Saints coming to grips with problem

Receivers working to eliminate drops

Friday October 17, 2003

Some fans are quick to point an accusatory finger at Saints quarterback Aaron Brooks for the team\'s offensive struggles.

But the receiving corps has exacerbated the problem recently with untimely drops that short-circuited potential scoring drives.

While Saints offensive coordinator Mike McCarthy said he has addressed the issue with his receivers, he must be careful not to create a monster.

One drop can lead to another, and pretty soon a case of the drops becomes contagious.

\"It\'s not an inordinate number of drops, but they seem to be coming at inopportune times,\" McCarthy said. \"The bottom line in our business is, when you\'re 2-4, everything becomes magnified.

\"Frankly, we need to take a more positive approach. Frankly, I think guys are thinking about dropping a ball instead of thinking about catching it. So we need to move on. We don\'t have guys who have bad hands. I would not classify any one of our perimeter people as having bad hands. We need to focus more on catching the football and quit worrying about dropping it.\"

Saints tight end Ernie Conwell and wide receiver DontÃƒÂƒÃ‚Â© Stallworth freely admit they have dropped more passes than at any other time during their college and professional careers.

\"It can become a mental thing if you allow it to be,\" said Stallworth, who has 15 catches for 220 yards and one touchdown. \"All through college, I think I only dropped like maybe two balls. I don\'t think it\'s a problem with me. It\'s a matter of me getting back into a groove. I haven\'t found it yet. Hopefully, I can find it sometime soon before the season gets too far along.\"

Hey Clown, do you want me to list every link and every negative post that has been made about Brooks in the last 3 weeks by the national media? Christ, there isn\'t enough room on this board.

That must make you the garbage sorter . The man who gets to wallow through a mountains of garbage picking out those things that should not be in there .

TheOriginalSwampdog · 10-17-2003, 01:01 PM

Here\'s the funny thing. I guess you can blame \"drops\" on Brooks lack of leadership ability and his lack of consistancy. I guess you can also blame drops on his inability to read defenses and to take unecessary sack in the red zone. It must be me, but Haz was reaming his qb out last week when he instructed Brooks TO THROW IT AWAY WITH FOUR SECONDS (before the half) if a td was clearly there. So, what does idiot do? He throws it to his fullback on the 3 yard line who was covered. After this play, you could see Brooks pleading his case to Haz only to Haz mutter \"whatever, whatever\" with every word that came out of Brooks mouth. Yeah, drops cause all that. Billy Crap, did you get \"dropped\" on your head when you were a kid?

TheOriginalSwampdog -- Like I told you earlier -- You are the sorriest excuse for a fan that I have ever seen.

TheOriginalSwampdog · 10-17-2003, 01:25 PM

Au contraire, sir. I am the best sort of fan. I am a fan who buys season tickets year in and year out and goes to games regardless of record. I\'m a fan who wants wins and WILL NOT accept excuses for losing. I, as a fan, expect the VERY best performance on the field each and every Sunday. If these guys were playing hard, not commiting penalites like they got bonus\' for every one the commit, and showed some damn heart, then you wouldn\'t be hearing this. But I am a realist, sir. You are a dreamer. This team, this year, is going nowhere. You know it and I know it. If you any kind of TRUE fan, you would know this and be damn pissed about it. I am and won\'t settle until this team makes us proud CONSISTANTLY! I\'m not asking for SB\'s every year, hell, I\'m not even asking for playoffs EVERY year. But the way this team looks, it\'s a disgrace to us and the city. We have gone from a contender to a joke in 3 short years. Now, you tell me where the blame is and I\'ll vent it. You show me any team, comparable to our\'s right now, where the qb and head coach are not getting blasted I\'d be glad to listen. However, you can\'t. The Falcons, the Eagles, the Chargers, the Bears. All taking heat. I did not mention the Lions, Bengals and Texans because all have 2 year or less qb\'s. I\'m sure if Harrington, Palmer and Carr where in the fourth year and playing badly, they\'d be heat on them too. Grow up, man. Life ain\'t all roses and playoff berths. Not as long as Brooks and Haz are around, that is for certain.

You two take the cake. When will it all end? Grow up people! Get a life! Understand that each of you have a different view of the problems facing this team . You ain\'t gonna agree on anything! So leave it at that! Quit the name calling now!
