Minn's passing game looks poor at the moment, but he still found ez twice, with one being called back on a weird reversal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Brown Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Here is a proactive pessimistic one.... Ezekiel Elliot in PPR leagues. I'm not dumping him by any means, and I'm for sure starting him...but...Last year, Elliott totaled 95 targets in 15 games. Through two weeks this season, he’s only been targeted four times. The new O coordinator system, through the first two games, isn't giving him near as much PPR value as he had last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilthorp Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Corey F'n Davis. I have seen enough. He just isn't good at all. Kerryon Johnson had better pick it up too. Mike Evans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd hope that Elliot's involvement in the passing game becomes more prioritized than someone like Derrick Henry and Aaron Jones, by week 3 or so.

First 8 weeks averages: tagets=5.125 rec=3.625 last 7 weeks averages: tagets=7.7 rec=6.85 Targets up 2.5 and rec up 3.2 per game in second half. That's huge.

Limiting his reps and touches. They want him carrying the ball and there is no need to give him extra hits catching when you have a nice stable of WR's. He will be needed when defenses get stingy in about a week from Sunday. By then he will be full go for a full load and you will he rollin........

The data seems to indicate that throwing the ball to the RBs isn't a big part of the offensive scheme so far.

The data seems to indicate that throwing the ball to the RBs isn't a big part of the offensive scheme so far. Why show any part of the arsenal to the 3 teams you can beat with just a portion of it. Like i said, there are some very stingy defenses coming up that you just can't do anything to and expect to gain yards like the first 3 we face. I would argue that we have seen but a tip of the Iceberg so to speak where 2/3 of the offense has yet to be seen. We will need to use some nuances for the likes of N.O., Rams, Eagles, and especailly N.E. where I suspect they won't be able to just run right, run left and gain 5 to 8 a pop because those teams have some really good front 7's. That's when you will see Zeke out in space to mix it up some. I could see Zeke with at least 5 catches a game out of the backfield starting week 4. I don't think we have seen Pollards role at all yet and I suspect he has some plays up his sleave also. I haven't seen any of the routes he ran in training camp yet. There is a lot more to this offense yet to see with the passing game using the running backs. Edited September 20, 2019 by Cowboyz1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not talking about Red, I'm talking about Moore. Although I believe red deserves more credit than he gets when it comes to team building and putting people in the right places to succeed. Moore's father was a coach and he's been crunching defenses for a long time now. I think we are seeing a great mind at work with this offense.
