I think I now know why Darling will never make this team as a receiver. There were two passes from Boller to Darling where Darling didn't even go after the balls? One ball was thrown into an area where there were three Falcon defenders and if Boller throws it directly to Darling it is probably picked off. To me it looked like Boller saw this and underthrew on purpose to a "soft spot" but Darling didn't adjust his pattern to catch a catchable ball. There was a second ball thrown where he did the same thing. On Moore's catch, you could see Moore's adjustment to Boller throwing the ball to a softer spot in the defense and the catch was made. Darling seems disinterested or clueless.
It is intersting to see McGahee get the ball into open field. He so different than Jamal. There was a run on first down for about six yards that went to the right. Once in the 2nd layer of defense, McGahee didn't lower a shoulder but veered off the defender much more like Dickerson used to run. I have been so used to watching Jamal just lower the boom that it seemed odd. McGahee runs effortlessly.
