Exactly…That’s what i’m saying. He didn’t do what he is usually known for, tough catches in traffic. Then he complains about getting hurt when that’s his bread and butter play.

Actually, if you look at his catches this season, he had plenty of tough catches in traffic. (and yes, I just looked at a nearly 13 minute video of his catches this season). And it's one thing to make touch catches in traffic but that was an unfortunate throw that left him exposed and it was a freak injury. But the reality is, he made plenty of those plays that you said he didn't. He had more bad passes thrown his way and drops and flat out misses.



At some point, we just might need to acknowledge that the timing issues that they were having all offseason bled into the season, but there is plenty of evidence showing MT making tough, contested catches in traffic.
