The only thing that was odd to me was that Bilbo Loggains and Old Man Fox River didn't use Shaheen more in the red zone. He can't throw the ball to himself and certainly isn't going to get it thrown to him when he's not out there running routes. They developed him as a blocker far more than as the pass catching TE he was billed as being. The damn kid caught the vast majority of what little was thrown to him. I certainly can't fault him for not having a better rookie season.
They were just starting to use Shaheen more then he missed the last 4 games with injury. I like the slower way they brought him along and made him learn to block before throwing him to the wolfs. They were easing him in. Fox did well in letting the young guys get some experience but not overburdening them.
