    This and might want to keep your eye on the ball placement by the QB. They were rarely placed in the correct location. I understand if it hits your hands, you should catch it, but placing it near the numbers on the jersey makes it a whole lot easier for the WR to catch the ball when a defender is all over you.

    So far Ive made it to week-5 vs the Browns, and just 3 slips.

    First slip was week-3 in Cincinnati in the 1st quarter. Looked like he was trying to avoid contact, so more of a dive than a slip, but hard to be sure....

    2nd slip was week-4 in Indy also the 1st quarter of the game. Wright jukes a DB but tries too hard vs the next DB and loses his footing.

    3rd slip was week-5 3rd quarter. Looks as if Wright tried one of those backward Dexter McCluster moves, cost him some yards but FWIW the DB also slips LOL.

    Its worth noting week-5 was the first signs of Wright with new cleats on.

    Stay tuned....

    I understand that DGB did not play for Oklahoma last year but he was still training and practicing with the team. It's not like he was just laying in bed and binge watching netflix every day waiting for the draft.

    He'll probably still be affected by not playing in a real game for over a year but some act like he didn't even touch a football during that time. He's playing a little catch up right now but hopefully by mid-season we'll see him in the line up.

    Chris Simms thinks DGB will be the #1 and lead the team in yards.

    But it's Chris Simms, IDK much about him as an analyst.

    Valid argument except that no coach anywhere is going to do a walk through/game simulation with ineligible players.

    Sure he was there running drills and watching tape, but he wasn't very involved. At best he got to run the scout team, but then he comes here and pulls a hamstring...

    Im not impressed yet. And I hate WR's who get drafted on size, theyre WR's, they first need to be able to run and get open, then catch, none of that is DGB's strong suit...

    He's actually a good analyst, he's like a younger version of Trent Dilfer, I like Simms

    I just saw a few videos of him talking up the Titans on team stream.

    He seems to like the Titans this year, so I'm cool with him.

    4th slip week-11 in Pittsburgh, but Id call it more of Wright giving himself up after getting the 1st down, either way he leaves yards on the field that play.

    5th slip I found was week-12 in Philly 4th quarter. Wright burns 4-5 guys then loses traction trying to juke the FS and his 4 friends.

    6th slip was week-16 in Jacksonville. Balls thrown behind him he adjusts but cant keep his footing to get the yards after the catch..

    Overall just 6 plays that are tagged with Wright in them show up throughout the season, but I know theres a few more he falls down on and isn't in the frame, so he wont be tagged...

    At worst he fell down 8-9 times...
