"That Bailey kid is good, man"--NFL personnel guru

One got beat by a HOFer the other got beat by an unknowner

Well, one guy tripped and the other got beat. I wasn't posting gifs last year to rag on kam.

If Kam had been healthy on that play, instead of playing on a bum knee, he would have easily broken on the ball and smacked Gates, jarring the ball loose.

Bailey fell down because he lost position and was trying to recover. It is a continual theme of his playing career, dating back to when he was at SC.

One is playing in his first NFL game, used poor technique and also had his cleat catch in the turf.

The other is an all pro who was playing at less than full physical health.

Both got burned.

The dude fell down. It happens. I don't think he'll make a habit out of it.

He was already beat though. That guru quote smacks of "Don't throw me in the brier patch brear bear".

Ole...

Bailey allowed a perfect passer rating to his area: four receptions on four attempts, 14.3 yards per reception, 17 yards after the catch with a missed tackle, and of course the 37-yard TD. 158.3 QB rating against.

Well, if a certain person actually cared about someone other than himself, he would have been in there yesterday.

Tough first game. Hopefully he learns quickly and can play like the seasoned vet the Hawks need him to be. Adversity can bring out the best in a player. He's on the right team and around the right group of guys to bring that out.

Let's go Dion... you got this, man.

I predict he will be fine.

You should all feel better now

Sherry fell down in the playoff game vs ATL...does that mean he can't cover?

You mean to tell me if a guy trips, not got beat, but trips, he'll never be anything?

As others pointed out, he was already beaten and out of position by the time he fell down. That's one of four receptions he allowed, all of which resulted in yards after the catch.

Just working on his kick step.

I feel bad for him. He clearly wanted to be the guy. I'm not going to assume at this point that he isn't capable, but he sure looked defeated after that play. The best thing he can do is learn from error and fix it. Nobody is perfect. He isn't to blame for the loss. Many things went wrong. Sh*t happens. We'll see if he can come back from this.

Man that ball was a wobbly duck too. Like I said it looks like he was already beaten of the line and fell attempting to catch up. Had he been in good position that is likely a game saving pick.
