The biggest mysteries to me are West and Wales.

West had 42 catches last season.  He can get open against D1 talent.  I would have expected him to improve over last season; not regress.  What happened?

The same applies to Wales, who had 35 catches last season.

With Wales, I see little to indicate the staff is even trying to get him the ball.  Those short crossing patterns over the middle that were his bread and butter seem to be missing from this scheme.  But we should keep in mind that Wales appeared to be hurt, and I think he has been hurt all season.  Right now, I think he is a shadow of his normal self.  Hope he gets better soon; it not only affects our passing game but our running game; he has evolved into a fine blocking TE as well.

With West, there is no question they are trying to get the ball to him, but he is just not getting open.  It is really strange; West had a terrific spring game and looked primed for a big year in 2013.

I don't think they moved him to a different WR role (i.e. the slot).  Is he just confused by the new plays and terminology?  Just doesn't pair well with Hunt or Allen?  Maybe he is hurt as well.

I am mystified by what I see on gameday from him.
