He regressed or teams adjusted?
Howell doesn't get the ball downfield with any accuracy. Sure he has a good arm but can he see the whole field?
His 2 longest receptions are to RBs on broken plays.
500+ pass attempts, Howell did not complete a 40+ yard reception to Terry or Jahan.
If I'm game planning for Howell, Damn near all passes are under 20 yards. I'm going to make him beat me over the top.
That's why Brissett made the long pass look easy. They didn't game plan for anything deep and left the corner without help.
Sam needs to go out swinging against the Jets. Considering how well guys like Flacco and Mayfield are playing, Sam Howell is looking like a practice squad player right now. He needs to put up big plays to stay relevant. 5th round picks don't get to suck for this long.
