I am sure I saw him drop one

They are VERY picky about what counts as a drop in the NFL.

I think it was the Raiders game. He caught it, but the defender hit him at the last second causing him to dislodge it. I don't know if that counts as a drop.

The thing with drops is that most fans see a player get two hands on the ball, no matter how errant the throw, and assume automatically that it's a drop, but drops are only charted for catchable passes.

Additionally, I'd imagine circumstances where a defender dislodges the ball aren't counted, either.

But, I will admit that I didn't see this particular play.

Edit: I found that particular play.

He had to make a pretty big adjustment to the ball and was hit near immediately from behind. I'm sure that's why it wasn't counted as a drop.

For those saying it was, think of it like an error in baseball- getting a glove on a ball, but failing to reel it in doesn't automatically make it an error. It has to be fairly egregious.

Here's a stat to trigger a large portion of the Ravens fan base-

Hollywood Brown has 45 targets without a drop so far this season.

He’s certainly had drops because I’ve seen them personally, idgaf what they count as “not a drop” lol

I see the stat is doing what I expected it to do so far.

Well played

 

[29BmoreBird22]

Well played

Admittedly, it is an entirely subjective stat, so it's got some wiggle room for either side to be right at times.

If that wasn't a drop nor was Lee Evans

I still remember a long discussion on one of Perrimans drops, where the board was split on whether it was a drop or not.

Well I declare myself right

If lee evans attempted to secure the ball and failed, it’s a good defensive play. But that’s not the case lol

Our schedule this year is so fucking easy. If this team does worse than 11-6 I'll be completely shocked and hugely disappointed because something went totally wrong

which is bizarre because i thought i saw him drop one lol
but he also really wasnt bad with drops in baltimore at all

EDIT: probably didnt count as a drop but it's similar to a bunch of plays he had with the ravens too

So for the Hollywood "drop" against Vegas does that count as a PBU for the db?

 

[Tank]

When you catch the ball cleanly and immediately turn and drop to the ground, does that count as a drop?

Playoffs started and the sport is awful. I truly have no idea how they offer the contracts they do.

I have several friends that love baseball with a passion and it just confuses the shit outta me.

Good baseball is great.

Since most of you are O*****es fans I understand the distaste for the sport lmfao
