He's catching heat for the fumble, but IMO that was a great play by a great defender. He turns and bang Woodson punches it out, I mean it's tuff to cover it any tighter when he's thinking turn n go.
Looked like he was holding the ball fairly casually to me. For someone with so few receptions, you'd think that he'd err on the side of caution.
When Roy showed up last year, I was pretty excited about the possibility of the "double threat" despite misgivings about the ridiculous price Jerry paid for him, but I remember the first red flag was his statement early on that it would take a half season or so (I think) to get on the same page with a new quarterback. Even if that is the truth, it seemed like a non-elite thing to say, and he's been a bust ever since.
He'd have to play at an extraordinary level for a number of years to justify his cost in terms of cap and trade value, but at this point, all I hope is that he can be a solid #2 or even #3 that Tony only spends a 3rd look on rather than wasting pocket time hoping that Roy will figure out how to get in the right place at the right time with actual defenders on the field opposing him. Last week he seemed to be getting the route thing down a little bit better which is encouraging, he just can't afford to forget the catch and hold part of it, while he's at it.
