About those dropped passes....

[lharris537]

Resurrecting an old, old quote (circa 1962) from Raymond Berry, the scholarly Baltimore Colts' Hall Of Famer who was one of the first in the NFL to make the incredible catch appear mundane:

"If you can touch a pass, you can catch it. You must be prepared to make adjustments for the unexpected, just as you must be prepared to have total concentration on the precise pass."

Mediocrity = It takes a lot less time and most people won't notice the difference until it's too late

got any pics of any other drops or was that the only one we felt like scapegoating today?

nah, he will do just fine. With every drop pass his price will drop for next year

That was by far the best looking photo. That was a very clutch miss.

FUCK. It sucks to suck.

Oh, and it did suck.

I just can't put blame on that one drop. It was just off the fingertips, sure. And he probably should've brought that one in. But it didn't hit him in the palms n the endzone like Gaines'. Hoover's miss was just like Moose's. Colbert's were actually facing him, scarily enough.

We don't have the bandwidth for all the drops. But if I had to pick just one, it'd be Moose.

I can't rag on Delhomme much just yet.

We have less offensive skill than we did in 2002.

bottom line is recievers have to make those plays. Moose, Colbert, and Gaines.

Colbert and Gaines are rookies. Doesn't excuse it, Moose's chances were harder, but the bottom line is those plays need to be made.

Smith would have made it, if only because he had more speed to run under it.

Moose probably should have made that catch, but if Jake had thrown the ball like he was supposed to Moose wouldn't have had to lay out just to get his hands on the ball. Receivers are supposed to be able to make those plays if they have to, but it seems like it's become routine for them to have to make spectacular catches of Jake's bad passes.

Moose is a captain, his play reflected said leadership.
