Im pretty sure i saw him in the first quater but i dont remember seeing him after that and he didnt have a catch. Did he get hurt today or did he even play?

He was playing on almost every drive and don't think he got thrown to. I was surprised as well.

I have to wonder if it has anything to do with the rhythm between Josh and JB. Maybe JB is more familiar with the 2 deeps than the first stringers (from the beginning of the season) and is able to find them more consistently.

I would speculate that Lenz had to play outside receiver because Money was out. That's why Horne started in the slot. I would have liked to see Chris Young just replace Money on the outside and keep Josh in slot instead of playing him out of position. He's a better route runner and it helps to keep the rhythm. I like Josh vs. LB's better than CB's.

Moving Josh outside not only impacted his catches, it also hurt us quite a bit with the difficulty he had blocking. He missed 2 on one series that were really bad.

He had 2 or 3 throws to him on 3rd downs in the second half, all of them he was tightly covered and the ball was uncatchable. He was definitely in the whole game.
