HessStation Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 The Gordon "drops" were all difficult plays to make. It's not like he was standing open in the endzone and dropped one that hit him in the hands. hacked account or secret drug dependency? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayJoe12 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 No they weren't. He had two in the first half where he was wide open with ball delivered perfectly and he just dropped them. The one in the end zone had tight coverage but the ball hit him on the hands -- never being touched by the DB. This was a guy people were going to give up a 1st + 3rd or two 2's for. Guys at that level catch that ball. Milliner played well and looked like an NFL corner for the first time, but he has a log way to go before "shutdown" can be used. Calvin Johnson has 9 drops this year and two last week alone that hit him square in the hands without a defender anywhere within 5 yards of him. This myth of a receiver who never drops the ball or makes a mistake is like the fish story. When the guy is putting up 1600 yards and 9 tds, you live with those types of plays. You don't want them, but you can live with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LWC611 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I thought Millner had a good game as well . Let's hope he can put toghether two in a row and finsh the season strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HessStation Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 For ****'s sake let keep it real. We're all really happy Milliner Finally made some excellent plays in the 3rd QT. The best part about the two big breakups and the pick was he actually broke on the ball. No BS where the DB turns and it hits him in the hands. The cherry on top was it was vs one of the best WRs in the NFL. The downside is he still looked completely lost in the first half and still gave up some big plays in between the nice ones in the second. Unfortunately 7-105-1TD is not getting shutdown (if Gordon catches the easy TD). Not to mention a couple other drops throughout. You would also need to add the additional catches and yards via Cooper at times, as well. So although heartwarming he finally, actually looked like a football player a few times yesterday vs. very good competition he still needs to get a lot better. Let's hope in was the beginning of more to come as you could see his confidence growing as the game continued. He by no means should be considered a bust yet as CB, minus QB, is probably the hardest position for to learn for a rookie in the NFL. So yaaay Dee Milliner. You finally made some nice plays. That's good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are counting they yards Cooper got against him, I'm pretty sure some of Gordon's came against Cro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Cooper's should be added to the total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Crusher Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Great development from the coaching staff. Stuck with him, tested him and he's responded well. He's still got a long way to go. You mean it took Rex 15 games to develop a rookie corner? Guy sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinnys025 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Some of you are delusional. Ed Reed was playing over the top on almost every play for deep help and yet Milner still gave up alot of short stuff because he wasn't looking at the ball whatsoever.... Milner can never play man to man successfully with his technique, it has to be disguised and not obvious or else QB's are throwing his way almost every time, even Campbell knows this and he's not very good.. Don't be fooled so easily, look how the Dolphins passing game was shut down this week, now look at how they torch Milner for over 100 next week....although I still think Jets will win this game.

No worries. Our new HC and DC will install a defense that relies on zone coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CotcheryifyouCan Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 he played better but still not gret. he gives a ton of cushion to recievers, is a terrrible tackler, and rarely turns his head to the ball. Also Gordon had a few drops that could of been big. But kudos to the kid for staying at it each game and getting bettter. seems to be improving weekley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetscanes331 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Felt like bumping this thread instead of starting another Milliner one. Think he showed some improvement again this week. Once again, give him an off-season to get better and put on some muscle and he can turn out just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurnleyJet Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 To me he's turn a corner last two weeks, he's making breaks on the ball driving to it. Knocking the ball down and now picking off the Q.B. BTW any one see Revis get burnt like toast on that TD pass from Brees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
