Floyd catches pretty much everything thrown his way too. It's crazy how awesome his hands are... if it hadn't been for all his injury issues through the years (definitely didn't help that he was like 6'5, 190 when he broke into the league), he'd be a much more well-known player.GoPokes86 wrote:Good for Herron! Malcom Floyd had a big game, Browns won too. Three former Pokes with solid contributions!

Poor Robert couldn't even beat a DE to the edge.

Didn't help that no one was on the DE either.
On an open field Herron would blow right past this guy. Herron was running diagonally and started a step behind the DE, who was running almost straight across the field. His first touch was at the 10 yard line and the DE was on the 20. The tackle ended up on the 20, which means Herron covered 10 yards more or less of the field before being taken down. Plus, right towards the end, Herron was slowing down as he was running out of field and going right at a defender. Nice little video, advantageous angle, but no, this guy wouldn't out run Herron.

He caught Herron after he had basically stopped, Any 4.6 speed guy can catch a slowing 4.2-4.4 guy being cut off by another player. Now if there was another 10-15 yards who knows what might have happened. But he didn't catch him in stride at full speed he caught him after Herron on the brakes.joshvanklomp wrote:BTW that was a 270 lb DE with 4.6 speed.
Put Harvin or Jackson in the same exact setup and they get caught just the same.
