An inconvenient fact for the Lion fans.

"Well get that corrected" Mike McCarthyism that, well, applies:



LaFleur made a repeated point in the off season about the lack of 'chunk' plays last year. It looks like these guys are trying to get what the coach wants. Defenders are so fast in the NFL that the guys who CAN make a catch without looking the ball all the way to their hands have a distinct advantage.

I don't know if you can teach soft hands, though. Make the catch and take what you can get.

Obviously need to clean it up, but thankfully the offense is functioning at such a high level that it really didn't matter that much overall.

Yeah, it would really suck to have a play like that late in a game that's tied or we are behind by less than a TD. Or even worse a game ending play like the Lions week 1. 

One last observation from Sunday's game.

Accounts of MVS' upside always mention his speed as the unique asset that makes his potential worth waiting for. So how does he get caught from behind on that long sideline play?
