Higbee appears to have avoided serious knee injury

[AvengerRam]

This thread is a classic example of tangential discussions.

I wonder how Higbee is doing…

 

[ReekofRams]

All wide receivers drop passes from time to time that they should catch, and we don’t keep holding it against them, or consider them a bad wide receiver. Otherwise there would be no good wide receivers. So why are we having this discussion?

Skow's drop cost the team 7 points. It was egregious. But it's also what you can expect to happen periodically when you put rooks in big game situations. I hope they keep doing it too and I'll bet he tracks the next one better.

 

[LouisvilleRam]

And I doubt we will ever see another game like that from him.

It was like he had eaten popcorn right before trying to catch those passes

Yep I couldn't believe it because his hands have been so good over the years. They say year 3 is the year WR's start to turn the corner and I hope so because I thought we got a real steal in the draft with Van but to be truthful he's been a little bit of a disappointment this season.

The defensive scheme was definitely more aggressive with more 5, 6, and 7 man fronts in assumed running plays while crowding the box with backers closer to the LOS. This is what many of us were calling for during the season and when Morris finally makes those adjustments, and it works, we're the bad guys and Morris was right all along.

Look at the angle of that play. Skow just turned his body the wrong way. It’s dead in his hands if he had turned to his left. Good lesson without costing us the game.

Jaquizi Tartt says hello

(speaking of tangents)
How is that pronounced Ja kwa ski ?

What? 802yds, 6tds for a WR3. For reference he's 31st in yards for a receiver. Sure he can can improve his game, hands especially, but I wouldn't call this year disappointing.

Yeah thats not bad at all especially when higbee and the best receiver in the league are on your team. Also his 16 yards per catch is ranked 6th

Well I think the whiners loss is all on us.

How many drops? He had a 3 or 4 game stretch where he probably dropped 5 or 6 passes. Some would have been difficult catches but still very catchable. Something else he does is if a deep ball is under thrown he'll just stand there and watch it go right into the hands of the defender instead of trying to break up the play. His hands have been a lot better the last part of the season and the playoffs.

honestly I guessed at his first name

According to this site, all sites have different definitions, Jefferson has 6. Another site has him at 5 That might be low by a few, but a 3 to 4 game stretch of 5+ drops is a gross exaggeration, that's double every reciever in the league.

So Stafford threw 1 INT while targeting Jefferson. It seems too short for Jefferson to try and break up the play, doubt he thought it was going to be that short. Definetly wasn't "just standing there". Jump to 7:26


Again Jefferson can, and hopefully will, improve going into next season but I don't get or agree with this take.

So I wonder how HIGBEAST is doing? I could have SWORN that was what this thread was about.

 

[IE Rams]

I have a friend who is a big 9ers fan (I know, I know - shame on me). He tells me that the sentiment among his friends is that - yeah, Tart dropped an easy INT, but the 9ers had the ball 2 more times after that and went nowhere with it. They are putting this game squarely on Jimmy G - and to a lesser but real extent on Kyle S.

I have three good friends who are Dirty Niner fans. The two I’ve talked to both put it on Jimmy G.

 

[IE Rams]

And yeah. Any news on Higbeast?

Lol.
So… Morris is a good coach?

No… the bad guys are just the ones repeatedly attacking Morris as if he’s a bad coach or doesn’t know what he’s doing.

Looks to me like he and his defense grew through the year and were ready for the challenge.

Believe me.. none of the critics were saying.. “my bad” when Evans blew up Ramsey.

My point has always been that Morris is, in fact, just fine.

So like I said some of those passes that I said would have been difficult catches they may not be considered drops so there wasn't any "gross exaggeration".I remember several deep passes that Stafford threw short targeting Jefferson and he stood there or kept drifting down field and didn't come back to the ball and play like the defender I'm surprised you don't remember them. I never said they all ended up in interceptions they may have dropped like the pass Tart did this weekend and the video you provided he didn't do much to get back to the ball maybe he picked it up late and to his credit he did eventually make the tackle.
