On the video below, it's at the 8:30 mark. Last drive of the game. 

 the score was 38-14, with 2 minutes, the game was over.. he took his eye off it probably, to protect himself from injury which was the smart thing to do.

I was able to pick up Mayfield in Fantasy, I’m having a nightmare year since drafting Le’Veon, and trust me I’d like Ratley to have scored there, but I get it.

Imo, Bakers deeper passes don’t have the elite soft touch..... yet... I think some of the balls could use the smallest touch of air on them.

I’ll have to check the dvr when I get home, but I remember Callaway dropping a tightly contested one late in the game. 

It doesn’t matter tbh, I like the upside of out young WR crew. Perriman is basically a last option, I would imagine

I can find video of the second TD drop if you don't remember. 

You never know when it clicks for someone, and if it does, a WR threesome of Landry, Perriman, and Higgins/Callaway could be serviceable.

Ratley looked pretty good in a one sided L. He showed toughness hanging on to a pass where he was taken out from his knees from the cover 2 safety. Besides his “drop” which was a catchable pass yes, just not the easiest play to make. His overall game was sharp imo, and if Callaway can eliminate the dropsies, the receivers will be just fine.

He had two touchdown drops. It's funny that nobody remembers the other one. Everyone remembers the flea-flicker drop, but you're right, that was an incredibly hard play to make. Still, it's a difficult pill to swallow when our guys can't make the amazing plays, yet the opposition is coming down with incredible catches in the same game. Ratley's OTHER touchdown drop appeared to be much easier, but he dropped it. It was later in the game on a deep post route. There was no deep safety and Ratley basically had a free ride to the end zone. Baker's pass was slightly high, but still very catchable. I can find video of the second TD drop if you don't remember. 

Even though Perriman was cut by the Ravens, and then cut again by Washington after only 4 short days, I find myself hoping he can contribute. You never know when it clicks for someone, and if it does, a WR threesome of Landry, Perriman, and Higgins/Callaway could be serviceable. 

------------

Hopefully, Perriman has a little something for us.  We could really use a good break at WR.  I think with this influx of WR's from all corners, we're going to see an uptick in INT's and penalties.  Receivers will be lined up incorrectly, run wrong / different routes, timing will be off...and I think Baker likes to try to throw a receiver open but he'll be hesitant with the new receiver(s).  We may continue to see sacks.  People will say he holds the ball too long.

We have got the worst friggin' luck with WR's.  We bring in guys and they turn to complete $#!+.  Britt had 1000+ yards the year before.  Coleman, who we hoped would take that big step forward in his third season, instead has gone through 3 teams since August and just landed on the practice squad of a 4th team.  Untrustworthy Gordon finally got too bizarre to continue with......and  viola!   We're counting on guys like Higgins, who we were none too sure about before TC.   After Higgins gets hurt we turn to undrafted Willies, who can't survive 5 days before getting hurt and on IR.  We have to depend heavily on 2 rookie WR's.....Callaway & Ratley.  -  warm fuzzies -

Hue said he looked big and fast during practice and also caught the ball well. Here's to hoping... 

did the ground move

?Ah, there's the rub!

LMAO!!

I also remember hearing Quincy Morgan killing it at practice, too.  HAHAHAHA

Then a real nice meat of his career with the Lions

In 1995 he caught 108 passes for 1,488 yards and 9TDs.

On the same team, Herman Morore caught 123 passes for 1,686 yards and 14 TDs and Barry Sanders rushed for 1,500 yards and 11 TDs...

So don't tell me there was no offense in the 90's and all of the offensive stats now are a product of rules changes ... There was plenty offense in Motown in the 90's ...

Z

--12 yards away from 1,500 yard triplets!

I'll take a Million $$s NOT to play, even though I am the fastest 71 y.o. player you'll ever see if they'll just sign me up (I have sub 2 sec. speed from the back to the front of a RB court....if allowed to push off the back wall with my R leg).?

@jcam222 said:

Absolutely stupid signing unless they have grafted someone elses hands to his arms, Hell I am available for less than league minimum if they want someone who can't catch

?

?  We might need you at TE if Njoku doesn't solve his dropsies some time soon.  Not to worry about Perriman; because Callaway is the starting WR in the designated dropsie/deep threat to both teams position.

I gotta laugh because once upon a time I thought Perriman would be an early round steal for someone.  Then former college All American WR turned NFL HOF TE and kickass GM (Ozzie Newsome) drafted him in round 1 and I thought I pegged him right (or at least the draft analysts/scouts I learned more about him pegged him right).   Good to see he's getting another audition.  I think early injuries put him behind from the get-go so we'll see if the change of scenery and a QB like Baker can change his fortunes. When we had a QB like Sipe - we not only resurrected a ho-hum career of Reggie Rucker but also got nice productivity out of 2 grey haired fellers named Calvin Hill and Paul Warfield on the back end of their careers.   He also got good productivity out of a tall target like Dave Logan as well.  The ONLY young superstar he had was TE Ozzie Newsome.  

This "signing" takes Willies roster spot more than anything else..

If nothing else low risk to bring him in and kick the tires..   For the guys who are panicking saying we need a trade for a big ticket big name wr, Dorsey is saving that money for next season. 

He has speed, but let’s see what those routes and hands look like, it sure seems like a good opportunity for him.

I have 42.5 speed and can't catch, do you think the decimal makes that big a difference?? ?

Desperate team finds a Desperate player with a QB that can put it on him with his 4.25 speed..Stay tuned..Higgins may only need a week or 2..
