First game!?!

Its been three years.


on the bright side, at least he has a broken up a pass to add to his stats.
You know, The one intended for Rudolph that he batted away.

Hey, can't you be satisfied with a win?? j/k, that's what I was told when I brought up my Treadwell thread.  :p

I still have some hope that he might get some chemistry with KC...

Me too.  Lots of focus on the drop, which was a crappy/wobbly pass anyway.  The other "drop" he was getting interfered with by Sherman the entire route.

To me he looks better, but I guess we'll see.

I'm waiting for the red-zone looks.  With his size and the hops he had in college, he should make some CB's life hell on fade routes.

The biggest thing about his first drop is that he ran the wrong route. Do players, even good ones, make mistakes in games? Sure. But not if they have physical attributes which are only borderline for the NFL. Treadwell's 6'2" - that isn't ovewhelming in today's NFL, not exactly Mike Evans. His speed - enough has been said. Point is, if a WR has only okay size and average speed, his routes better be PERFECT.

In my opinion the guy’s in his head too much. He needs to forget where he was drafted and just play the game. I think he overanalyzes and it leads to mistakes. We know he can play, he was excellent in college. Watching him live in the preseason he was consistently getting open and was much improved. As soon as the pressure starts he’s back to his hyper critical self. I don’t worry about the speed, thats not his game. Plenty of guys with his speed being productive. He could be great in the slot and should be a first down machine. We need to see his fight for the ball desire like he had in college.

Maybe it's in the OP's link, but I heard Laquon and Rudolph were jawing at each other after a play because of the wrong route...He keeps that up and he wont be #3 WR for long. I just hope we're not going to be longing for Jarius Wright at all this year

Running the wrong route is not the same as running bad routes.  I do agree that his route running needs to be on point, but him making a mistake or not hearing the call isn't an indication that his route running sucks.
