Quote:The routes he is running are still the easy mode routes. Slants, speed outs, screens...everything short with YAC. That he is dropping ~9% of those easy types of passes might not actually be a sign that his hands are getting better, but maybe they are...that's why I said it's hard to tell at the moment. 

 

That's not surprising, considering he's a guy that wins with quickness and speed, these route concepts take advantage of Lee's strengths. He's run some vertical routes too, Blake missed him on a would-be 75 yard TD against Baltimore a few weeks ago. Lee has the talent to overtake Hurns as the 2nd option in this passing game, Hurns is a guy that is better suited for the slot because he lacks the dominant physical traits to win (consistently) on the outside.
