Looks bad for McCoy

[Totally_Red]

from Darren Urban's blog:
Receiver LeRon McCoy got in and got open, but he dropped a couple of passes -- including one that would have been a long touchdown -- and he can't afford those mistakes.
.....
One other thing noticable: LeRon McCoy is behind the big three at receiver, as well as Micheal Spurlock, Sean Morey and Ahmad Merritt, who all got in before McCoy. That doesn't bode well for a guy who was once thought of as a diamond in the rough.

He may not make it past the first cut.

nor should he with that damn td drop

 

[clif]

sorry when your only skill is catching passes you can't drop them.

No more free meals i guess.

Too bad so sad.

Thats really to bad. he was having great prectices when I was there and hauling everything including some really tough catches.

That should have been a catch, fumble and touchdown. He had control of the ball until he hit the ground.

I was disappointed in McCoys performance. I was hoping he would make the team. Dropping the ball is not good if you are a WR. BJ had a good game.

One game. Lots of pre-season left. I agree, it looks bad for him right now, but did Fitzgerald play any better? I think not. Patience.

I think I agree, he made a fantastic grab, but landing on his back and elbows. The impact to his elbow by the ground-contact jolted the ball free, but he had control of the ball before he landed.

When I the first cuts?

(not to imply that McCoy will be cut)

I agree .. McCoy deserves another chance .... its only the first preseason game ...

Well said.

Sometimes guys have "bad hair days" and it would be unwise to cut a guy just because of one rotten game. The question the coaches should be asking about McCoy is: "Is his problem chronic?" Or was did he simply fall into a funky rut that he can come out of? (it isn't as if LeRon didn't make a few clutch catches last season. He's shown he has talent and can catch the ball).

My point - the two surprise injuries to Chike and Oliver Ross should teach us that you don't want to cavalierly cut guys prematurely - if other guys go down, we may need them.
.
That said - the competition for the #5 and 6 receiver spots is so intense that McCoy's performance Saturday could be enough to pull him down below guys like Watkins and Breaston on he depth chart.

Too bad for LeBron James.

drug testing would have caught it if it was
