Dupre Drops Last Year
Posted on 9/11/16 at 4:04 pm

Just read a Jim Kleinpeter article LINK
It mentioned that Malachi Dupre dropped balls in 5 straight games in 2015.
For some reason I had not noticed until this year what a serious issue Dupre had catching the football.

What do you expect when you only throw 10-15 times a game? WRs need to get their confidence going too you know. There are clear drops, however, don't expect this kid to make every single circus catch and 50/50 jump balls that Harris overthrows. Dupre is put in a position to get crippled due to poor QB play.

They should super glue ball to his hands for a week. That will fix it

It's worse this year. I believe he had no catches yesterday.

Dupre has at least 4 drops this year in 15 total targets. He has 39 yards in those 15 total targets...15 of which came on a pass interference penalty.
He had 0 catches yesterday...
Honestly, time for him to see the bench. He is turning into an offensive black hole for a team that is already poorly coached offensively and has QB problems. He should not be a focus in the passing game right now if he wont fight for balls or consistently catch it.

That would make sense if other WRs were dropping balls
But they're not
There is no excuse for a 5 star, D1, supposed future NFL player to drop so many balls that hit him right in the hands

It's even worse when you think about those gloves WR wear.

Kid wears glasses off the field. Does he wear contacts during the games? I have been suspicious he can't see. Bowe had similar issues.

So the idiots claiming he's dropping passes because Harris was benched are full of shite. Who would've thought?

He's always had weak hands but was good at adjusting to the ball in the air.
Almost every catch he makes is a double catch, ball always moves around after it initially touches his hands

Maybe I'm misreading your statement, but since when would a receiver get yards credited for PI???

I listed total offensive production we've had throwing him the football.
We've thrown him the football 15 times the first 2 games. He has 3 catches for 24 yards, got 1 PI for 15 yards, has 4 or 5 drops and 2 INT.

The first pass hit Jeter on top of the head and the second one went into Dupre's hands. Dude would have been 8-8 in the first half with any help. Then add on the 2 in the second half that is 10-14 for 200+. That is the reality of what anything decent from receivers.

That is very true. Not many clean catches even when he does catch the ball and a lot of DB's are able to knock it out or basically take it out of his hands while he's trying to bring it in.

He simply has not played well this year.
Posted on 9/11/16 at 4:58 pm to cubsgrace
Then get the ball to Travin.

Once he got in the Syracuse game last year he's gone to shite. He refuses to put himself out there for anything and can't even catch a ball that hits him in the #'s now. He's buddies with Harris so just bench both of em''s arse!

I would assume that he dropped ball in more than 5 games last year but we know it was at least 5. Now he has dropped balls in 2/2 this year.
That gives him drops in at least 7 of his last 14 games, sometimes multiple drops in those games, and really it's probably more like 10 out of his last 14 games with drops.
This should be unacceptable on ANY level in football.
If Malachi Dupre is truly one of the best few WR on this team, which I seriously doubt, then we are freakin' doomed.

Drake Davis > Dupre... And I was a huge Dupre fan.
