Every game this season, he is a danger on kick returning but you rarely hear his name on catching passes. He usually takes a reverse or a quick pass... but he rarely makes a downfield reception like Bowe or Davis. What do you guys think the problem is ?
I think an offensive play is too structured for Skyler. He is not a great route runner. This is not to take anything away from his athletic ability to make head fakes, definitive cuts, and quick decisions to create positive yardage as a kick returner.
B.S. Sky is a great route runner. His hands are his weakness as he tends to use his body. He just isn't getting in the ball game much. Miles is using the big guys instead. It's kind of a rip, too. Skyler is a Senior and should be getting some playing time. I'm not saying that Bowe, Davis, Doucet, etc, need to be benched, but Sky needs to be a bit more involved in the rotation.
That was really my point... not that Sky is overrated, but the media as well as the fans, know this guy is a game changer, but we rarely hear his name...
I think the coaching staff just hasn't found a way to get him the ball past the line of scrimmage. Every team we play knows about him on the bubble screen and prepares for it. Not sure what needs to be done to get him the ball 10 to 15 yards down field but he would be very dangerous with the ball in the defensive backfield.
Are you kidding me? He is a great route runner. He just has to be on the damn field to run a route. Then when he's on the field, they never get him the damn ball. JaMarcus rarely see's wide open receivers.
OMG this is exactly what I was screaming yesterday. this is skylers play and he is sitting on the bench.
that inside screen is made for shifty guy not a guy that breaks tackles. It is made for speed pure speed.
