An observation: (Garrett Johnson) When both players dropped passes yesterday, as they always do, both went off the field like nothing had happened. I really don't think they care unless they make a highlight reel. I would start Richardson and Walker in their place every game. My hats off to Bone, who made some great catches yesterday and did seem to care about his one drop.
No sense of urgency from Baker or Johnson..
- Thread starter Glenn Fohr
- Start date
I agree regarding the lack of "edge", to fall back on CMS jargon. Baker and Johnson seem distracted by the struggle to establish an intermediate passing game. They seem to be pouting (perhaps unconsciously) about the state of the passing game, when in fact in doing so and losing focus, they are becoming equally responsible for the struggles. Baker looks like his old self at times, but Juice is just in a funk.
All players should have a short memory...
Reality is that we have had back-to-back seasons of wr drops in big games that ended up being huge factors in losing what could be program changing wins.
I was thinking yesterday watching the game, they might have clocked out since the power running game has come on and they're not needed as much. Just my thought.
Timmons has had good hands when thrown to lately i think he needs more touches any way they can get him the ball.
I don't think you guys know what they are thinking. I know I saw Johnson shake his head as if he was letting loose a cuss word after one drop yesterday. They are taught to think forward and not get down on themselves so as to make one mistake affect the next play. You may be right but your still guessing.
We became an offense dominated by the run game. Pretty simple to figure out really.
