WR battle

I think this part is speculation. He may work super hard but still have trouble grasping things.
When I first started playing basketball in high school, I had a really difficult time with concepts. I was extremely book smart, but I just couldn't grasp court tactics. It took me well into college (watching relatively constantly) before I started picking up nuances before not caring anymore.

The point is: someone can be passionate about it and work hard at it, but sometimes some concepts are difficult to grasp. That's why people speak about a "light going on" because it suddenly makes sense. I think that's where Janis is. His interviews this year are a lot more humble, a lot more "I've got to keep working" and a lot less "I'm just waiting for the ball because I'm ready". We're still waiting for the light to go on, but I think he's finally on the right path.

Armchair sports psychoanalysis.

Baloney. It's that stupid mustache of his that is holding him back. See, Arod wants to be the only guy on the team with that look, so he doesn"t like Janis and won"t throw to him.

I don't know if we have seen enough to debate one way or another about his route running beyond saying it appears to have somewhat improveD. My question is how are his hands? What has he looked like when a ball is in his vicinity? I have heard no comments or observations either way which screams average to me. Anyone got anything?

His hands have looked fine but both catches that are being talked about so far this preseason were absolute strikes by Hundley. That deep ball against the Redskins was amazing. Hundley hit Janis absolutely in stride 25 yards down the field into a 3 foot window.

I had 1 complaint against Janis during the game. He ran an out route and was open. The pass was thrown and he didn't come back to the ball to help his QB. He wait for the ball to come to him. Against a starting CB in the NFL that is for sure an incompletion and probably an INT.
