Have to remember he had a MCL sprain/bone bruise, suffered week 1.Jake just looked uninspiring last season. He appeared to be lazy on his routes and not great blocking either. He better be better or this staff will replace him. No free lunch. Watch out for this udfa kid Fairweather. He might sneak up on folks and make the team and eventually push for meaningful reps.
While he did come back later in the early part of the season, most guys come back not at 100%, but enough to try to not lose their role.
not going to make excuses for him, as I too thought he took a step back, but I also feel like that knee injury definitely hampered him.
Remember at first it was thought he could play vs the Saints in week 2, but ended up missing a few weeks.
