Re: Nick Toon works on receiving skills to score roster spot

It was actually the Dolphins game, with about a minute left in the 1st half. Not a slant, it was a scramble drill. Brees ducked out of the pocket under pressure, Toon cut off his route and headed back toward the middle of the field. He had the corner on his hip. It was not an ideal throw from Brees who was running to his left and threw across his body. Toon had to try to catch the ball over his right shoulder pad.

He should've made the play, the ball did hit him in the hands. But considering the direction he was running with a trailing corner it was a tough play to reach over your back shoulder like that.

Gruden dogged him a little bit for it, but only after they showed the slow-motion replay. Before that he was talking about how the corner (Nolan Carroll) made a nice play to break it up. Just to illustrate it was a bang-bang kind of play. In fact I'm not even sure you would classify it as a true "drop" if you were charting stats because those are usually only on contested plays.

Nice work on finding it JV, all I want to see from Toon is good consistency and bearing in mind all we've heard from camp supposedly he's made some great strides

There's a reason the players like Colston and Moore are/were fan favourites, they made tough plays in critical situations, I hope Toon can do the same this season
