Whatever moves the chains on 3rd down I'm for.....But I still believe he needs to become a better receiver for this to happen...More touches in the run game is dangerous....
He has displayed that he is a much better receiver this year he runs his routes fast and all the way through not to mention he haven't dropped a pass all year. He has broken tackles got hard first downs and he has 3 touchdowns receiving. Honestly he is out best Receiver right now with Bailey being second. I'm not worried about Britt I think this bye week is really helping his shoulder issues

I'm not saying he is the best in the league bUT with our running game and Tavon proving that he can run the entire route tree he is more than dangerous. I thought #1 receivers are game changers defensive coordinators have to game plan against him. Tavon checks all those boxes he might not have the numbers YET. But when I see 11 men on defense shift when he goes into motion that's a #1 receiver

I like what they have been showing thus far on offense. There have been breakdowns but there has also been some really nice plays all the way around.

They have to keep using TA in that jet sweep look it gives them some great options to both him and the RBs either Gurley or Mason in that same look. I would like to see TA get some more deep looks from the outside. He is faster than anyone around and just one of those big plays a game would make a huge difference.

Hopefully Quick comes on and becomes the guy we were seeing last year, or at the very least a big possession guy who can move the chains.

I'd also love to see some quick throws on slants, something that doesn't take so long to develop we saw some of that against the hags but I don't remember anything like that since the first game.

Little steps biding time until they were all healthy has been a good beginning. Now is time to put some TDs on the board to go along with all those yards TG has been piling up and string together some wins.

I don't think we can underestimate how much attention Tavon is getting. Tavon and Gurley are the focal points of any defense we play. Stop those two, you pretty much killed the offense.
