    What can be done to help the Bulldog receivers?

    What do you think Mullen could do to help them out?

    Play Couch like he did against BYU and move Gray to the slot.

    If we're going to give validity to this idea that Fitz not throwing the most catchable ball plays a significant part in the drops, then he and any receivers who feel like it's a problem need to get together and play catch for an extra hour every day for the rest of the season. Fitz can't improve his fundamentals and mechanics in the heat of the moment overnight, but our receivers can do more to get used to the ball he throws now if they're not already.

    ....put in a call to former Raiders WR Lester Hayes and see if he's got a jar of stick-um he can send us***

    Throw the ball mixon?s way more often. He seems to be coming along...

    Vs LSU = 6 catches 97 yds
    Vs Georgia = 3 catches 12 yards
    Vs auburn = 1 catch 45 yards
    Vs BYU = 5 catches 69 yds

    Certainly not great, but showing promise.

    Truth. Couch is close to being the guy. He's almost there. He needs to have his best game so far this Saturday.

    Fitz was 19 of 30 with 6 CLEAR Drops. Add in those 6 and Fitz is 25 of 30 80% which is Heisman QB type numbers.

    Yes, there were six clear drops. But 3 of those were on passes that were behind the WR or that they had to adjust to make the catch. Passes that I fully agree "should" have been caught, but Fitz didn't make those catches as easy as they should have been. His accuracy still needs improvement.
    It's the roller coaster of hope that this program keeps us on that makes it hell being a State fan. - CadaverDawg, 10/15/22

    Any of the sports media/stats sites actually track "Drops"? I'd be interested in seeing those numbers for the past few years

    1. Fire the current Wide Receiver coach. 2. Hire a Wide Receiver coach who can Recruit and Coach SEC caliber Wide Receivers.

    Isn't the current WR coach also the Co-coordinator of the passing game? I think the OL coach is also the current co-coordinator of the running game. Correct me if I am wrong.

    When I was writing the article I couldn't find one unfortunately. Would love to see the actual number.
