Sanu's inconsistent hands and inability to beat man coverage though are a big concern. He'd better be careful or he may end up the 4th WR sooner rather than later.

I was one of the biggest Sanu fans in the draft. But his development in the NFL has been near non-existent. 

Sanu's skill set coming out of Rutgers was very Housh-esque. Sanu was supposed to be great in a WCO running routes no deeper than 10 yards and use his "reliable pass catching" across the middle. While being labeled as a very slow receiver who will never be able to run past DBs, he was also labeled as being able to get good separation.

It seems that separation and those reliable mitts are fading away, but perhaps they could return if he was used more in the slot. MLJ will need to return to his 2013 ways and Moore will need to fill into that outside WR role well in case of an injury to MLJ or Green.

Back to the original topic though of the 60-yard FG...this seems to be getting a lot of attention across national media...is it really that big of a deal? Seems more like stretching to find something exciting during the lull period before TC.
