Everett has no presence in the middle of the field. None.
It is that presence that can keep this offense at a high level.
We concede the middle of the field and I think other teams realized it.
McVay has most patterns and Goff gets the bulk of completions at the numbers or outside the numbers.
I look at the Patriots...they attack the middle. They don't concede any part of the field. Frankly any team with a good TE uses him in that capacity.
Everett is, and will always be a over-sized WR to me. Get him on smaller dime packaged corners...that's his game.
If he was only a red zone threat, I could even be satisfied with that. But he's not.
A good TE, a real TE, would lift our lack luster red zone effectiveness...but that is another subject which people discounted...because "we score so much." Well...when you play the best teams, you better not be pulling a 55% red zone percentage. How does Everett's ability, his improvement, do anything for that issue?
