No excuses but Reed was hampered by a hamstring for the better part of last season.
HIs blocking was awful, he was lucky to chip a DE/LB.
Im all for using these two as much as possible, see the NewEngland Partiots how they use Gronk and Hernandez. Hope Belichek let Beck in on some plays while he was here speaking a few weeks ago.
If Kyler is such a threat, use him as a decoy more, let him get double teamed going deep and have a WR coming across the middle, or a RB coming out of the backfield. Make the D respect the whole offense, not just one or two players.
