More Banjo - Packers vs Patriots

[sharpe1027]

After the second foot hits you need to perform any act common to the game (e.g., tuck the ball away, extend it forward, take an additional step, turn upfield, or avoid or ward off an opponent), or maintain control of the ball long enough to do so.

He didn't do anything after the second foot hit other than go to the ground.

PFF had Elgton Jenkins as the 3rd highest rated offensive player Sunday. They acknowledged the pass blocking problems, but gave him the Packers highest run blocking grade. Bakhtiari was Packers lowest rated O-lineman due to poor run blocking grade. https://packerswire.usatoday.com/202...over-patriots/

So I'm reading everywhere, including packer websites, that Romeo didn't "complete the catch through the ground." I really think they are all missing the bigger picture. He caught it with one foot planted. He took the second step as he positioned it more securely. If that isn't a catch I'm not sure what is anymore. The NFL has made a clusterfuck of this concept in my book.

to me what he did was just making the catch, not making a catch and then making a football move

1 foot down, the 2 and bringing the ball to his body while falling down to me is just making a catch, no extra move

screw the rule though, he needs to learn how to hang on to the fucking ball. i mentioned in the GDT that the ball comes out of his hands almost half the time he catches it, either from hitting the ground or being knocked out right after he goes out of bounds or whatever

he's great and running routes and making catches, but i have almost no confidence in him holding on to it once he gets it. the fumble and the bobble on the TD didn't surprise me one bit yesterday

the big question is, is it just rust and does he just need time. or did he lose half a step and would be better off moving to guard?

[RashanGary]

I agree with you red that once he gets the ball he loses it a lot. No surprise.

TJ Lang said Jenkins should be playing guard on Twitter. I think the move is coming.

[HarveyWallbangers]

It wasn’t a catch. I don’t know why people are even arguing that it was.

I think they’ll keep Jenkins at RT for a couple more games. That will give Yosh some time to rep at RT. If Jenkins don’t improve, they’ll make the move.

PFF makes me laugh sometimes.

This makes a lot of sense.

This.

I don't know if he just needs to out a lot more time in the weight room strengthening his arms or if there are techniques he needs to work on, but it looks like he is not ready for the power of the NFL game. He needs to make the refs and replays irrelevant and hang on to the damn ball.

Somethings wrong there. Hopefully he improves it.

That whole "football move" thing is weird to me. I keep expecting a player to make a little tap-dance move real quick so he can prove he made a move. But he hit the ground and it came out. Not a catch.

That was the change they made a couple of years ago, as an adjustment of rules about completing the catch through the tackle. Fallout from the Dez non-catch, and other cases where the ball came out after a receiver stretch for the goal line.

Apparently, reaching your off arm out to brace for co tact with the ground doesn't count. I thought when the right elbow hit the ground before the ball hit the ground, that was your football move and a touchdown. I was wrong.

Maybe if the receiver flashes a peace sign really quickly before hitting the ground that would do the trick.

[SudsMcBucky]

I only caught bits and pieces.

But a win is a win is a win.

Especially against Hoody.

That Doubs catch was a cocksuckingmotherfuckingassbleeding touch-down............IMO.

I kept arguing with the guy sitting in front of me about that fucking play. You could see it clearly on the Jumbo that it was a TD. The guy in front kept arguing it wasn't. WTF???
