The Random Thought Thread

Odell just doesn’t have the ability to play on the outside anymore full time. He’s a slot guy now but unfortunately it’s tough when you have Andrews and Agholor who are pretty much slot guys as well. Bateman seems like the lone outside guy and Flowers seems to play every where whether is X, Z, or slot. I just think soon Odells role is going to contunue to reduce due to the fact that it’s just not feasible to have him on the outside.

Hate to say it like this but it’s not surprising. Dude has had 2 torn ACLs and with the Rams he was most effective in the slot, but averaged 40 yards per game. He wasn’t a game breaker by any means. He hasn’t been for a long time now, at this point i’m just hoping he makes a similar impact for us that he was able to make for L.A.

Nelson Agholor has had some good years by playing mainly as an outside wr. I think they should move Odell inside and move Nelson Agholor outside in our offense. Nelson has had 114 snaps on the outside this year vs 146 in the slot.

Odell is much more of a chain mover and YAC weapon at this point. We definitely are using him wrong. He has suddenness still to separate but he doesn’t separate as much and doesn’t maintain separation for as long. His time with the rams showed this theory very well, frankly we should be using him on a lot more slants and in’s and outs and drags as a more physical kinda receiver, it’s a natural progression a lot of top receivers make as they age.

Or even just having him run some of the over route type stuff we get mark to do rather than having him run the go
 
For 4th and short, I'd love to see Ricard take snaps under center for a sneak.

Also, I'm curious to see how Mitchell is as a route runner and in pass protection. Fuck screens, but if he's a viable pass catcher and we can get him in space, that adds another dimension to this offense.

Ricards too big a target, you need someone strong but can squeeze through tight spaces.

Lamar would be ideal because he’s so slippery but he has a lot of trouble holding the ball in goal line situations.
