Thigpen is Back

Practice Squad singning

 

Landry is a rookie and he has made some rookie mistakes but at some point he may start as a WR and they will need Thigpen as a returner.

 

Bingo.
The good thing about this, if they put Thigpen back in that role (it sounds like they signed him to the PS) then Landry won't get himself killed back there. That one last week that he didnt fair catch and he got smoked made me cringe. Kid is tough though, I'll give him that. He's taken some big shots this year already in 3 games.

 

With the way our receivers our playing (sans Wallace), I think you;re right.

 

Landry has dropped a ton of passes ... His game is as weak as anyones atm.

 

Yeah, pretty disappointing after hearing all about his great hands.

 

Let Landry learn for crips sake, he shown enough early that he's got good skills to be a good returner..punt returner is a different beast it takes some reps to adjust to all the ball flights comin at you..he will fine, way better than Thigpen.

 

Hes dropped two?

 

That is too much in three games.

 

For some rookie receivers, the speed of the game is really hard to adjust, and it makes them think before they catch a pass. Landry had great hands in LSU, but now he's seeing how defensive backs/linebackers close in compared to college football, it's gonna take time to get used to.

 

Thigpen is "back"

That is more accurate.

 

Yeh but two is not a ton of passes..just saying

 

Thiggy!

 

A ton is too big of a word, however he has what, 8 passes thrown his way. I am too lazy to look it up. It is not like he is getting a lot of passes to justify two drops.

 

La plus ca change...


My two cents via iPhone.

 

Just sayin...Marion Grice was just available on waivers. Bruce Arians' Cards scooped him up for a look.

 

...Ted Ginn.

 

What Is your point?

 

Landry Has the goods and smarts to be a good returner..don't take his reps..

I guess folks forget how he ripped up the field in his first preseason game too.

There is gonna be some ups and downs, let him settle in, let him gauge the spin of the ball before you do whatever it is some are suggesting..

Kid runs thru the smoke at full speed, and cuts at full speed on returns, which results in great angles, we know he's got hands, give him a little time to find the timing.

 

I never thought Thigpen was better than mediocre as a returner. I think Landry has the potential to be much better.

Hopefully this is just a case of the team hedging in case Landry can't be coached out of the mistakes.

You don't need to justify them though. Just gauge whether his hands are a problem, and there is no history to suggest they are
