Great receivers catch balls that are hard to catch.


yes they do, but a lot depends on the route...on a swing route, a pass behind you is about impossible to catch, and if you do catch it the play is effectively botched because your momentum is killed.

those passes were terrible. the momentum of the player was usually moving away from the ball and the balls were no where near close. Shep is still learning to play wide receiver but those balls were horribly thrown. Most of those flare passes were thrown to high and with no touch. Just sayin

Some don't seem to understand that the vast majority of routes that we run are dependent on YAC to be successful.

They also lead to a higher than expected completion percentage, but require a bust on the defense to produce significant yards.

I think the INT last night was a pretty good example of why we don't go vertical, unless we have field position and no help over the top for the defender.
