If Erickson let any of those balls hit the ground, they would have not bounced as normal in to the end zone, they would have gone SQUISH and likely died at the one. Then, hello bad play call and safety.
Erickson also had a nice grab in the elements for 21 yards where he (again) found the soft spot in the zone and was wide open for Dalton.
I will take Erickson every day and twice on Sunday. The kid will make an impact this season and provides quality depth at slot WR. Something we didn't have a ton of...
Good points. I am not bashing him as a WR. I agree, he made a great catch down the middle today! But I cannot say that he had a good game returning today. Our field position was awful all day and I think a lot of the blame goes on Erickson today
