Run, block catch. I wonder if he can throw an option pass?

Dude alligator arms it at the wrong times

I love Vernon and believe he's a truly unique package at tight end, but like 49AllTheTime, I have also noticed the short arming of some throws. He absolutely refuses to lay out for catches, like yesterday on that long bomb. Just a couple of inches more and it's a huge completion. I really can't recall him ever laying out for a catch. Having said that, I'm not sure I'd trade him for ant tight end playing today, especially for our offense. It should also be noted that his hands are light years ahead of the early Vernon. It's obvious he's been working on that.

not everyone is capable of laying out for a ball. as a former shortstop in baseball i played with a bunch of great fielders who werent able to lay out for a ball. some guys have it and some dont in that regard. fortunately he has the speed to out run a bunch of people and get to balls without laying out that other would have to lay out for just to touch with their finger tips.

plus a dude that big and lets face it, VD runs and moves pretty awkward, I dont think its worth it to injure him for one catch. hes had a history of injuries and we cant afford to lose him for any amount of time. im perfectly fine with him not diving for catches, hes a big dude and he isnt the most coordinated so he may hurt himself and royally f**k us in the playoffs if he misses any time.

Not surprised it's shutdown. Ebay killed all the stores
