Starts off like I'm full of it
but then you see, leading, leading. Maybe like I said the TE is in the post, leading leading....that's his style.I can't see, glasses. Is that Oliver at the end? He even slows down like hoops to get the pass

Sure

I mean it feels like he's the WR1 of this team, but the O is so bad it doesn't mean that much.
He had some troubles today. They were rough with him and he was outta the plays sometimes.
Later he was pushing and brushing them off like he figured it out.
Wonderful sight that he and Ridley were on the same side of the field a lot meaning they're confident in his understanding of route running, positioning, timing and balance now. Big progress there.
He's not a one. He's raw and better every week.
He looks very good.
He's not Julio or some ridiculous athletic freak.
He couldn't handle top corners yet and he doesn't have to. He's doing well. Things are good.
They'll still need a freak when Ridley is gone. Maybe hopefully Jeremiah Smith.
He had one chucked up high for him and he went and got it. It wasn't a smooth play but Cam trusts him.
People are too excited over 50 yards and 38 or whatever.
He's coming along very nicely

Like I said, he's no 1.
He's good though and there's so many moments that the Titans have no go to WR or TE.
With every passing week I think more n more it might be Gunnar.
Elic could feed off anyone and be a nice complimentary guy that oh btw breaks free for a deep one.

The Titans have had five players get injured, miss a bit, a statement they're about back and limited practices, then go out for an extended time. This setback routine has been brutal.
Bryce Oliver was a projected starter/key sub since he started all off-season.
Elic was a surprise starter announced a week or two before the start of the regular season in that post camp window. He seemed good for the fourth WR and key sub spot.
He's started and had some nice catches. Still very confident he can high point over most CBs, but what else?
A single game above 50 yards and a snap share of 81 percent is not good for a starting WR.
The shine wore off.
He's been 90% snaps lately and 29,27, and 18 yards his last three starts.
Oliver was to be back last week, didn't, and is now DNP.
Lockett released.
Ridley out with hammy and elbow and knee.
Jefferson is playing thru an ankle and asking him to do well against an elite CB is an enormous ask.
These were the Titans veterans and (2nd year) Oliver. They were to have a big presence as Elic developed and worked into a bigger and bigger role.
Since he was thrust into the starting lineup (even he was shocked) he looked pretty good the first couple weeks and then pfff he ain't ready.
Dike was a WR they'd find time for and progress would do same and take away from veterans but there was a clear drop off between Elic and Dike. Dike was wayyy secondary.
The plan was fine but made of eggshells. If Oliver produced that would be three young WRs by season's end and a nice outlook. Van and Lockett were highly questionable producers and Ridley has always been as such.
Now Elic has to be the biggest contributor til guys get healthy since Van will likely be shutdown by an opposing top CB.
How can Elic possibly be confident? This has been my big concern since he was thrust into the lineup and now what? If he was brought along slowly last week would have been his big chance and it could have been very different.
Dike looked very rough. Not in sync. Drops. Questionable play calls. Rough. He broke free and had a good first quarter last week. All the games leading up- he was averaging a smidge more than a yard per target. After that quarter he had a gooseegg. He's been playing 50-60 percent of snaps for a few weeks because...why?
There has been no bringing them along typical type development.
The future is here now. Both rookies likely to start and have to produce some significant numbers.
They could have signed any veteran WR to get the 20-50 yards their starters have been getting and still bring these rookies along. They had to waiver priority for five weeks.
Now it's just oh well I hope it works out.
I don't....I'm afraid they're gonna mess em up.
I hope they start with some high passes, maybe one he could use his body, maybe Dike gets a couple crossers. It seems imperative they start the game giving these guys bread n butter plays.
This is also the opposite of a top WR or TE being a rookie QBs best friend. What a mess

A lot of talk of Elic on the radio this week
What to do? He's pretty stagnant in his development and if ya take away garbage time stats he's not good.
A lot of the times the conversation shifts to subbing him out, coaching him up, putting him back in but also hypocritical in that if Chig and Ridley are traded he'll have to play more (which isn't possible really but ...).
I enjoyed the talk today of Cam's boys and which skill position players are going to aid his development the rest of the way.
The gist of that is "who is getting it done?" Play them. Get the others to that point.
Former WRs hosts- Elic was using great technique and losing to physical CBs in camp, then learned to be physical, now he's playing with neither. It happens. He's adjusted his game too much to not really be committed to doing anything well and they gotta get him back to square one and he'll quickly get back in line like a coach reminding a young player.
One interesting Hopkins quote came up and it's a shame he didn't learn w Nuk. "Some Sundays it'll be a finger tip grab, a shielded catch, a dive. Some Sundays you have to earn every single catch. Sometimes it's like that." So some opinions that Elic might have to accept his easy job in college may take a lot of hard work in the pros. Might be mental and he's just gotta accept a gritty make something out of nothing every time road to hoe.
