Green Bay's WR's should teach a course...

...on how to correctly catch a football. Granted, Aaron Rodgers was on fire all game long, but these guys were snagging the ball with their hands (GASP!). The showed strong hands and great concentration.
It was just one game and I don't get to see a lot of the Packers to make an educated summation of them as a whole, but they sure did put on a clinic in Atlanta Saturday.
That's why I think Sean Payton makes changes at WR this year. Colston and Moore and Meachem are probably locks, but you have to think two spots are open as I can't see Devery returning and I think Arrington gets his chance to play.
There are only a few Saint receivers that use their hands correctly to catch a pass--Colston (sometimes), Graham, Arrington and Moore. The rest let the ball get to their pads (Devery, Meachem), and that breaks their "concentration" as they usually bobble it.
Anyway, I was a bit in envy as Jordy Nelson, James Jones, Greg Jennings and Donald Driver all showed great technique. Just an observation from Saturday...anybody else?

Jones had his moments of drops this year, granted they all played great saturday.

That is the least of my concerns. we have enough offense..yes i do agree we need to improve our catching but we DESPERATELY need a pass rusher, a run stopping DT and 2 OLB's. Front 7 must be our first problem addressed. replace brown and Ayodele on the D line. remi is a good backup.

I saw his drops in a little video during the game. They hit him in the hands at least and it was in freezing cold weather. He's doing right at the very least.

You suck at observing. I seen nelson and jones drop some crucial balls this year. And colston isn't that sure handed. He's dropped alot of balls this year at the most inopportune times. Yeah they are all good receivers, but they have all had a bit of the dropsies. shite, Edwards an Holmes yesterday made some sick catches, but they have ha some bad crucial drops this year too.

Yo, I said THIS ONE GAME. I also said I hadn't seen much of the Packers this year to make an educated summation of the entire corps of receivers, you suck at reading comprehension.

we all suck at posting and are peons compared to The Brees. Let's sit back and wait for some copy pasted information that woos us all.

The whole point of this thread was that 1) I hate how Devery and Meachem let the ball get to their pads and don't use their hands to catch and B) I'd like to see Arrington claim a roster spot next year while Devery goes off into the sunset and III) I appreciated the Packers' receivers play on Saturday.

Maybe Greg Olsen should teach our WRs a course on getting behind the Seahawks secondary. Seemed like he was back there all day.

Nah, you suck at analysis if you think that they can teach a clinic to our WRs based on ONE GAME.
