Maybe this is why he doesn't have a catch... His shoulder doesn't have anything to do with his catching ability. If he can be hit by 300+ lb lineman he can catch the ball.. What him catch atleast two passes this game.<BR/><BR/>Zeke<BR/>CaliAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-31207772403907850552008-11-13T15:26:00.000-05:002008-11-13T15:26:00.000-05:00The point is that Parker isn't utilized in the pas...The point is that Parker isn't utilized in the passing game like Moore is. I don't know if it's chicken or egg, but if Parker is in the game, I don't expect him to suddenly catch several passes per game.

I can only remember pass attempt to Parker this year that was an incompletion. I think he was running a route on the play as a wr. At the very least, he was some distance down the field.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-81731635254164725772008-11-13T13:43:00.000-05:002008-11-13T13:43:00.000-05:00kelly,Parker isn't a check down option because he ...kelly,<BR/><BR/>Parker isn't a check down option because he has ZERO catches this season. I am not going to argue whether it's because of ability or design, but the end result is that he doesn't have a single catch. Then add in the fact that he has a bum shoulder, which could make it hard for him to raise his hands to make the catch.<BR/><BR/>Would I like to see Parker utilized in the passing game. Sure. But I'm just going by the evidence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-63459606428113592602008-11-13T11:36:00.000-05:002008-11-13T11:36:00.000-05:00We need to put Marvel on IR immediately and sign s...We need to put Marvel on IR immediately and sign some depth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-5427038672545613452008-11-13T10:19:00.000-05:002008-11-13T10:19:00.000-05:00Why isn't Parker a check down option??

Just because Ben doesn't use the check downs, doesn't mean he can't catch. I seem to remember parker running some nice screens way back when...

Of course, the team still has holes at LT and needs help elsewhere along the o line next year, but at least they aren't depending on a broken down Smith.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
