Fleener can't catch or pass block, Manhertz looked good in preseason, needs more playing time
Did he have a drop? The one I remember I thought looked like a missed opportunity was actually a great defensive play.I'm ready to give Fleener more than one game.
His stat line is almost identical to Ben Watson's from game one of last season and Watson went on to have the best year of his entire career.
Yeah, let's bench our biggest FA acquisition after one or two drops and zero sacks given up when he was pass blocking.
Chances are you'll see Manhertz this week anyway since Hill is banged up.
Correct. That play looked like a drop but upon closer inspection the defender made a nice play to get a hand on the ball before Fleener could touch it.Did he have a drop? The one I remember I thought looked like a missed opportunity was actually a great defensive play.
Crazy thing is for half of the money that we paid Fleener we could have keep Watson and the continuity.I'm ready to give Fleener more than one game.

And Watson would be sidelined with a torn achilles at age 35 like he is in Baltimore right now.Crazy thing is for half of the money that we paid Fleener we could have keep Watson and the continuity.
That's what I thought too but yesterday all I kept seeing on here was that he had one catch for like 10 yards and one drop. I thought it was a pass defensed as well. Glad I'm not crazy. On this at least.Did he have a drop? The one I remember I thought looked like a missed opportunity was actually a great defensive play.
This is why those kinds of stats don't tell the whole story. I don't remember all 4 passes but I remember 3. One was Brees hitting the lb between the numbers on the back. The other was a tipped ball by the defender. Another was the catch. And I don't remember the 4th."Fleener struggled, catching just one of four passes that went his way, while grading negatively as a run-blocker, where he surrendered a pair of stops." Pff analysis
Drew threw a pass way downfield, little high but very catchable. Fleener had it, timed the jump right and had his hands up, but it bounced off his fingers. Would've been a nice catch, but not a super tough one. I believe that was 3rd down, and we chose to kick the 50 yard FG on 4th which was missed, but I could be wrong on that.This is why those kinds of stats don't tell the whole story.
