Could Thrash Become #2 WR

I don't think you CAN put Thrash on the field and not have Randle El on it. That just seems like a bad allocation of offensive resources.

However, James Thrash is the second best wide receiver on this team, so in three receiver sets, he's got to be on the field.

It seems to me that whenever Lloyd is on the field, that we are allocating our resources poorly, or at least less than perfect.

Here's the offensive skill position players that should get more PT than Lloyd:

Moss
Cooley
Portis
Betts
Randle El
Sellers
Thrash

That's seven players who have value to this team. Assuming good health, which three players are going to be taken off the field to stick an underachiever on?

Do y'all really want Mike Sellers to play less so that Lloyd can play? Heck, if Tyler Ecker comes back healthy, at least he can block.

Until some injuries start to pile up, it makes sense to keep Lloyd inactive so that we don't cost hardworking players playing time.
