Then elaborate :roll: And don't tempt me to go find how many he dropped in that other game too. Those made me watch him closer this time.

Edit: Nevermind, he didn't drop any but the rest of the guys had quite a few. Put me on notice for this game. Sorry Darius, you're only part of the problem. My bad.


The kid made several excellent catches despite some pretty awfully thrown balls. Behind him, over throws, at his feet. Gatorade player of the year needs to ride the pine before DJ, brah.

DJ will be our leading receiver this season.

GG has completed 2/3 of his passes in each game, and has thrown a lot. He's not going to hit every one. 317 yards this week and 388 last week with no INTs. Far from perfect, but if he keeps throwing for 352.5 yards per game, more passes will end up in the end zone.

Joseph was solid. Not perfect, but solid. Replacing him shouldn't be an option, but if getting Taylor in the game is the goal, it won't be for Joseph, who's a slot WR. Taylor practices outside, doesn't he?

He doesn't necessarily need the bench, but he needs to spend every day of the next two weeks working on his catching (particularly when someone is running toward him to make a hit). 60% of my yelling at the television was directed at Darius Joseph.

Note: I had to reduce that number four times as I thought about last night...

Yes, he has room to improve. They all do.

He's also leading the country in catches (23) and in catches per game (11.5).

Don't think I'll give up on him just yet.

Some are better catchers and some are better receivers. If I am building a team and have a choice between Cole Beasley and Dez Bryant who should I pick? Cole is going to catch 99% of the passes within his reach. Dez, no so. I am picking Dez because he is the better receiver.

I did not form the dirt, just a witness. My folks did not know Adam but my mother did attend an agricultural class with Eve where they worked in the cultivation of an apple orchard.

I am beginning to like our offense if we can overcome the mental aspect of bogging down in the red zone. Next 2 games could be difficult if the OL does not get its act together, but after those 2, if we still have enough uninjured to field a team, I think we will be respectable.
