Well, it’s hard to tell if Palmer can get open because he never plays. Separation was supposedly one of his strengths in prior seasons, and seemed like he was finally primed for a bigger game against Atlanta before getting hurt.
But yeah, otherwise it seems like against a team with strong corners like NE, probably should focus on trying to run the ball and first reads through the air should be the TEs and RBs, or Josh just running the ball. I’ve seen enough of Josh get pummeled against some defenses while his WRs try to get open.
