No doubt. You gotta' earn that trust, and make the most of your opportunities. I suspect JSN does all of that. And then some.
I don't mind the low production. That will come. What really does concern me is how many horribly looking throws we've seen going his way. Two weeks ago, on an out inside the redzone, the CB jumped his route for what should have been a pick 6. This week, Geno threw it right in the chest of a defender standing on front of JSN. I'm not in the WR or QB rooms, so I'm not sure if the issue is timing, chemistry, slow routes, televised routes, or bad throws (e.g. late throws) or what. But, something is amiss.
One part of it, I think, is that JSN still needs to learn to come back to the ball and not wait for it. DBs will jump in front of him when he doesn't. That'll come.I don't mind the low production.

This is very misleading.

I assume the creator wants to imply that JSN is wide open and not getting targeted. But the stat he chose only shows JSN's separation when Geno does target him. And given the sample size is 14, a single blown coverage skews things dramatically. That's also why all of the receivers in the 4+ range have fewer than 15 targets.
I'm positive he will . It just takes a little time .No, you made a good point. Hopefully as the year goes on, he'll get more targets. Great problem to have, for sure.
Looks like JSN isn't liking not getting targets.
In this video, you can see Geno being a leader talking to JSN.

Yep. For the first half at least.JSN's snap count was way down on Sunday - he was in on 44% of the snaps compared to 59/56 in weeks one and two.
Conversely, Parkinson was in on 71% of the snaps in week 3, Fant 63%.
Waldron was using more 2 TE sets to protect Geno with all the backup OL in, and the slot receiver was the odd man out.
Agree. Geno needs to use DK as a decoy to open the middle of the field, give a pump fake then target JSN in the middle. Geno is seeing this a bit with TEs naturally but he needs to practice this more and he'll see JSN open a lot.I hope my post didn’t come off as negative. JSN is incredible. He’s getting open…
I just think Geno isn’t quite used to targeting the slot so much…and we all know why. Additionally, DK and Tyler are machines….I too would be tempted to throw to a 6’4” bodybuilder as it’s hard to overlook.
It takes time. There’s simply a lot of options on Offense. It’s a “problem” you’ve got to love to have!
