2013 New Orleans Saints Rookie Review: Wide Receiver Kenny Stills

Rugby Saint II · 02-07-2014, 02:45 PM

I must be the only member not impressed with Stills. He doesn't fight for the ball he catches it with his chest not his outstretched arms.

That preseason one-handed catch against Houston was a thing of beauty. Deep ball, fighting with defender, one-handed catch over an defender and elegantly securing the football. Brees and Jordan went nuts on sideline.

And 4 plays after that he faked jonathan joseph (pro bowl CB) out of his shoes for a TD

Stills is awesome

The "catch" is that he catches it...

And has the lowest drop rate of the entire team. Out of 111 Receivers in the league he is #3.

He is also 13th of all those receivers for percentage of passes thrown at him caught 69.6%.

11th in the league for yards after the catch per reception at 6.1.

You may be the only football fan not impressed with his play for a rookie.

Give me another year to come around..........I might just have to rethink that.

My concern is that he catches most passes with his body. Maybe another good year of coaching will fix that.

If it is not broken, do not fix it. So you seriously would rather his drop rate go up so he can catch passes with his hands away from his body and allow the ball to get stripped or just knocked out (see Seattle games).

No thanks.

Ever thought that just maybe he is fast enough to get his whole body there?

You are not alone. I do not like what I've seen from Kenny so far. He can run and we desperately need speed at WR. Colston and Moore are surely two of the slowest WR in the NFL. Stills looks scared to me. I recently posted similar comments on a thread about Joe Morgan who looks to play with reckless abandon to me and I was trashed by the forum and someone posted his 2013 highlights which included mostly him catching the ball wide open on fade routes and exactly zero catches across the middle. I'm sure he'll improve but can you learn to be brave? I don't remember that ever happening. I think that's who he is.
