That isn't routine? The ball hit both of his palms. If you're in the NFL, that's a catch 99 out of 100 times.

That pic on Welker is incredibly misleading. It was a tough catch and not routine. No way you can say that should be caught 99 times out of 100.

Watch the video where he has to change direction and make the catch at the same time. Welker probably does make that catch quite often but if he does make that catch would everyone have said "Big deal. Just a routine catch" OR would they have said "What an awesome catch! Play of the game!" and started comparing it to other great catches? People always bring up the Dwight Clark catch and this was a tougher play than that imo. (I don't agree with the Butterfingers statement at the end of the video lol).

as far as the demo...at least in the demo things seem to move a little too fast and it looks like it brought back some shifting/skating warping of players towards tackles and stuff.

and it seems you arent given till the AI snaps the ball to flip your defense sometimes if not all the time? I'm trying to flip the defensive play but it wont let me if I dont do it before a prescribed time even though the AI hasnt snapped ball yet.

The fact that he had to jump and "flip hips" makes the catch more difficult, yes, but it still hit him square in the hands. Receivers work on flipping hips to catch the ball every day at the collegiate and even high school level, so I am sure it's practiced in the NFL as well. No excuse to drop that ball. And Belichick has been on Wes about catching the ball in his hands since he's been in New England, as he does not catch in his hands often, so when he has to - it is dropped in many cases. I guess I am wrong for saying it is routine, but this is the NFL. That catch needs to be made. If he makes the catch, sure, it's a good catch... But it is not going down in history like Manningham's, Tyree's, or even Holmes.

Read my previous comment for more, but the video does show him having to leap (about 12 inches tops), and flip hips. Not routine, fine, but definitely not asking too much from a receiver who is playing in the NFL. That should be caught even at the collegiate level. If it was such a tough catch that should only be caught sparingly, I do not believe we would of seen that reaction from Wes at the end of it. He knew it was right there in his hands, sure he had to flip hips (what he practices every day), but that NEEDS to be caught. This is the NFL.

he's human..it happens..the human body and mind can only do so much..he was off balance and out of position and gravity waits for no man LOL

..it is fascinating that those gloves can help just about anyone suck a ball into their hands now with the materials they use.

Not only are the gloves super tacky, but they make products like Gorilla Gold/Glue that they can put on their gloves in the locker room that make it dang near impossible to drop a ball.

:D All this talk of Stickum and not one mention of All-Pro CB for the Oakland Raiders, Lester Hayes!!! Nobody used it like this guy... Here are some examples:

yeah, but he just used it to upset his opponents and get it on their faces.

Fred Biletnikoff is the one who used it to catch with

Actually Freddie didn't need it to catch passes. I've seen interviews and even film clips of practices, and he never used it in practice yet he always caught the ball. He chose to use it in games because - A: It was legal at the time - B: It helped him hold onto to the ball once he did catch it and C: It was a psychological thing for him.

Lester, in 1980, had 22 interceptions in 20 games. The Raiders went 11-5 and then won 4 play-off games, including the Super Bowl. In the regular season he had 13 interceptions and an additional 4 were called back because of penalties. Then in the play-offs he had another 5. Freaking amazing season. But with - or without it - he was a top notch CB, as evidenced by his play in SB XVIII when he and Mike Haynes completely shutdown the Redskin WR's and held the highest scoring team in NFL history at that point to 9 points.

Nothing is against the rules if you don't get caught.

Yeah, 'cause we're the onnnnnnnnnnnnly ones that have ever done anything ;)
