I would like him to be utilized the correct way first before cutting bait.

Quote:

Where are the seam routes?


Why is Thomas being asked to run such short routes that frequently have him near the sideline?


Why is he often put in position to make a catch with no momentum going forward?


“We’d like to have him catch to where we can get up field,” Bradley said. “We knew [short routes] could happen, because we were chipping him. He had to chip and then get release. With that, maybe if his route was supposed to be at 7, it was going to be at 5. Then we said if we are going to throw it to you, the last two are on you.”


That’s not what Thomas does well. He doesn’t have make-the-guy-miss moves. Thomas is a rebounder with straight-line speed. You send him 15 yards down the middle of the field, throw it up to him so he can catch it moving towards the goal line and hope he breaks a tackle.

I don't understand why Jaguars keep running Julius Thomas on those short outs shy of the sticks.
