After a certain amount of film review, I should like to make a comment on this subject.
Watkins is often asked to perform a WR3 or 4th Option (post Kelce) role on Wally's offense. What normally happens is that Mahomes isn't provided the time necessary to go through the entirety of his reads ... all the way to the 3rd/4th option. Mahomes is not scrambling as much (partially by design, partially because he wants to improve his pocket game, and partially due to injury ... I'm guessing) which means plays are not extended as frequently as we've seen in the past.
Now ... there have been numerous (and I mean, numerous) times in which Sammy has been wide the hell open in the flat or as an outlet receiver on the boundary and was never targeted. There have also been many times in which he was targeted, but the pass was ... not stellar. This has mainly because Mahomes is being absolutely harassed by the time he gets to that read.
The day that Sammy went off, Wally had designed the offense around him because Tyreek was out and Wally had trust in Sammy. And Sammy delivered. The next game was Robinson's turn to get his number called. (I'm surmising on that second part there.)
Anyhow, I urge you to keep this mind as you declare Sammy to be a dirtbag receiver of no account. I further urge you to take the majority of your ire and direct it to the bag-ass o-line crybabies. Those fat wimps have cost us more games this year than Sammy has ... by a long shot.
