So have we considered converting any of receivers to cornerbacks since they obviously cat catch.

I have been wondering what the hell is going on with the receivers. Timing, velocity, focus, chemistry, etc. It's wild though

Nailor has two this year that caused INTs. Three if you count the second one from today. Not ideal.

You can tell when Addison comes to play, which has not been often this year, his head does not seem to be in the game. His level of effort and focus does not seem consistent game to game and has been great most of the year.

You can't put that on Nailor,  that was high and behind him,  he made a good effort on a bad pass, luck just wasn't in the teams favor on that one.  Typically if the defender is playing the ball that gets picked easier being behind the receiver regardless,   just bad bounce IMO.

The second one that got called back was on JJ. High and hot. The first one went thru Nailor's hands, very catchable.

Still thrown behind him and high as he jumped and turned awkwardly for the ball IIRC.

the wide receivers, offensive line and defensive line have all been inconsistent this year

Injuries, bad scheme fit... I dunno.

Major disappointment

I remember that from the INT that got called back, but not the first one.  It was a bit behind I think, but catchable.  The other was all on JJ.

Out cutting routes need to be thrown to the outside,  reciever is running blind to a ball that is typically thrown before they have a chance to get their head around and see the release,  when the ball isn't where its supposed to be thats hard to put it on the receiver unless they ran the route wrong,   which could be the case here,  but there has been so many timing routes that have been errant its hard to assume that it always the receiver. 

We can assume catchable, or the same assumption could say he made a great effort to even get his hands on the errant throw.  Either way the ball wasn't where it needed to be,  but I am seeing improvement from JJ in that he is bringing his misses down from early in the season where he was sending them 3 feet over their targets hands.   It's growth.
