Source of Devin's fumbling troubles

He didn't have a fumbling problem in college with a heavy workload.  The one from last night was a perfect play by Watt where I think most RBs may have coughed it up.  And the 2nd one was really close to not being a fumble.  I'd have to go back and watch it again, but I remember thinking his knee may have been down before the ball came out anyway.  It never actually mattered because the Bills recovered.  But whatever.....  He's a rookie and will continue to work on things.  Not worried about it at all right now.

I’m sure they’ll coach him up on fighting for extra yards and securing the football. Pats always go for the strip as well, so it will be a focal point. A quick check of NFL combine numbers for RBs does confirm Singletary’s hands are small for an NFL player. Still, I think it’s more about ball position while carrying than his hands alone.

Well, he has the highest fumbling rate in the nfl, and by a significant percentage ...

If it wasnt for the ones last night you wouldnt be saying that. One game doesnt indicate a trend or a significant problem. Its just a game. 1 game. Versus 1 of the best D's in the league who make a concerted effort to knock the ball out.

If people want to be really concerned by this thats their choice, me personally I see it as it was... just 1 game where the ball came out a couple times.

I'm sure Devin & the rest of the staff will put extra emphasis on ball security this week in practice.
