From the video
I went back and watched his 16 targets listed as an outside wide receiver. Unfortunately, even when you're listed as an outside receiver, sometimes that means you are motioned into a stack. Other times, it also means a tight end or a wide receiver is motioned outside of you. So, the leverage changes at the time of the snap. And he's still gonna move around even if he earns two wide receiver things. Shane Syik didn't want for him to operate as like a real wide receiver. He had a 5.4 AOT. It was you know some screen passes. It was speed outs. It really was nothing nothing down the field.
STACKED’s take
Negative signalUsage
When listed as an outside receiver, Downs is often motioned into stacks or has tight ends/receivers motioned outside of him, meaning he doesn't operate as a true outside two-receiver player. His 16 targets as an outside receiver last year featured a 5.4 AOT with mostly screen passes and speed outs, nothing down the field.
