I like this guy - a lot.  He seems to catch everything thrown to him.  I'm wondering if he could become the TE we all hoped Julius Thomas could be.

With A-Rob out, this guy should get more playing time, and more targets.

What do you think?

I think Koyack and O'Shaugnessy will be part of the game plan for the tacks in week two.

Hackett used Koyack last year as a safety valve against the tacks, and I could see him doing so again this week but with his own, better playbook.

Sidenote: I really, really wish that Coughlin would pull Marcedes Lewis aside this week and tell him-
"Look son, you can barely catch the damn football with two hands. For the love of all things holy, PLEASE STOP TRYING TO CATCH IT WITH ONE HAND!!!"

They love Lewis for his blocking. I wouldn't throw to him.

I like O'Shaugnessy better, he seems more athletic.

It's probably why they normally only throw him screen passes anymore. Once a game if he manages to catch it then it shocks the defense.

I was impressed by O'Shaugnessy. He seemed to catch every ball his way unless Irma caused me to miss drop. I barely noticed Koyack was on the field.

Yup, O'Shaugnessy caught every pass throw his way, all one of them.

Yeah, JFF, his blocking was actually very helpful to our tackles on Sunday.  But it pays to give him a little screen or dump off here and there if you can catch defenses off-guard just treating him like the 6th O-Lineman. 

One or two attempts per game would be effective if he'd just catch the dang football.

Marcedes Lewis handles Clowney. Ivory shows he's not #bad.
