He should be thinking it's coming his way every single time he's on the field and running a route.
Higbee appears to have avoided serious knee injury

And I've been calling him Higbeast the whole time.
HaHa, I was kinda saying that above without saying it directly. He had his head around and split the CB & Safety just like he should.
He just didn't track it exactly right and his late adjustment made it harder. For a first year developmental WR I have been pleased. The game will slow down and his ability to recognize, read and react will get much easier.

Rookie move imo. He'll get better and it shows how smart the guy is that as a rookie they're putting him out there as much as they do. Just his misfortune that we're so stacked at WR.
Glad to hear this isn't super serious. Really hope he works his way back for the SB, if not I think Blanton showed enough to make a difference if he's called upon. He really impressed yesterday.

Yes. In the last game of the regular season in the 9er loss.
Taylor Rapp was our starting safety all season with Jordan Fuller but has not been active for any of the 3 playoff wins in which the Rams won with Reserve Safety Nick Scott replacing him.
I would not change the 2 main safeties for the last 3 gms for the big SB game. I would hope that both safties Rapp & Burgess will be available in a reserve capacity.

Yeah, they can take weeks depending on severity
I agree. Don't change what's working!

I meant in Kupp's first season where he dropped the ball quite often. Not compared to now.

I've been calling him Higs. My (older) HS friends get a kick out of that because that was the nickname of a girl classmate we knew, taken from her last name too.
It was not as easy as a catch as people make it out to be.
But it should be caught.
I would have caught that shit!
Yeah but you're Henry Ellard so ...
Let's hope that Higbeast makes it back! (Yes, my nickname for him is "Higbeast". No, I am not ashamed to say it.)
I remember Kupp dropping the ball in the Seattle game and fumbling in the Vikings game. It was his rookie year. No shame in not producing as good as you normally would as a rookie. Hell, Higbee struggled mightily as a rookie. Look at him now. Robert Woods wasn't the best rookie. It takes time. Hell, we could even use John Franklin-Myers, who struggled in his second year so badly he was cut. And look at him now: a great year and a great extension by the Jets.
That's why I think that Skowronek has plenty of time to shine. The fact that he's contributing this much in this year in the round we picked him in is fucking amazing.
Every player will tell you if it hits you in the hands you should catch the ball. I get it was a tough one but yeah he should have caught it. Don't think less of the rookie either way.
