Tana had twice as many TDs as Garcon though he was targeted...less. Garcon made little to no impact is several games (outside the ones he missed completely), getting yardage in junk minutes but otherwise being very quiet.
Again, hopefully this is the year he puts together a season anywhere near worthy of his contract. |
Interesting, but meaningless stats. Garcon's presence on the field clearly impacted the defense and coverage. With Garcon in the lineup we lost one game, without him we lost a few more than that. Was it all on him, probably not. but his presence and ability to provide explosive plays, ala the dallas touchdown, brought a threat defenses had to respect.
Moss and our other receivers benefitted from defenses coverage of Garcon.
