that four of them are now in year two of this offense. There will be LESS confusion for all in your top 5 guys other than Rice than last year, with absolutely no legitimate reason to think otherwise besides general pessimism or pining for Deandre Hopkins.
