Yeah I can definitely appreciate that - I agree on a lot of those points. I think the underlying cause is the belief that they can get similar blocking production with a significantly greater threat in the PA pass. If you think as the alternative as being a jumbo package with 3 TEs, you're going to still have a DB setting the edge and playing near the box regardless. They must think that Noah B's ability to beat that DB in the PA passing game, an area we really need to be productive in to help out our QB, is more valuable than the gap between him and Jarwin / Rico, etc are giving in the blocking game.
Brown against Seattle
4 targets 1 catch 6 yards 1 INT when thrown to
We have some players who are actual threats out wide. None of them are named Noah.
I suppose that's what they must be thinking. They just seem very wrong to me.
Brown is probably 2nd from the bottom of "I wouldn't be worried about him". Only guy I'b be less worried about is Schulz. Jarwin has actually had a big game. And Frico can make a play if you chuck it up to him. We've actually seen it, though in preseason. I can't anything too interesting out of Rico.
One thing I'll say for Noah. I don't see why he can't run a reverse or a jet sweep. He's a thick fellow. He seems physical with the ball in his hands. Let him have it. He could fake a jet sweep for misdirection, or fake one and get a running start as a lead blocker.
I like my fabulous idea to get Noah involved in the run game. Add that dimension, and that makes him more of a problem for the defense.
