Earlier this week, Coach Josh McDaniels discussed the dip in production of his superstar wide receive Davante Adam.

McDaniels said: “I mean, like I said, he's as tough as they come. I think that's more about us, just making sure we're doing all the right things so that he can impact the game the way that he needs to and should and deserves to, whether that's through the scheme and or the execution of the play. There's definitely sometimes where there is no way you can throw it to him based on what they do. I mean, there were a couple plays yesterday where there were three people running around chasing him and the [Tre] Tucker play only happens because the free safety double-teamed him, you know what I mean? So, there's a balance between being very smart with the ball and seeing the defense and not doing enough to put the ball in his hands. And so, this is not the first time that I've gone through this. I've coached a number of receivers who would fall into the category of they are this type of player. I certainly am not going to compare all those guys -- Randy [Moss], Brandon Marshall, Davante, Gronk [Rob Gronkowski], there's definitely an element of where they take him away sometimes and sometimes they don't. And you just have to really do a good job of being disciplined because you may only get a few opportunities a quarter, but you got to take advantage of them. And there is some execution that goes along with that on everybody's part, but there are chances and we need to do a better job.”

The Silver and Black will head on the road to take on the Chicago Bears on Sunday, Oct. 22, at 1:05 p.m. EDT/10:05 a.m. PDT.
