Beckett Wales

[anomander]

I know many, including myself, were expecting a big season from him. I know he got banged up against Northwestern, but was back last week. Through the first 3 games he has 1 catch for 10 yards, in comparison to last year through 3 games he had 11 catches 100 yards. The problem is he doesn't even seem to be targeted. Does GMac's offense target the TE that little? I could have attributed it Allen locking in on his primary target since the TE is usually some sort of check down, but I can't recall Hunt looking his way that much vs Wagner either. I was planning on seeing Wales being our 2nd or 3rd leading receiver. It seems we are wasting a proven, valuable weapon. I'd be curious to know if he is more injured then anyone knows?

Was just going to post the same thing, 1 catch, TE's have a total of 7 between four different guys, and Moore has four of them.

WR's have 34, HB's have 24. Over all really nice of job of distributing the ball and getting a lot of guys involved, but TE could be more of a weapon. Also the backs only have 8.

There's nothing wrong with working the seam with the TE, the pop pass was a huge weapon last year off of the zone read.

Agree completely. Some big plays off this the past 2 years. Isn't that how Moore scored his TD this year? I know it was a quick dump up the seam, but did it come off the read option?

More Jerome more Beckett for sure. These screen plays are going to be blown up versus the better teams if they don't start working the middle of the field more.

I was surprised top see him out there against Wagner and he still looked a bit gimpy.

Beckett's lost receptions and targets are going to Broyld. We did not have an H back last year.
