We are SO much better on offense when Christian Watson is on the field. You could see it today. He stretches the field and makes all the receivers/tight ends better because defenses have to always know where #9 is. His speed is a problem for all defenses. Doubs, Reed and Wicks and Kraft get open underneath when Watson stretches the field. Watson is a game changer. The stat ESPN put up last week about Watson averaging 30+ yards on his last ten or so catches was crazy/unheard of. He can also draw PI penalties on the defense due to his blazing speed.
I am a big fan of Watson and he's been relatively healthy this year. We are an elite offense when he is on the field. Today it seemed like our offense was lost in the first half. I know the Vikings' D is excellent, but we seem to NOT take shots downfield when CW is out. Watson has improved and really competes this year on those 50/50 balls.
Here's to SCOOT getting back next week and peaking in the playoffs.
