Agree, I'd like to see McLaurin and Brown stretching the field from the off, allowing our running game some opportunity, and making PA a threat. I didn't see much PA against the Giants and I think that hobbled the passing game a bit. But I also worry that Heinicke doesn't necessarily have the arm to truly stretch a D, and maybe that's where PA becomes more effective (opening up catch and run opportunities). Can't help thinking this is the kind of game Samuel's might have thrived in.

But to me the key is the D not allowing Allen to run wild. We face too many running QB's this year to not make tightening up that aspect of the D a priority. I think after the screw ups last 2 games, coverage should be better (if not then what exactly are the coaches doing?), but that might be in vain if we don't stop gashing QB runs on 2nd and 3rd and long.
