Anderson Expects a Big Year In Gase Offense


Recommended Posts

So many seem to missing the main point imo, with the weapons we have added (Bell and Crowder), along with Enunwa and Herndon, Anderson will be that more dangerous.  You can't key on him and if gets past his man, he is a threat to go all the way.  The key will be to get him the ball in space.and running room.

Anderson, at best, will have the 3rd most targets behind Crowder and Bell. Most likely he'll be behind Herndon as well. 

You just have to look back at Gase's offenses in Miami to realize who the focal point of the passing game will be and that's Crowder. He's a chain mover. Gase absolutely loves slot WR's like Crowder bc they create mismatches and are easy completions for the QB.

Then he will equally love getting the ball to Anderson on stop.and goes, slants and some curls.   When the defense creeps.up.to prevent the slot receiver from getting any YAC, Anderson will either be past his man or breaking free.  As Darnold continues to improve is ability to.read defenses, I expect Anderson to score 10 plus TDs.

That's not how it works. Gase uses the slot wr similarly to how the Pats do. He puts them in positions of one on one mismatches on linebackers or safeties with option routes. It's just the way the offense is structured. If you have a really good QB it's hard to stop and that's why Brady is so successful even with average WR's. The only time the Patriots #1 target wasn't a slot WR was when they had Randy Moss and Robby Anderson will never come close to that type of player. I'd expect Darnold to be around 65% Comp percentage just bc of Crowder and Bell being added to the offense.
