At 1:28, he is practically run over. You can't box a guy out who is running through you. It could have been interference. When I first saw that play I immediately said that was either interference, or the guy made a perfect play on the ball because it sure looked like he went right through him, just as you said... He's not a 260 pound power forward. NFL receivers routinely fail to make that catch.

At 1:36, I don't think he ever saw the ball. Looked like Jones panicked and just airmailed it. Stills was double covered and didn't turn his head till the ball was just past his head.

At 3:42, the defender got a hand in, so it wasn't a straight up drop. After watching it a couple times, I'll say that maybe he should have come back for the ball, but the qb needs to lead him. Usually you come back to the ball when your qb is on the run, but he was open and Jones was not under pressure. Ball has to be in front. But it's one he could have possibly had, I'll give you that.

I agree that the double move he made on one of the deep routes slowed him, but then maybe the double move is what got him open in the first place. That's not something we can conclusively say.

3:48, I can see what you're saying, but he's running a fly pattern at full speed and the ball is under thrown, again. It's not as easy as you might think to stop your momentum on that play, to come back to the ball, but that's a toss up. What he should have done was knock down the corner before he could make a play. That's just my opinion. All in all, this looks like a typical game film for a receiver, to me. And he had far better games than this.

Nobody dropped more balls than Jimmy Graham and Marques Colston last year. We'll see what he does, bro.
I'm not going to say that he is a bad WR in general, or that what I said he could do differently is easy or even possible for most people, but I'm trying to take this guy and put him into a division with Derelle Revis and Asante Samuel, to make in impact in this league you have to be netter than good, like Lance Moore and Colston are able to do week-in, week-out, and Nick Toon looks like the type of guy whose speed and hands are better than good. All the things I mentioned up there are things that those guys and Graham do all the time, whether it is overpowering defenders (Graham, Colston) or catching anything that touches your hands (Moore, Colston) or just playing perfect fundamental football (Moore) and if you can't do those things, I don't care what your past achievements are or what a "monster athlete" you are. About 160 people in the entirety of human existence have the skill set and natural ability to play WR in the NFL any given year, and of those less than half will be considered good, I'm sorry if I'm looking for perfection on every play.
