I feel pretty good about Josh Downs having a a breakout season this year... Shane Styen is not an idiot... Shane Styen is not going to not play Josh DS in favor of like Nick Westbrook Aton Doulan or like the second tight end... And like, by the way, they're going to need him. Alec Pierce banged up, so they're going to need him.

Harmon confident Downs breaks out; Steichen will play him over depth
Matt Harmon expresses confidence in Josh Downs having a breakout season this year despite concerns about not beating out Michael Pittman last year. Harmon acknowledges Downs was hurt early last season and couldn't get on the field due to heavier formations and positive game scripts favoring the run, but emphasizes that Shane Steichen will play Downs this year—he won't bench him for Nick Westbrook-Ikhine or other depth options. Alec Pierce being banged up further increases Downs' opportunity. Harmon is not nervous about Downs' projection and feels good about the breakout potential, though hesitant to go all-in due to the unknown.
