Nice guy, Team guy, took his position change with class. Nonetheless, He is not a wideout. ODB would have found a way to get to some of those balls that came his way tonight.

in fairness, a lot of throws to him tonight were at his shoelaces. Should he have caught some? Maybe. But, he did have a nice one where he jumped up to bring one in

Yeah because that leaping catch he made was unspectacular

Dude definitely needs to learn to catch with his feet. Clearly.

He was wide open three times and the balls thrown to him were no where near catchable. I guess you want to take Randle out of the WR group for dropping a TD pass?

He isn't a true WR but has skills that need to be utilized.

I am surprised at the amount of negative threads after this win. I shouldn't be, but I am. Some people just can't make themselves happy no matter what.

Or we could try throwing the ball to his fricking hands instead of his feet all night.

Hes a fricking playmaker so stfu. He made a nice catch and when he's has gotten the ball he has done some really good things.

Its not just RS. We don't catch the ball that well. Several times tonight there were catchable balls for big plays. Seemed to me that our WR don't go get the ball. Its gotta come to them.

Idiot alert!!!

Shepard wasn't taking reps away from ODB on those two passes. There were 3 WR's on the field for those plays. Shep also had a pretty sweet grab for a 1st down in the first half.

What is with you jackasses tonight? Lee threw two balls that landed at Shep's feet and Shep made a great leaping catch on another pass

dude, shepard's jumping catch was spectacular...the other throws were literally at his feet or in the ground in front of him. I think he played just fine.

it was funny seeing some of the posts in the game thread.

Shep caught a very difficult throw high up in the air, then a ball is thrown to his shoelaces and another is skipped to him yet both are his fault and people are calling for his head just because he has dropped a few in the past. lol so dumb

He played fine. One ball wasn't going to be caught by anybody because it was at the shoestrings and he route was fine. In fact, if Lee hit him on stride in that route he'd probably still be running right now.
