FootballDad said:It's amazing that they can write this stuff with a straight face. In other words, two dropped passes, which probably resulted in the team having to punt, are okay, as long as there are a couple of "explosive"catches to "make up for it". In a sane world, a team would instead take four "pedestrian" catches to keep the chains moving. And what exactly do they mean by "explosive catches", anyway? That he "looked good" making the two catches?Quiet Speed said:The writer of this article very nonchalantly accepts the current state of affairs.
Colts vs. Packers: The Good, The Bad, and The Downright Dreadful
excerpt:
The Good
Pierre Garçon: After a mysterious injury which led to the emergence of Collie as a real option for number two on the depth chart, Garçon returned to his usual form with a couple of explosive catches in conjunction with a couple of drops. While the drops are frustrating, they are not out of the ordinary for him and so will not count against him. He played very well, especially after missing training camp and the first two preseason games. He finished the night with two catches for 42 yards.
I've noticed that "explosive" and "explosion" are being usedquite a bitduring preseason games this year, for black players only of course. Seems to have surpassed "electric" in Caste-ese for the time being anyway, while"athletic" remains the favorite racist code word for black football players.
