Why can't the receivers catch the ball?

Is it something about the way Burrow throws it? Some QBs throw a very catchable ball and some don't. It's been an all year thing.

This is on the receivers.

I wish I knew.
All I know is that I have a lot less hair on my head than what I started the season with.

I'm not blaming the QB on this one.

Certainly isn’t Burrows fault. He throws a pretty nice ball.

WRs - Marshall and Chase elite talents. But the WR coach is a legend from days gone by.
RB- Etienne Soph All American at Clemson
Pooka - Freshman All American over 1,000 yards
BAD recruiting with both players.
At least this season, we probably sign the two best from LA.

Earlier this season I read an article about the new WRs coach. It pointed out that he emphasized route running over catching. Sorry, but I have no link.
Remember, a recent WRs coach had them working on catching the ball, even catching it with their arms around the goal post. The ability to catch is inate, and it can’t really be taught, but concentration can be taught. We are not teaching it.

LSU fan thinks only LSU WR's drop passes. Watch enough CFB and it happens nearly every game to plenty of QB's.

They are not looking the ball in their hands. If you notice they are breaking, the ball is delivered and they are looking up field trying to make a play. This is all about concentration and focus on the football

Because they constantly try catching the ball with their arms and chest instead of their hands. It’s the most basic thing they teach a WR in pee wee football. It’s also incredibly easy to catch a football with gloves. Burns my arse every week as a guy who played WR.

I would immediately sit their collective butts on the bench until someone stepps up.

It has nothing to do with the ball. JB actually throws a soft ball compared to MB. It has everything to do with concentration. They are not looking the ball all the way in. It’s muscle memory/discipline. Trying to run before catch.

Did not watch the game.
LSU completed 24 of 34 passes. That's 70 percent.
How many drops were there?

Receivers baw. Seems to me what separates a good receiver from a Jarvis Landry (or Odell Beckman) can best be expressed in two words. Catlike reflexes. Along with an abundance of 'quick twitch' muscles. I mean you watch Jarvis Landry catch a pass while executing all kinds of contortions and you say - no way he could catch that. Catlike reflexes baw.
LSU has what I call decent receivers.....but not great. Far too many dropped passes. I'm afraid THAT will come back to haunt the Tigahs against A&M. You have to make those easy catches Justin. By easy I mean a precise on target catchable pass. IMO Joe throws those kinds of passes. Although Stephen Sullivan and Ja'Marr Chase seem to possess the ability to secure and finish a reception with some consistency.

When I see most of the WRs doing it, it tells me that it is a technique flaw and should've been addressed during practices with coaching.
It's been happening all season long which tells me either
a.) coaches dont think it's an issue
b.) dont know how to address the issue
c.) our wr's are incapable of learning proper technique

the wr's need to be held accountable by the coachinhg staff. make them do steps, extra sprints or something after practice.Its a lack of focus and it keeps happening.Jefferson dropped two and sullivan drop one td pass last night.

That’s why we are DBU and not WRU!

Realistically 5, of which Jefferson had 3 bad ones. The one everyone talks about with Sullivan along the sidelines would have been an amazing catch if he got it as he was mostly stretched out out of bounds.
Jefferson had a bad day, but he has enough credit with me given the season he has had. People forget that OBJ dropped his fair amount of catches at LSU in his first two seasons.
If the receivers are going to have a case of he trophies, this was the game to have it.
