Maybe Lassiter needs the Peyton Manning treatment one time.

That'd be a heckuva a moment if Retz command pointed Lassiter off the field.

oxcoug

Oct 14, 8:00am

Retz would need to be above reproach for that to happen. Way too many instances of him missing Lass when he's wide open.

Have watched every game twice - I'd say there are two instances of that. QBs

He missed him twice in the first drive alone last week. It’s not really an occasional thing. Jake acknowledged it as wel

Lassiter has dropped way too many this year, but obviously Jake is not always

Yes but even top QBs aren't always perfectly accurate - in fact the Manning / AC

It goes both ways. Lassie has caught some balls he had no business getting, and

Jake goes to him too often when others are open.

I do think we should probably not be targeting Lassiter quite as much

Roberts, Marion or Kingston could all get more targets.

We give Lassiter way too much grief. Dude is playing great.

rtNelson

Except when he drops balls that hit both hands. Some real head scratchers.

Soupie

Oct 14, 8:22am

Game before last he had 8 catches and 4 drops. FOUR!

Oct 14, 9:08am

And we're not saying don't target him at all. But give other receivers more...

Makes sense. Commentators were even noticing that when Swanson was in you knew they were trying to get him the ball and

He's a great receiver that's made a few mistakes, just like every other player,

Jake has missed an open Lassiter so many times it's criminal!!

So Lassiter needs to get on the jugs machine and do 100 catches after every practice. It’s not like it’s a problem he

Maybe he does fine in practice but has less attention control under pressure.

Plantagenet

I’m sure he does, but while game reps are severely limited, practice reps are the answer. His hands aren’t doing what

Is that why Manning killed Collie with his concussion-causing throws later

Payton's ability/record spoke for itself. Jake is years from that credibility.

Retzlaff misses open receivers, Lassiter has dropped a few. Both are excellent
