    Coach Mike Munchak saw more dropped passes than he’s comfortable with on Monday.

    One sequence was particularly telling, as three Matt Hasselbeck passes in a row were dropped – two by running back Chris Johnson and another by rookie tight end Taylor Thompson.

    “I think it’s a mental toughness thing,” Munchak said of the drops, the majority of which came toward the end of practice. “You had the pads on (for the first time), so it’s a little hot. We also practiced last night. Guys get a little tired. That’s why some balls start dropping. It’s something you have to learn to play through … The temperatures are going to be hot in September and you have to catch the ball.”

    Thompson, a fifth-round pick, had a couple of drops. One was in the team drills and the other was in seven-on-seven, after he broke into the open deep down the right sideline.

    “Yeah, I’m just getting back into it, and then you’re getting the pads back on and getting used to catching with them on,” Thompson said. “Those were probably all factors.”

    Taylor Thompson dropped the pass, because he was blitzing the QB, who he then realized was Colin Mccarthyo_O

    The good news is that Our stating WRs are not out there to catch the passes. The bad news is that Our starting WRs were not out there to catch the passes.

    Yeah, and you gotta figure the fact that one of them just shot himself in a parking lot might have had some effect on the concentration of the others.

    I'd expect to hear that Thompson dropped a ball, he played defense last year.
