6.8 Billion people; how many can catch?

[Jigawatts]

Out of the 6.8 billion people on this planet, NFL veterans, rookies, and even practice
squad hacks are the best in the world at what they do. It baffles me when the opposing
teams quarterback throws a pass to one of the goobers in our secondary, and said goober
drops the the effing ball. You might be saying, "Jiga, if they could catch the ball they'd
be a receivers instead of defenders." I call shenanigans on that excuse.

My four year old daughter can catch a ball when you hit her in the chest with it. Maybe
if she learned to play 10 yards off the ball, Little Miss Jigawatts can be a starter in our
pathetic secondary. How the hell is someone in the NFL and not athletic enough to catch
a football?

Well, I think it's just that our whole secondary is NOT focused on getting
between the QB and the WR, period. So, when the ball does come at them
they're entirely unprepared.

I mean, all season long I've constantly complained during the games that
what good does it do if we lay them out AFTER they pick up the first
down, over and over and over again?

All we do is make a episode of "jacked up"...but lose the friggin' game...

Our priorities are not in the right place in our secondary. And, I do blame that
on coaching.

maybe another method of motivation is needed....

To answer your question (and if you are referring to the Joe Burnett catch): 6,799,999,997 probably make that catch... please note that I'm giving the benefit of the doubt to notables Limas Sweed, Nate Washington...

Joe Burnett drops it. Ike certainly drops it. And probably one other person out there in the world.

[BATMAN]

Of the 6.8 billion, I can name a few that can't catch.

Ike Taylor
Burnett and not Carol Burnette
Wiliiam Gay
Lima Sweed
Ryan Clark

How about Nate Washington...

[RuthlessBurgher]

Sgt. Four Leaf Tayback makes that catch.

In fairness it was cold and that was Burnett's first play off the bench.

At least he was in position.
