Best Hands on the Team....
We all know Lance Moore has the best hands on the team, but who on offense has the next best hands?
Colston hands lately look worse than Devery's. Devery is catching everything. Bush and Shockey look just above average and Meachum is catching just about everything. So who's next after Lance? You can send in write-in votes for other players. How do you measure the best hands...

Re: Best Hands on the Team....
Devery - most improved
Meahcem - most spectacular Colston - not sure but was his hand injured? Shockey - top 5 TE Bush - is it me or does Drew never seem to hit Bush in stride anymore? |
Re: Best Hands on the Team....
The Shockey is catching everything.

Re: Best Hands on the Team....
most of colstons drops would have been ridiculous catches
i completely understand the drops when he gets hit immediately.....but if he drops wide open passes, like he has a couple times, thats when you need to worry for the record....i voted devery knowing its really shockey.....but the fact that he could even be considered right now is a huge step from where he was 2 years ago |
Re: Best Hands on the Team....
I voted for them all.... Why? Because I could :)
|
Re: Best Hands on the Team....
At the moment, I think it's a really tough call between Henderson and Shockey.
Colston seems to be having some problems right now. Hope he can overcome it. He took at least one big hit yesterday where I thought Drew shouldn't have thrown it to him. Some of those throws across the middle can really set up a receiver to get pounded. |
Re: Best Hands on the Team....
Bush is making some great grabs right now. I agree, Brees has been a little off the mark on those dump passes to him. That one handed grab yesterday was just unbelieveable.
|
Re: Best Hands on the Team....
The really great thing about this year is when a receiver is having an off day like Colston yesterday another one, like Meachem, steps up and has a great day.
|
Re: Best Hands on the Team....
I think all of them, with the exception of Colston's ghastly performance yesterday, have great hands. I can't remember the last time I saw Devery drop a ball (which by the way, is so awesome and one of the reasons I'm pumped he's still a Saint).
Shockey hasn't dropped many this season, if at all, and has come up with some serious circus catches. Meachem catches every dang ball thrown his way, including tough ones in traffic. And Reggie has been solid this season. He always gets crapped on, but the guy is definitely valuable to this offense and he's really stepped it up the last four or so weeks. That one-handed grab he made last night was unreal. And SaintsFan1976, I noticed the same thing about Brees throwing it to Reggie out of the backfield. Drew always makes accurate throws except when it comes to Reggie. He missed badly on several balls to Reggie last Monday and when he's coming out of the backfield it looks like Reggie has to slow down. |
Re: Best Hands on the Team....
I voted Shockey. Henderson is much improved but Shockey is on his game and looking more like his pro bowl years.

Re: Best Hands on the Team....
Tough one...but I got to go with Shockey. He is making the adjustments to guarantee the catch - which means he's not getting much after the catch. Canton's not seeing things: Reggie is flat footed, having to stop, reach behind him and is losing his advantage on the outside when he doesn't get the ball in the right place. Great one-hander by Reggie yesterday. Shockey is earning his keep, and I'm glad to see it. Maybe Brees changed his socks or something, because he's been a bit high or a tad low, a little too much lead...can't put my finger on it. Even Brees' off-the-mark/out-of-sync days are better than most other's best day. I will be awfully glad when Lance Moore comes back. There's a different system clock ticking when he plays.

Re: Best Hands on the Team....
I say Colston but I voted for Shockey. Shockey is our best wr/te right now. He is catching everything coming his way.

Re: Best Hands on the Team....
Two years ago we were hoping that someone other than Colston could make a catch. Now we are trying to slice baloney awfully thin trying to figure out which of our all-pro receivers catches them best. It must be a terrible thing to have to make this choice. I feel your anguish.
|
Re: Best Hands on the Team....
Moore, Colst, Shock, Meach & Henderson
|
Re: Best Hands on the Team....
I voted for Colston but Shockey has looked as good as anybody.
|
Re: Best Hands on the Team....
I find it hard to blame Colston for any of his drops as Drew consistently puts him in tough situations when throwing him the ball. I said last preseason after a game that if Drew keeps leading him into big hits, he's going to get hurt... he did and still does it. Colston has great hands.
|
Re: Best Hands on the Team....
I went with Shockey although the margin this year is not far from first to worst at the WR/TE spot for this. All are playing well above average and drops have been limited.
|
Re: Best Hands on the Team....
Had to go with colston, the best after Moore cause he is amazing. Shockey after because I never saw him drop a ball. It's a tie between devery and meachem because henderson did improve and meachem always catches the big ones. Bush well bush does catch good but his catches don't go very far anymore. Nice one hand though.
|
Re: Best Hands on the Team....
Funny as it may seem It looks like Arrington from what I've seen of him. Moore is our posession/Welker guy so he is probably the guy, but those catches Shockey makes are unbelievable. Can we vote for everyone?
|
Re: Best Hands on the Team....
I say all of these guys have great hands at this time. I really do think Colston shouldn't be ripped too bad for some of his drops, but there are a few he needs to be called out on. Believe me, QB's don't have 68% completion percentages with lots of dropped passes. Right now I would have to say I have the most confidence in Devery Henderson. I honestly believe he is the best overall receiver on the team at this time.
