Mr. Terrence L. Trezvant's definitions

drop the ball

1. Make an error; miss an opportunity; fail.

2. To make a mistake, especially by doing something in a stupid or careless way.

3. To fail to keep working to reach a goal.

This expression comes from the game of FOOTBALL, where it's not a good thing to drop the ball when the ball is in play. It's mainly used based on failure and mistakes. So, if you want to tell someone how important it is to succeed in a particular activity, then this is a good expression to use.
MAN #2: You can trust me.

MAN #1: I don't know. Everytime I depend on you, you drop the ball.

He-could-go...all...the...way!

This is mainly expressed exactly like it's spelled when a football player with the football breaks open during a rush or after making a reception or interception aka pick or fumble recovery for a touchdown, especially after a long run.
EXAMPLE: This is mainly heard during the football recaps on ESPN by Chris Berman. After the football player with the ball get by the main stream of tacklers and get closer and closer to the endzone, that's when Chris is feeling it and say "He-could-go...all...the...way! And he does." But if he runs out of bounds or gets tackled, Chris will respond with "but he doesn't."
