    I don’t think Rudolph has too much of a problem with the 40+ yard attempts. He’s hit a few of those. The one that DJ caught vs the Dolphins, but got called for OPI was a very nice throw. Where I’m seeing a big problem is in the intermediate throws like digs, deep outs, crossing patterns, etc. Rudolph had some horrible accuracy on some of those throws vs. Miami, and it seems like either he or Fichtner are afraid to even try most of the time.

    Juju needs to be targeted atleast 10-12 attempts per game
    to get this playmaker involved some how more. Note he does not have
    to be thrown to. It could be jet sweeps, reverses ETC. Something
    that this playmaker could get his hands on. But when you have
    an OC that doesn't think out of the box. Ju JU will continue to see his 5 targets per game.

    I agree MR can throw it deep but he shouldn't be trying as much as Ben did. I also agree he needs to get better at the shorter routes. He is missing guys in stride and I am hoping in time he will get better. I do want to see more down field passing to take advantage of our talent on the outside and also maybe get Vance into the game more and with time I am hopeful MR gets better.

    Rudolph has not played well since returning from the concussion. It's not like he isn't hanging in the pocket, but he seems to be processing things more slowly. Maybe that is just hesitation, but he is holding the ball too long and he isn't as accurate. Even against the Colts, he had receivers bailing him out on bad throws. Washington did it twice.

    JuJu might have cost us the game with his alligator arm tip/interception! I expected better from him.
