he has 6 THIS season, and we're only 3 games in. i wouldn't be so hard on him if they were difficult catches, but only catchable drops are tracked. even JDR has commented on it already.
 
I'm just pointing out that dropped passes were a complete non-issue last season, so it really can't be used to be critical of his performance.

He's dropped a few passes this year yes, half of them came in a 60 second span of play, but we are only 3 games in. Some fans are completely overreacting.
 
I'm disappointed in Coop but I haven't turned on him. Calling him DHB is very harsh.

Give him some time. Hes still only 23 which is almost as young as some of the receivers that were drafted in the 2017 class.
 
Yeah DHB doesn't have an ounce of the talent Amari has.
A race between the 2 would be pretty interesting though lol.

Crabtree didn't practice today... not good news.
 
Amari has had drop issues the entire time with the raiders, I thought he would have gotten over that already

He’ll catch the 3rd and 12 pass amongst 3 defenders but drops the easy 5 yard slant :lol
 
Amari really didn't have drop issues last year at all, drop rate of 2.0% up in the same echelon as Larry Fitzgerald and Julio Jones.

That said, that was probably an anomaly. He dropped passes at Alabama. He's going to drop a few passes in the NFL.

I don't think elite hands are a part of his player profile. He's not going to make a career in the +80 catches, sub 2.0% drop rate category but that's OK because he has other gifts that make him even more valuable.
 
Raiders can and will have to do without them.
A man whom I met who played in the league felt that the ******** prepared as if the Raiders were the AFC champions and that in itself proved to be a great strategy for success.
Del Rio knows that the stakes are much higher than last season and EVERYONE is coming for the Raiders to cap their resurgence story.
Last season's miracle run was energizing and carried the team through the season up until Carr's injury. Let's not get too high just yet.
 
Thought I read somewhere Conley is playing. Crabs is doubtful.
 
With Crabs likely out, I hope we get to see a full display of Beast Mode with at least 20 touches.

Time to take the training wheels off.
 
Better get comfortable with JDR bruh. He just gave us our best season in 20 years :lol

If I agree with you or not, he ain't going nowhere for awhile.

Tall order for Amari against these corners today.
Let's bounce back from last week and get this dub.
