Sure, he's not as natural of a hands catcher as others. I'll give you that.Dennis_DeYoung said:I didn't say he can't catch.
I said he's not a natural at it. Some guys just have great hands and he clearly does not.
If you are 6-4, 195, run 4.4 and have great hands you are Julio Jones. This guy is not.
Every player has weaknesses to their game and if they are just completely elite, I'm sure Bama will be on them. There are just few players that have it ALL.
When Bama is recruiting this guy let me know.
There are way more elite receivers in the country than Bama has room to take. If Bama wanted him we wouldn't have a chance. We've won nothing. They're a dynasty. -
Did you, too, coach at the highest levels of high school football?StrongArmCobra said:
I watched him coach receivers that were getting prepared for the draft as part of an NFL network show and he said out of his own mouth that he always preferred catching the ball with his body when running routes over the middle (slants, digs, drags, etc).creepycoug said:

Sorry but no. Many receivers prefer catching the ball with their body when running routes over the middle when they know they might get popped right after catching. A body catch is easier to hold onto when taking a hit than a hands catch is. This is something Michael Irvin did during his playing days and has talked about. You also have the go or post route catch. Many are taught to catch the ball with their hands reaching above their head but in reality this is a dead give away to the DB that the ball is in the air and it allows them to attack the receivers hands when the ball arrives and punch it loose preventing the catch. Most receivers in the NFL are catching the ball at chest level with their body when running these routes. Guys like Tyler Lockett and Golden Tate come to mind as guys who consistently do this. Terrell Owens is another guy who caught the ball with his body a lot.RoadDawg55 said:
Pure nonsense. I’ve never experience or heard of a WR coach that coaches his guys to catch with their body. I see body catches every weekend, but it’s not the preferred way to ever catch it.StrongArmCobra said:So one guy has the opinion that he struggles catching the ball and it is now a board fact? Sure I was joking when I said I don't see any drops on his highlight film but what if there really are no drops on his complete game film? If he catches the ball every time who cares how he catches it? I don't think people understand how many NFL WR's catch the ball with their body instead of their hands. It's pretty common and in certain situations the preferred way to catch it. If he had a problem with drops I don't think we'd be recruiting him.
Not a tangent at all. Using the body to catch is not at all a sign someone is not confident in their hands. NFL receivers do it all the time and are very confident in there catching ability.FremontTroll said:
Thats fine and all but you're on a tangent now. The original idiscusson of Lewis using his body is that he doesn't appear confident in his hands not as some type of conscious strategy he is employing as a high schooler because he is afraid of the 5'8" 170 lb safeties he is going against.StrongArmCobra said:

Don't argue Cane shit with me boy. It's a losing proposition.

You have no argument. Irvin is my source. Straight from his own mouth. You're showing giffs of him catching go routes. As I said, he said he preferred catching routes over the middle with his body as you can see here:creepycoug said:

I must admit that your steadfast adherence to even the smallest item of minutiae in your "arguments" is entertaining and sadly impressive.
You talk about this shit like it's a math formula. And you struggle, mightily, to accept even slightly opposing views, which is almost always a sign of a low IQ.

TO was great, but the dude dropped a ton of passes. Basically you don’t want to body catch because you want to use your hands for separation. That’s why coaches say shit like, “work back to the ball” and “highest point.”StrongArmCobra said:

TO and Irvin were first ballot Hall of Famers and both were frequent body catchers. Play makers make plays. Doesn't matter how it looks. Those that can't do, coach.RoadDawg55 said:

@kh83 Only because the cracker ass media wanted to teach him a lesson in humility. He has the second most receiving yards of all-time. But thank you for correcting me on meaningless semantics.

This is literally the biggest reason body catching is an issue, because you are waiting longer to take control of the ball and are giving defenders more time to hit you and separate you from the football without drawing a flag.StrongArmCobra said:

And Terrell Owens had terrible hands. -
Yeah tell that to Michael Irvin and the countless other NFL receivers, past and present, who catch with their body. This is fucking hilarious.

