    One-handers

    Am I the only one that notices how many passes fall incomplete because a receiver goes for the ball with just one hand when it looks pretty reasonable they could've gotten two hands on the attempt?

    Chandler does it a lot...so does Sammy...even FJax is guilty of it on a regular basis. The only receiver I can think of that consistently tries to get both hands on the ball is Woods.

    This is basic **** fellas, the offense might be a tad more productive if you'd quit half-assing it.

    A few times I think FJ did it to actually knock it down instead of taking a loss.

        With Chandler, often, it is a matter of him jumping and reaching for a ball with that one hand. These balls can't be cradled or two-handed. The QB is told to get the ball close and the receiver will jump to grab it.

        Still, in all, I think receiving is better now (look at completion %s) than, say, in the 1970's when there were a lot of great qbs around.

          That ball down the middle for Chandler was catchable. He just needed to jump 2-3 inches to make it happen.
