Metcalf seems to not come down when pass is contested

[cdn hawk fan]

This seems to be a trend. When he is wide open and an Easy catch he looks good. He can’t use his size and speed to be a difference maker. Something seems off with him this year

He's no AJ Brown

I feel at times... with those he plays for a flag than to make the catch tbh. Like there he was looking at the ref witha "well?" since the DB didnt look back.

This is why I've been critical of him. He plays half his size when covered and tracking the ball. The pass hit him right in the shoulder

That was catchable.

I hate Geno's decision to throw that instead of a higher percentage 1st down option...but for DK's size and compensation he should win waaaaaay more of those than he does.

He's paid like he is

He’s need to freaking ignore the refs and just play the god damn game.

That was catchall.

He completely sucks at contested catches, especially jump balls. Tate was half his size and way more reliable

It feels like he's regressed here slightly this year. I think he was better last year with contested catches.

Metcalf is limited as a pass receiver. There's things he just can't do, or can't seem to learn to do. And, yes, he doesn't have great hands.

I could move on from Metcalf this off season.

 

[WarHawks]

He didn't high point the ball, and let it hit him on the shoulder. Sigh.

He doesn't know how to, and he can't seem to learn to.

Don’t say anything critical about DK. People here will get mad and call you a DK hater.

He might just be a better tight end or used more in the slot to get space. He's a good blocker too

His best years were the Wilson years.
