IF he still has enough to be like 2015 it is going to be because they use him in that hybrid role. And he has addressed that. In Dallas he goes to receiver meetings but they also intend to use him a lot as a runner, presumably on normal running plays plus gadget plays, just like 2015.
I think that would be the best for him. I just think the focus can't be on him so defenses cheat. And I think if he plays more of a role in the offense and Linehan can put him in favorable situations then perhaps he can have some success. But I don't know that Dallas has any WR's that will keep the defenses honest. That said the Rams WR's weren't lighting it up in 2015 either... I think I just have to see how it plays out.
2016 was so painful to watch on many levels. But particularly Gurley, who seemed to lose all of his instincts and Austin who defenses just keyed in on. Then to watch Goff try to process info in 1.5 seconds and it was just miserable. What a difference a healthy and solid OL makes.
