I mentioned this earlier..somewhere...
I hate say it, but looks to me like CJ has some issues gaining separation. Think about it...even memorable catches he has made last few years are always tough and well covered. No doubt, he has incredible playmaking ability at point of catch and physical make-up to make things happen when covered, but starting to think he should be used differently...not sure how. I did see TH put Burt in a couple times...but didnt do with him what I would have. If you are going put Burt in, have him run the up on that outside that they kept trying to force to CJ. IDK....Love CJs potential...kind of reminding me of 2017 Dez right now, though..football-wise. I'm not so sure I wouldn't let CJs skill set replace LJH in the slot occassionally and move Dev around to keep defenses guessing....and run Eagles or Burt over top.
Btw...think this was mentioned somewhere here or another source....but Eagles looks like a potential NFL receiver..his movement, body control, ability to find space, and ball-tracking (especially down field) look like the real deal. Expect him to grow quickly into a beast if utilized properly.
And this post is not saying give up on CJ...no way. He has had some good moments for us and, we need him to shine. Hope he finds that next level and the offense finds ways to take advantage of his skill set.
