Sooo…we ready to give Billy G props for how the WR’s are coming on?

Sorry I mis-read the title. Yes props!

 

To the OP, it is amazing how much better receivers look with better QB play. And to that, the play calls are beginning to work well. Methinks it is Mertz feeling a lot better playing with this group of players.

As to Jackson and his "wideout skills", I always say that a player is NOT a sum total of the individual parts. It is how they put it all together during a game. Jackson is plainly a LOT better as a whole. Unless your plan is to have a couple of track sprinters on the outside to pull the safeties away from middle of the field, how your overall skill works against a defender determines whether you will succeed or not. He looks like a wideout to me.

 

Russ Callaway coaches the Tight Ends.

 

He's a huge upgrade from the last guy... for sure.

 

Per the late late Raider HBC "Speed kills, in the famous words of ultimate Raider Al Davis. You can't teach speed, he said. Everything else in the game can be taught, but speed is a gift from God."
