He was wide open and missed a sure 1st down. NO excuse for dropping a pass like that.

B-Drop in full force. He's being doing that all season so far. The poor start vs. Dallas was due to his drops. Without checking, I believe he has more drops thus far than receptions. Another aged player who isn't contributing. Rather have a young, hungry player in that spot (there's an upside with them).

Not just this season, Marshall has a history of that. In 2015 and 2016 he was #1 and #2 in the NFL in most drops. 2017 IIRC he had issues also but having trouble looking up that season.

This is just another Pete "we'll fix him" move. Like Seabass, it's fish scratch fever catching up to Pete.

Idk bout "fix him" as much as it is "we don't want to commit big free agent dollars to a position we don't see as valuable cause we want to commit to the run."

Which is fine, but good lord would it kill us to draft a big body WR before the 5th round.............just once!

Would much rather have Moore in that spot, younger and hungrier. Marshall in his prime? Incredible player. But he just doesn't have it these days.

Here are a couple of WRs that are available...

Breshad Perriman, former Ravens and UCF alum, 6'2/215, He's got 4.25 speed. http://www.nfl.com/draft/2015/profiles/breshad-perriman?id=2552597. Was compared to Josh Gordon on his nfl draft profile. Apparently he has drop issues as well. Darn.

Rishard Matthews, was the Titans top receiver in 2016, 6'0/217

I'd like to see them kick the tires and bring them in for a workout.

You mean like Chris Durham?? ;)

That's about all your gunna get. We need those high picks so we can miss at Oline or Dline and RB every year. :snack:

Moore is in that spot, he had more snaps than Marshall yesterday.
