Ok, so i followed this game on my phone rather than pay 35 dollars to watch a standard definition version of it on Tigervision. Did Randle drop passes in this game as well? I am hearing that he dropped a touchdown, is this true?
My view of the replay was that he did not drop it. He caught it, took 2 steps and fell and the ball came loose after he hit the ground.
Yes and so did TT. It was more of the same. As great as some of the catches they make are they drop more that would be more beneficial to the team.
IMO it was a call that could go either way. The call on the field was incomplete, I didnt see anything definitive to reverse it. I think he had it but it looked like it may have been coming out when he was falling to the ground. Which is why I say it could have gone either way. No matter what it falls on Randle because you have to secure the ball better than that. It wasnt the type of fall that should have caused the ball to be dropped like it was. Randle has a lot of work to do as far as hands go. Great potential but a long ways to go.
I WAS there at the game, and he caught the ball, crossed the plane with control of the ball, then was tackled and hit the ground, which caused the fumble. He'd ALREADY SCORED. The video replay on the big screen at Tiger Stadium was repeated a couple times and we all saw the same thing happen again, while the play was reviewed, and yet the call on the field was upheld.:rolleye33:
I agree. I was there and I saw it. My husband, who was sitting next to me however, thought it was loose before he hit the ground. It's all perspective. The fact is, our receivers need to work on their hands. It shouldn't always be such a question or continuous drops.
I didn't see the RR, but I saw two of the TT's. It's really kinda unfair that we continually dog our QBs, when our WRs could be doing a better job of making plays. As I noted on another thread, RR cost us the AU game with his miss on the first drive. Granted the ball wasn't thrown well, but it was catchable. Great WR's make those plays. Average WRs don't.
If our coaches would work with our receivers on looking the ball in, it would make all the difference in the world. There is one drill where you write 4 different numbers or shapes near the end of the ball on each of the panels, and while you throw the ball to the receiver you make them call out the visible panel when the ball comes into their hands before they tuck it. That drill teaches something that our WR's obviously haven't learned. You have to catch the ball before you can make a big play. Oftentimes our receivers want to start running before they have truly caught the ball, or they haven't looked the ball all the way in before they are attempting to look up and make a move. Spending that extra millisecond watching the ball come into your hands, seeing how it hits your fingers, and making sure that you have a secure grip on it before you do anything else..........that is golden when it comes to making catches............especially since our WR's are generally athletic enough to get their hands on most balls thrown their way.
