Bright side to the year: Trevor Penning

The real bright side of the year, was the signing of our WR coach. Keith Williams did a bang up job (no pun intended) despite the litany of injuries.
I think he did a laudable job getting a thrown-together group of players - all of which have had some NFL experience, some more than others - to play on a professional level. Unfortunately we didn't get to see much of his work with the core early-season group of players (Olave, Shaheed, Means, Tipton) as injuries ruled out the top 3 and Tipton evidently was not suited to playing snaps over the last several games. His worth won't be measured by how he gets the replacement players to play, but how he gets the top-end talent to play ... provided they ever play.

Tipton was an undrafted FA rookie, so not much was expected of him. There are concerns that he was a healthy scratch while retreads like Wilson got out there (assumedly on the strength of Cedrick's ability to run block). But to see the end of the game yesterday devolve into 2 WR/2 TE sets - in which Holker was out there - was frankly a statement about the WRs. Or maybe the TEs. Or maybe the OL. Hell, maybe the QB ; 0
