Not scoring a TD doesn't mean there wasn't an impact. For instance, it actually prevented the impact of the ball with Irvin's facemask.
I'm usually okay with the Texans going after good character guys but I wonder how much better this team would have been if the first round the past two years weren't Kevin Johnson and Will Fuller but the Chiefs' Marcus Peters. KJ and Fuller are good picks but..man!
At this point I'm disappointed. He was a 1st round pick, not a 4th or 5th. He has small hands and he's a body catcher. But, maybe I should be more disappointed in the Texans for drafting him. The Texans knew he had bad hands and they still drafted him. He can still help the Texans going forward, but I want more from a 1st rounder. Also, what's the excuse for other Texans dropping passes? Do they have small hands also?
Thank you. Many are talking about Fullee but CJ dropped a TD and a big first down in our own territory. Everyone needs to be held to higher standards. Especially in the playoffs.
When it comes to Fuller, he doesn't suck at catching just because of his small hands, he also sucks at catching due to being a body catcher. Also, everyone drops passes sometimes that they should catch, but Fuller seems to do it all the time.....and when you are trying to suggest that your first round draft pick WR dropping an easy TD on a perfect pass isn't so bad because a blocking TE had some drops too....well it's not good.
Strange response. I wasn't trying to suggest anything. And I didn't say anything about a TE. I am not suggesting Fuller "isn't so bad". I clearly stated I was disappointed in Fuller. All I did in regard to our other receivers was ask a question. Why the dropped passes? We had a lot of dropped passes this year by a lot of receivers. Even Hopkins had some drops. All receiver will have some drops, but I thought we had too many as a team.
Fair enough, it seems I misunderstood you then. I agree there were way too many drops as a team, even by Nuk who normally is sure handed.
At this point, I think the Texans need to work with Fuller on catching with his hands all offseason. He needs to be a full time kick and punt returner and he needs to be used in the slot on offense. Jalen Strong or Braxton Miller need to step up and be the number two. Probably Strong. Miller is good as the other slot guy. I'm excited to see more of Miller. I think he will have a better career than Fuller, to be honest.
The difference between CJF dropping passes and Fuller dropping passes is that CJF has far surpassed all expectations and made up for his few drops with clutch catches.
Fuller, even with baby hands, can catch a punt... needs to be back there all the time. I also like Wendall Williams to pair with him on kickoff. I don't know why, but Fuller dropped so many easy catches and yet seemed to make ridiculously hard catches at times.. My main reason for Kizer is that the 2 connect pretty well. not sure how he would be for the rest of the team.
Cjf surpassed expectations because they were low. He finally made an impact in the receiving game, but it wasn't large
2016 draft class this year was pretty disappointing outside of a few games from Fuller and Reader doing what he did when he got a chance.
I don't mind fullers drop . ****, I'd probably be so surprised that my quarterback managed to throw an on target pass I might drop it too .
Meant to type Marcus Peters AND TYREKE EVANS vs KJ and Fuller. You got your CB and your speedy receiver/returner.
