Beckham is an extremely talented WR. However one area he is lacking is his ball skills when going up for the catch. Sometimes he seems to misjudge the flight of the ball which puts him a little out of position to make the catch.

On the other hand Landry is a beast when going get the ball. I'm not sure there is a better WR with ball skills in the Country.

It's a damn shame he isn't 1 or 2 inches taller. He seems to have the thoroughbred possession receiver qualities as well as the slot shiftiness

yep. TheEye gets it.

Some of you need to go back to WR school. If you can catch the ball while placing your body between it and the defender, you do it. It forces the defender to have to make the play through you (prone to penalty) or over you (if he is 7' tall). This is proper technique.

Now, obviously if the ball is underthrown you are taught to come back to it and catch it at its highest point.
