Anybody else notice how our DBs seem to still not be able to catch a ball

The Dude · 08-03-2012, 10:55 PM

Most everything I hear about our DBs coming out of camp are that they are dropping balls left and right. After the season they had last season I would think that area would be a top priority in this years camp. I hope this is not a sign that we have not improved in this area. Has anyone who has been to practice noticed this first hand?

Didn't Harper pick off Drew the other day?

And isn't Johnny Patrick getting like a pic a day?

Yea one. Other than that I hear that him and Malcom are dropping everything thrown their way with maybe one going to a rookie or 2nd string man. I think it was between Greer and Patrick that picked off Drew if I am not mistaken. Point is, a lot of interceptions are being dropped.

6 days into camp. People just need something to write about.

Maybe I should have titled the thread to specifically say Jenkins and Harper. I also don't feel the excitement coming out of camp as I have in years past.

There's only 1 practice allowed per day around the NFL as per the CBA.
For years 2-a-days were heavy during camp.

Now they get 1 practice and most of it is indoors in the closed Saints facility.

So you're not getting the fan based local traffic at practices, especially since the first 4 days were practically rained out.

Makes sense.

Better question........is anybody surprised???

There's a reason why they're playing corner and not receiver.

Next optimistic thread...

Anyone else notice how many passes Drew is throwing that could be intercepted?
