Demaryius Thomas will focus and bounce back from drops problem, says Owen Daniels

Denver Broncos tight end Owen Daniels spoke with Eric Goodman of The Afternoon Drive immediately after Sunday's loss and talked about missed opportunities. I found his take on Denver's drops a bit interesting. Note that the question asked (around the 6-minute mark) didn't mention Demaryius Thomas by name, but it was D.T. who got mentioned in Daniels' response.

"Oh man. I think it's just one of those things, you know, where, in my experience with it, the ball's in your lap, if it happens to be a drop you're just trying to do too much with it. You're kind of pressing a little bit, and not focusing on just catching it."

"Those things happen," Daniels continued. "It doesn't matter who you are. A rookie, a great Pro Bowl player, it can happen to anybody. I know D.T.'s going to be back; he's going to bounce back next week. It happens to the best of 'em."

Here's the thing - this is happening to D.T. way too much. Thomas is now tied for the NFL lead in drops.

It's about time Thomas and Broncos coaches shake up Thomas' preparation: make sure he's catching more footballs in practice and focusing on securing the ball before making a play. Because if D.T. is preparing the same way he did for the Patriots game, and the same way he did for the Raiders game - well, Albert Einstein's got an interesting word for you.
