I heard this more than once. Does anyone know what in particular is wrong with the way Sam Hurd catches the ball?

I really think this guy has something and will be a go to guy someday.

Maybe he doesn't catch with his hands or his hands are too far apart. Don't know..

He's not thinking of playing special teams when he does it.

I believe it was said that he keeps his hands too far apart at times.

NO, he doesnt put his hands together when he catches it, their spread apart,

on special teams, hurd has no clue, on one coverage he blocked our guy reeves on the play.

hope that helps, their trying to teach him to have his hands together when he catches the ball not one handed grab.

You're right... I've also seen him use his body to catch it rather than his hands and I'm sure they'll stay on him about that as well.

So basically he isn't plucking the ball?


How can you pluck a ball? I've never seen feathers on a football...

Everytime I've seen him run comeback routes he catches the ball with his chest, thats how he had those two drops in Seattle.

the term of plucking it would be that ur not plucking something off the ball but plucking the ball out of the sky

i think it's that he isn't bringing his hands together fast enough

This is just the start of Parcells secret conspiracy to sabotage Hurd's career.

Gee, and here I thought me putting "Zing!" at the end of that post would of made it obvious that I was joking.


I guess not.

I believe Parcells said he doesn't always get his hands turned so sometimes he tries to catch the ball at an awkward angle.
