Saw that too.

They’re new faces right now, defenses will figure out they’re just on the field to block and/or as decoys.

Baltimore's defense has been bad all year. Need to remember that as well.

#1 they block because they aren’t 5’8 170 pound midgets

#2 they are professionals who run their routes with effort even when they are designed just to be decoy routes. They don’t run George Pickens half-assed loaf routes

#3 they will be where the QB expects them. That’s why MVS is here. He’s a professional that the QB trusts, unlike Roman Wilson who must be a complete moron.

#4 With NHALS directly threatened, the delusional fog inside Tomlins head clears and he Is somehow able to control his micromanagement impulses and let staff and players operate without constant interference. The result is a markedly changed and productive offense.

This x 1,000

How many times have we seen something or someone work and then have Tonlin completely abandoned it / them the next week.

I hope he does roll them both out again next week but I'm not holding my breath.
