...Been dining on my sweet, succulent crow for quite some time now.
I've not had any, and won't be. I was pretty open minded when it came to this season. I was hoping for 6-10 or 8-8, so this has been a pleasant surprise.
The guy I'm a Teeeeeeeny tiny bit disappointed in of late has been McCluster. He just kinda dropped off after coming back from the injury. But he's a rookie, and there's time.
I think we still haven't completely decided how to use him, yet. I'd like us to try more WR screens to him, though our WR screens have a tendency to be nightmares (and I am not sure why). Also, I'd like to see us use his speed vertically to take some more shots down the field.
That may be a good point. He didn't seem like he had the same explosion on that third down strike he caught from Cassel in the last game. He sort of turned it up and got what he could. Earlier in the year he made a similar play but turned it into a 31-yard TD.
I am really curious to see what we do with McCluster in the long-term. I would like to see him and Charles alternating in the backfield, although I know we brought him in to be more of a slot receiver. I love with Jones brings to the table in terms of work ethic and leadership but I think the running games suffers when he is in there because he has lost a step. If he loses another this off-season he won't be much good to us in 2012.
I dont think Jones lost a step so much as everyone knows we are gonna pund it up the middle when he is in. Jones always seems to be hitting the holes in the middle and they are plugged up.
