I'm using this video to show what his potential is, yes. We have had way too many sub-par showings this year from Bryant and I thought it would be refreshing to remember that he actually can be a dynamic player. Coates could be dynamic too. But there are things about both players that are less than desirable. I'm hoping we can see more of *good* Martavis in the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcash4 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Gotcha, and I can agree that I hope we see some of those highlights the rest of the year. My problem with Martavis is that he does not take more than he is given (and has a tendency to not even take that). Even those highlights, they are all "be fast and basket catch this". Outside of his speed, none of it is really impressive. Even the open field runs are laughable that people were not able to bring him down, because outside of speed he does nothing impressive. His lack of athleticism with the ball in his hands amazes me. The catch @steelcurtain29 referenced and posted the video of highlights Bryant down right dropping a perfectly thrown football that 90% of NFL receivers probably catch cleanly -- yet somehow he lucks into maintaining the football. We just seem to be seeing that this year that his inconsistencies and lack of detail are causing things not to come together perfectly, which seems to be how most of his plays were made. I am hoping that its largely due to the fact of being out of football and out of practice for so long. But remembering when to turn your head on a RPO just flat out not stopping on your sprint are the details that are keeping himself from making the plays. I do hope it all comes together, but I am not holding my breath. And when he does finally have a 70+ yard touchdown, I wont think he is "back" -- rather just doing what he has always done -- make one big play then disappear for a while.

MOSteelers56 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I wish Bryant would attack the ball like AB does. He snatches that thing out of the air. AB rarely lets a ball get to him. That is a sign of a great WR and Bryant doesn't do it. The ball has to land in his basket. Unfortunately that is a very rare trait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is another guy on this team that has those natural kind of hands your talking about -- JuJu. I would pay very good money just to sit and watch JuJu and AB play catch all day. Just clean and natural pass catchers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even alot of great WRs of the past never did that. Bryant doesnt need to be perfect. He doesnt need to be a great all around WR. He just needs to excel at the things he does best, because we already have one (maybe two) complete receivers on the team. If he can just start capitalizing on his chances, he will do great things for us and for his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlevinKelevra Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 I still think Bryant- his other issues aside- might be like DHB. The guy who despite all athelticism and attributes seemed to have minor visual problems that suddenly went away when he moved to another team and took a physical.
