No excuse if Duke is not giving full effort but Gus needs to put him in positions to help us win. Having 8-9 committed to the run with Cam and Nick allowed our less complicated pass tree to work. If we can't force extra run defenders with Jeremy then I'm hoping Gus adjusts and/or has been saving some of the below to get Duke going (kiffen did this well last year with cooper):

Julio Jones dominated the Eagles for nine catches on 11 targets, 141 yards and two touchdowns on Monday night, and Chip Kelly said the Falcons took away what Philly wanted to do to him.
To get Jones away from being jammed and doubled, he was moved all over the field by new offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan and used in various splits.
“Credit to Atlanta and what they do. They move him around so much,” Kelly said Monday morning on WIP in Philly. “He’s lined up at the outside receiver on the right side on one play. The next play, he’s the outside receiver on the left side. The next play, he’s the third receiver on inside. The next play, he’s the second receiver on the other side. Then they put him in motion.
“Sometimes, you have outside receivers and inside receivers. You have a way to combat them and double them. They did and do, in their system, such a good job of moving him around, which is harder than people realize, if you’re that receiver, to be able to do so many different things from so many different spots. They made it difficult for us. Obviously, we’re trying to get some doubles on him, some people underneath and overtop him. They make it difficult.”
