Get Kincaid More Looks.
I guess the wording here could be a bit better, as Kincaid has gotten a decent amount of targets for a rookie tight end. I guess I would say more here to get him more quality looks. He was drafted to be a big slot more than a tight end, as we were told. The times he gets the ball are short receptions with opportunities for YAC or simply designed to move the chains. Both things are great, but in rewatching the game, there seem to be quite a few plays where he seems to be quite open down the field and just happens to be the third read in the progression. Many of these players were, in fact, completed to Diggs or Davis, so I think it becomes pretty easy to ignore. My point here is you dropped a first-round pick on the guy to be a difference-maker and a match-up nightmare, and I haven’t seen a ton of opportunities for him in that fashion. The offense has largely the same weapons as last year in Diggs, Davis, Knox, and Cook, and we saw come playoff time (and over the past couple of seasons) that if teams were able to take away Diggs, the ancillary weapons weren’t enough to make other teams pay. Now, maybe this is by design, and they want to unleash his full potential later in the season and bring him along slowly. Still, I think that moving him up in the progression reads will give us a better idea of who he will be for this offense rather than trying to find out when the important games are being played down the stretch.
