It’s going to be tough, Ebron drew a lot of attention. Especially in the end zone. Teams had to cover him. Now that coverage is spread out. TY drew coverage fromEbron, Ebron drew coverage from everyone else. JB didn’t like the windows before, well they are gonna get tighter.

I also see some anti Reich stuff on the forums popping up. Reich isn’t the problem. I see some really creative play design coming out of the staff, stuff I haven’t seen before. There are scheming guys open and fooling defenses. But it still comes down to talent. You need talent to win period. And everything funnels through the QB today.

Stupid to blame Reich in my opinion. We don't have enough playmakers on offense. We have lost to many guys we were counting on without having enough replacements. Honestly losing your top running back, top 3 wide receivers and your top receiving threat at tight end along with your franchise qb is to much for almost any team to overcome. Travis is athletic, we will see if he can run routes and hold onto the ball. Lets hope we made a mistake in cutting him.

It may affect Ebron’s contract, Funchess’, etc. I think Ebron is gone. I think things were doing more harm to his rep than good. Deon Cain is gone. I think the receivers know that JB isn’t the guy and can’t throw the ball. League is catching up also.

Mostly his inability to consistently catch passes is hurting his reputation.
