That's what I was thinking the other day.  I like Lemon, he's a good WR, will make big 3rd down catches, will move the chains.  But if he's the only open guy that we're throwing to 10 times per game, we're probably not scoring much.  He's just not the playmaker go-to type.  Not that there's anything wrong with that.
 
It doesn't surprise me that the #'s you pull support this.
 
If teams are going to go all out to take Sales out of the game, we need to figure out a way to get Sales back into the game.  Much like what Minnesota did with Decker back in 2009.  1st half he was doubled most of it, had the one big catch in tight coverage, that was it.  2nd half they moved him all around, slot, outside, and he had a great 2nd half.
 
We had no answer for how Minnesota played Sales.  Shouldn't work like that, otherwise good WRs would never have big games.  Just scheme them!  Maybe it was on Sales himself, who saw himself being doubled and just didn't give the full effort thinking he was being taken out of the offense.  Who knows.  But short of Deion Sanders covering him one on one for the entire game, there's just no reason that he wasn't involved in the offense until the very end.
