mwalker Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Way too many drops. It's starting to get annoying. He had a TD and a couple big gains, one on a big down. Ebron too, but he's always dropped more than he should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CKSteeler Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 It's year two so maybe he turns things around, but at this stage Diontae to me is a poor man's Santonio Holmes. Similar players with similar skillsets. Both inconsistent, but one guy was clutch as hell and the other has not been yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
August4th Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 he's a feast or famine type player might be the reason we lose or win a playoff game this yr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilantZombie Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Diontae's issue is focus imo. He is too worried about rhe play after the catch. He doesn't take enough patience and focus to make the catch first. He had an easy walk in TD, but instead, he dropped rhe pass because he ran right through the pass heading to the endzone, he didn't bother focusing on actually catching the ball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebrick Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 He makes the tough catches and drops easy ones. Ebron was Ebron as well. Too many critical drops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwalker Posted December 3, 2020 Author Share Posted December 3, 2020 I just read that Steeler receivers (WR and TEs) were credited with 17 drops against the Ravens. Can that be accurate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warfelg Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Personally to have this many I think it shows the physical and mental toll having two games moved, not non-practice bye week (this whining from Ravens fans makes me to punch em in the teeth), and the general lack of concentration. The first two certainly making the last worse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelers Depot has them at 7. IIRC that’s 3rd most in a single game this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely agree with this. Seems when he has anytime to think he drops it. But when it’s just a split second he comes up with a great catch. Been far to common, getting pretty tired of it.

Give him a deep circus pass ball and he got it. Give him the layup on a slant and it’s a drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rackcs Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 We knew what we were getting with Ebron though, he's always been this way. He'll make ridiculous circus catches but drop the most routine stuff. As for Johnson, it's very disappointing. He can be a very talented playmaker if he could just get the drops handled. I was looking for him to make a big step forward this year and he's definitely looked good but between the little injury stuff and now the drops, he seems a little bit unreliable to me. Still plenty of time to turn it around though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he had one bad game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
