Batted and dropped balls

I would like to know the amount of drops this season and batted throws by Ben. It's a problem.

I hope our WR's use the Jugs machine this week while they are making Tik Toks...they look afraid to me.

 

34 drops most in the league, dont know abt batted balls

 

Washington and Johnson are garbage . They show flashes of being starters, not stars. Ebron is better but also has suspect hands. Juju and claypool are the only receivers that have any business starting on an nfl team. Not long ago they would be backing up Ward, and 2 other starters. So yea we need pro wr’s.

difference now being we have no depth or running game. So it is what it is. Hopefully one or both of them shows progress. Our first pick in the draft should be a WR IMO . Unless a QB is worth taking.

OLB’s should be easy enough to sign and draft. So find a guy to replace Dupree and get some veteran competitors to upgrade our o line and rb. Hopefully Ben is back and we can land a WR with good hands.

 

I'm going to stand by a statement I made in another thread. Ben has been wildly inaccurate throwing the long ball (usually overthrowing). His 5 and 10 yard passes he is drilling them as if he is trying to throw a bullet 40 yards downfield. Is he hiding an injury as he usually does? His elbow may still be an issue and as his throwing motion has changed and he looks as though he is overcompensating with other muscles in his shoulder to get the ball there. He just doesn't have the "touch" for the shorter passes.

 

You are correct about the long passes. He isn't even giving his receivers a chance on many of them. Take the first throw of the game as an example of that.

With a few exceptions, you are wrong about the short passes. Johnson is constantly trying to run before he secures the ball. Ebron just doesn't focus consistently. Smith-Schuster had a big drop on third and long early in the game. The throw was a little low, but it is one he has to catch. Those drops are on the receivers, not Roethlisberger.
