Cant have benji doing this saturday

[KendrickPanther]

It's not just concentration. It's decision making. He could have slowed his route down the sideline and made that catch easier. He tried to stay in stride and catch the ball behind him at his waist. That is a lower percentage catch but he wanted to take it to the house. Steve was great about securing the catch when Jake threw him short.

 

On the second drop he reached for it which is a low percentage catch. He could have sold out and dived and had a better chance at it. He didn't want to go to ground. When he caught his 9 yard pass it was a similar route mirrored to the other side, he sold out, went to ground, made the catch.

 

Here ya go. The first drop, could have slowed up his route and made a big play. Wanted to take it to the house.

 

 

 

On his second drop he bent at the waste and extended his arms. Tried to catch it on the run. CBS did not have a good angle for me to capture.

 

Here he makes the adjustment. Lunges for the ball, catches it closer to his body and goes to ground. Big first down and one thousand yards on the season.

 

 

 

When I was watching the game I was pretty hot about it but I think these are coachable things. Kelvin just needs to realize what he is and be the best at what he is. When the QB throws you short, take the 35 yards, don't worry about the 60.

That, and he needs to start clamping on the ball. The ball hits his hands and just bounces off. Clamp those motherfugers down on that ball KB! We cannot afford any of those drops in the playoffs. I don't like seeing that heading into a playoff game.

I feel like the reason it is bouncing off is because he's trying to clamp down and doing it a touch too quick. Seems like he's too anxious to make the play and his timing is off

He didn't drop a ball all OTA's, TC, and even in preseason. So I don't understand the problem 

 

Its a long season.

 

How many times have we heard that from rookies?  For the first time ever he has had to not only take the physical punishment of a 17 week season headed into a playoff game but he also has had to be mentally tough longer than he ever has.

 

 

My guess is this kid has hit that rookie wall we hear about and while he isn't done for the year he is going to not be as sharp.

This board will go atomic when Benji doesn't drop a single pass on Saturday.

Everybody calm down geeze he is going to be good for us.

wtf is with u and coffee

[Swaggasaurus]

Pretty easy to figure out, when his arms are extended he can catch. That over the shoulder ball that he had to cradle...wasn't happening

[CatalystNX]

The problem isn't his hands. It's mental. I think he'll eventually work through it.

[iamcline]

benji will need no less than 3 defenders draped on him to make the catch

 

Muhsin Muhammad syndrome.
