Re: Interception #2
Well Vilma last night said the same EXACT thing that I said, a few weeks ago in the "Is Brees Turning Into Brett Favre?" thread, about the pick 6 in the Carolina game...we've all seen Drew make those bone-headed decisions and throw that exact same pick 6 or bad interception before...(my memory is hazy, but I think in the case of the first one last night, to #55, it felt almost identical to one of the crazy ones he threw in that awful Cleveland game, when he had that rough patch -- I felt a little twinge of deja vu about it somehow). But what we haven't seen is Drew throw two of them almost back-to-back, like that, within a couple of plays of each other. Usually he dusts himself off and gets right back in it, the team comes back from the adversity, but last night, unfortunately, after the second one, it felt like Drew was sorta toast.
As for the "if it hits your hands you should catch it" thing -- I think that is something that the pros just sort of say, as a professional pride thing...the same way that professional session musicians, Nashville session cats and Broadway pit musicians and so forth, they are proud of the fact that they can play anything, any time, anywhere -- you can put any piece of music in front of them and they will CUT THE RECORD, perfect, every time, as many takes as you would like, just count it in and they'll play it exactly how you want it. But it's not actually how it really happens. They do screw up and play clams or break guitar strings and stuff. But it's something they say, to sort of distance themselves from the "non-pro" musicians -- and I think it's the same thing happening with football players as well.
