From the article

40 yards on 10 targets just won't cut it. He had a pair of OPI penalties... The drop over the middle of the field in the second half would have been a gain of at least 20... On ten targets, the receiver brought in just four of them for 40 yards. The drops that plagued Metcalf throughout this contest are by far the biggest issue.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalBust

Metcalf's 4 catches on 10 targets, two OPI penalties, and drops disappoint in season opener.

Metcalf had a disappointing Week 1 with 4 catches on 10 targets for 40 yards. He committed two offensive pass interference penalties (one negating a 19-yard catch and run), dropped a pass over the middle that would have gained at least 20 yards, and failed to drag his feet down the sideline on a 4th-and-3 attempt. The source emphasizes drops as the biggest issue and notes this was supposed to be Metcalf's breakout season after disappointing first year in Pittsburgh and added receiver help. Fans booed after a critical drop, signaling frustration.
