Interception #2

Correct Xan,

Brees knows how much air Colston can get which is why he is throwing the ball for gazelle catches.

Brees knows that Jimmy can out manhandle any defenders which is why he not affraid to squeeze the ball to him when he is tripple teamed.

While his throws like that one look stupid, he actually throws to his receivers abilities, while most QBs throw to a target not taking any of that into account.

That throw was not out of the ordinary from Brees to Colston.

Hate to say it, acrobatic or not, Colston dropped the ball. End of story.
Most of the time Colston makes that grab and everyone praises the team for athletic play.
Those "risky" throws make our team potent. We never go back and observe the plays we score on or chug 20 yards down the field on a completion. That's how it works.

Dang. You can see Sproles even kind of flinches and sticks his hands out, like he thinks the ball is coming to him -- he knows how wide open he is.

Missed catch or not; that was a dirty hit.

Colston is as tough as they come but he decided to live to fight another day on that one. He got both hands on the ball but he knew what was going to happen and decided that some things are more important than catching a pass. I'm glad he did. I'd rather have Colston for the rest of the season than win a football game.

Exactly!

The "catch" is... with or with out the ball he is taking that same exact hit... I would rather take the hit with the ball than for nothing.

So you'd be fine with Drew Brees making a completion and taking a hard hit everytime too? Or would you prefer him to play another down?
I get you you think he should of made the catch.. I see in the small window yeah he heard footsteps knew he was defensless and decided the ball wasn't worth it. When it went thru his hand he was already considering how he was going to fall.
I just can't see how people are blaming him for not catching it...

Life after football means alot

And fact is, even if he catches it no way in hell does he hold on to it after the hit and landing he had. No way in hell... So yes he could have "caught" it. Would it have been a completion? I don't think so.
