Seeing him make those catches and miss the easy ones makes me nervous.

Lord knows we don't need him to develop into another Brandon Lloyd.

agreed. brandon lloyd sure could make the dynamic catch every once in a while but it was always in the midst of a bunch of of horrible misses of what should have been easy catches.

i don't want this Brandon L to have the same results as that other Brandon L.

5 drops? I think some of you are being a little hard on the guy. I saw one that was high right on the sidelines, that would have been a great catch, had he made it, so I don't count that as a drop. Also, that TD pass he " dropped" was not really a drop. If anybody has seen the snapshot of that play at the Observer, the DB clearly had his hand on the point of the ball, so that one too would have been a very very tough catch.

You can go back and read my posts from camp the first day he didnt catch a single ball thrown to him. Im sure he can get better but we dont need someone that will be great 3 years from now, we need him now. If we can get one more good not even great reciever then we can go along way this year. Maybe I am to hard on him but he gets paid to perform.

That was a dumb one handed catch. He used one arm to hold himself up and the other to catch the ball. Good catch though

Looked like if he had not held himself up with one hand, he would have gone to the ground too fast and not had a chance to catch the ball. Yes, very good catch.

Yeah, but the first day of camp don't mean anything right now. He will get better as the season goes along anyway. I'm very confident of that.

What? You don't expect a rookie to break every record ever recorded while solving world hunger? Stop being a homer! :P

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Everyone knew the catch was secured and didn't move. That was clear to the entire audience. The only ones who thought it wasn't a catch were in the NYC home office. They knew they'd just offer an apology the next day.

      Canales is holding us back

      By RumHam · Posted

      NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
