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.

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.

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

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

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.

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!

Why would the rant be interested in the truth?

In fairness to Dupre last year was a record for drops for the WR unit overall
