It's easy, and only takes a few moments.I think he's referring to the key drops.What do you expect with rotating linemen? theyre making changes midgame based on performance. How can agalor go deep if the line cant hold up?
He’s a two-year albatross. He’s gotta improve right?I think he's referring to the key drops.
I mean, if Agholor makes an easy catch, it's game over. New England wins.
I have no faith at this point. I don't think $11m is an exorbitant amount for a middling starting WR in today's NFL but this is not the guy for us (I also think his salary is pushed out to the future as this year he's making $7m).
The problem is that he was open and it was a game winning drop.That was his first drop of the year. They brought him in to stretch the field - they aren't even trying that yet.
If he doesn't pan out, he may be cut next year.He’s a two-year albatross. He’s gotta improve right?
I’ll take the under. He sure can run though. On the TD to Henry he blew by the CB and was an easier target imo. Hopefully Jones works on the connection.If he doesn't pan out, he may be cut next year.
Consider he has a $15m cap hit next year but if he's cut, it's only $5m dead money (or a total of $12m for 1 year).
Edelman dropped a lot of passes.I've been b*tching about negativity in threads, so I really want to not be that guy and pile on. However. The drop in OT was a catch that a top flight, big game player makes. Edelman makes that play all day long.
It wasn't his first drop of the year, either.The problem is that he was open and it was a game winning drop.
Stop making sense.That was his first drop of the year. They brought him in to stretch the field - they aren't even trying that yet.
It was just the timing of the drop and the relative ease of the playI don’t have a big gripe with this signing, to be honest. I posted a screenshot in the Mac thread of a play where he’s open behind the defense and the ball comes in short. His specialty is big plays downfield which is not a priority for Jones thus far. He has adapted with inside routes and has been pretty reliable when thrown to.
Does anyone realize that Trent Brown costs $9-11M? J. Smith is 12.5M.
At worst, they got a pretty good receiver and paid a moderate premium, which you expect in free agency…he was expensive but they paid him closer to a top a #2 than a #1. That isn’t some monumental failure like Brown and Smith, two guys who shouldn‘t be on an NFL roster and whose measly production could be replaced immediately with draft picks.
Refs made some atrocious calls on bobbles balls.He had a bad case of the drops while playing for the Eagles. Except in that February game...
