So you don't get as much of that quality one-on-one time with the rookie(s)...

I guess JP.

All I know is up this way in Death Star Nation, rookie Michael Gallup (taken in the 3rd rd as Tre) had no issues adjusting, studying and creating separation with Dak Bortles throwing to him...even in the post season (119 yards) vs Rams. They had just as many rookies @ WR on their roster as the Saints.

Again, Tre needs to step up in 2019.

No question. Point I was attempting to illustrate was that we had several rookies come into the system all at once; so it's not just him that should be improved Year 2, but Kirkwood, essentially new position Arnold...

So part of the problem was a system issue figuring all those rookies out, where they best fit, and splitting all that one-on-one-Coach-Curtis-Whoopin'-Stick-Training among more rookies than usual...

If anything, he ran away from everyone in TC like a bat-outta-hell (cue Meatloaf) and then, some reason, just disappeared like Homer Simpson into the shrubs...

Injury? Lifestyle adjustment? Maturity? 3rd round pick, you right, he's gotta step it up...
