Steve Smith Sr. Breakdown of Drops vs Lions

[DenverChief]

Summary:

1. Skyy Moore drop at the 10 yard line - Skyy sped the route up too much - needed to chop the steps off the line to buy time for the RPO. Patrick put the ball in the correct spot, Skyy was just a step or two too fast.

2. Skyy Moore drop at the 45 yard line - great play by the DB playing the ball not the play.

3. Kadarius pick 6 - Lack of concentration a little bit of "I got this" and "oops"

4. Kadarius/James Mesh - James ran the route too deep - tried to correct the route and messed up the play blocking KT's view - James lacks field awareness at times - not KT fault.

5. Kadarius drop at the 40 - KT didn't sit down on the route and floated into the defender - defender made the play. The body language on this catch showed that KT was just trying to get thru the game - instead of attacking the ball with hands waiting the ball into the body.

6. Kadarius drop on last drive - Takes eye off the QB to look at what he was feeling (being wide open). "The toughest catch in the NFL is the one where you are wide open."

Nothing was working that night - really just a summation of the way things were going through the night.
