    When is this guy going to learn to catch the ball at the highest most point? They teach you that in junior high, but Drew once again tried to catch it in the breadbasket when he should have reached up to grab it. I'm talking about the ball that was thrown to Drew in stride in the second half sometime.

    I agree. He isn't doing bad for a 3rd/4th receiver, but I would like to see him make those plays. If I remember correctly, he did have a big catch in the playoffs last year (maybe the Seattle game). It was a deep route and he went up high to get it, so he definately has the ability. He is still young :)

    As an ageing WR/FS sporting a beer belly, I can tell you that it is much easier mentally to catch a ball on the pads rather than on your hands. For some guys catching comes natural, they don't need to focus so much at the moment it comes to your hands. That is what separates the WRs from DBs. Both are atheltes, only slightly different. I personally enjoyed hitting people more than sacrificing the body across the middle for the team.