Wow just wow."TO had terrible hands" meanwhile you're probably some fat fuck sitting on your couch and aren't even good enough to carry that man's jock when it comes to athletic accomplishment and knowledge of the position. Second most receiving yards ever yet he had "terrible hands". Are you trying to challenge @Mosster47 for dumbest poster ever. If so bravo, you're really giving him a run for his money.
You're not waiting longer to control the ball you idiot. The ball is caught and controlled instantly instead of being caught with your hands and then needing to be pulled in and tuck away before the hit. You're not good at this and you're embarrassing yourself. -

Wow just wow."TO had terrible hands" meanwhile you're probably some fat fuck sitting on your couch and aren't even good enough to carry that man's jock when it comes to athletic accomplishment and knowledge of the position. Second most receiving yards ever yet he had "terrible hands". Are you trying to challenge @Mosster47 for dumbest poster ever. If so bravo, you're really giving him a run for his money.
You're not waiting longer to control the ball you idiot. The ball is caught and controlled instantly instead of being caught with your hands and then needing to be pulled in and tuck away before the hit. You're not good at this and you're embarrassing yourself.
Everyone knows this. But my all means keep shitpoasting for the two people who haven't figured it out yet. -

Sorry but no. Many receivers prefer catching the ball with their body when running routes over the middle when they know they might get popped right after catching.

You also have the go or post route catch.

Body catching happens. It doesn't happen because it's coached or taught or planned.
Shawn Marion hit threes while shooting from his navel. Doesn't mean suggesting a kid with Marion's shot has terrible form is bad analysis. -

You can make educated guesses on whether a recruit has hands or not based on film but you never really know. I thought Ty Jones’ were amazing based on film but so far hes shown to have inconsistent hands, which means they’re shitty.
Also, please close this thread for fucks sake. -
Like I've already explained. Body catching is not bad form. It's a different type of catching form that is utilized at the highest level. What you might hear from some nobody, white high school coach who never played at a high level about proper catching technique is outdated and false. You don't think all these pro receivers have WR coaches? Why are none of these NFL WR coaches coaching guys to only catch the ball with their hands? Perhaps because they've studied the all time great receivers and saw that many of them caught the ball with their body. It's not even debatable. Like I've already explained, there are situations in which body catching is advantageous over hands catching. It's easy as fuck for a DB to see a WR raise his hands in the air on a go route and punch the ball out. In contrast, a WR running a go and then allowing the ball to drop to his numbers and catching it with his body at the very last second gives the DB no warning when the ball is coming and no time to react.HillsboroDuck said:

Is Tyler Lockett not an extremely sure handed wide receiver? And yet he catches the ball with his body all the time. Is he not better than Doug Baldwin who's a strict hands catcher? Does anybody give fuck how either WR catches the ball because they're both very consistent at catching it?

And let's be honest, it's not like he's from somewhere in the middle of nowhere ... the DFW area has a bit of attention to it in recruiting.LaMichael_Corleone said:
I want them both. Doesn’t mean we have to pretend like this kid is Joe Ngata or in the upper tier of WR’s that’s where the disconnect is. 6’4 4.4 hell yeah sign him up and hope Pete can work his magic. But there’s a reason a 6’4 4.4 WR isn’t being sought after by the big programs.StrongArmCobra said:

1. There is such a thing as "good hands". This is a skill. Some WRs, even at the NFL level, have higher catch rates than others.
2. Even a WR with "bad hands" will catch more than he drops.
2a. Therefore a highlight reel will always only contain catches as it is a biased sample.
3. A catch can look more natural or more awkward and from this an observer can make some inferences about catch rate even from this biased sample. Just like watching highlight reels of 20% and 40% 3 point shooters.
4. These observations of how easy or difficult Lewis made the catches look are in fact EVIDENCE that Lewis doesn't have great hands.
If you show me film of a shooter and ask me to estimate what that player shoots from 3, I don't need to see the results to get an estimate just the form. Yes, there are always outliers but there are things that you look for when you evaluate if a player is smooth or natural at anything. Catching a football is in the same category.
The good thing is that you can work at improving it ... and that's great.
But as with anything, there are guys that are just unfairly natural at it and no matter how much you practice you aren't getting to that level.
