Reading what has been written recently by Scott and AJ with interviews with the kids, etc. Got me thinking...
If we can somehow have 2 receivers who can consistently get open and catch the ball, this offense could be scary good. I personally feel the biggest reason why Herbert regressed so much during the season is because he had absolutely no confidence whatsoever that anyone outside of Mitchell could make a catch. I think that really hurt his progression as a QB.
That's what I want to see this year. Receivers running all around the secondary driving DC's nuts because you can't double anyone. Make those catches, and Herbert will get you the ball. I think (think the key word) that if we can establish two at the very least, you will see Herbert's numbers skyrocket.
