Yep. That's almost exactly the view I had of that play. 100% norris' fault. He turned, stumbled and flopped like an uncoordinated boob. Any other athlete would have still caught it. He was so open he could have caught it, fallen on his back and rolled into the end zone. Embarrassing!
My thoughts exactly. Why is Norris touching the football? He should never be thrown a pass. His pads are too big, restricting his movement. He can't possibly get his arms up, let alone turn his head to see a pass coming from behind. Byham or Walker should've been used in those redzone situations. Why can't Raye be just a little creative?
