This is along the lines of what I've been thinking lately. Even Dunbar... in that pass he dropped just past the line of scrimmage in the UT game that hit him right in the numbers... did you see how hard Jeff threw that ball? His receiver was 10 yards away and it was a missile. It bounced off Dunbar's chest hard; he probably had a bruised sternum. Sure, he should have caught it anyway, but still, would a QB with a better touch have completed that pass?
Even the dropped TD pass by Westbrook this week. It was fast and flat, and we all know our TEs can't catch. Given that no one was near Westbrook, how about letting it arc up a little so it can drop down to him, and he has time to see it coming? Sure, he should have caught it anyway, but still... I have also noticed that, mostly, Jeff's receivers have to stop to catch his balls (when they do catch them). In three of Harris' four completed passes, the receiver caught the ball in stride without having to stop or slow down. We definitely haven't seen enough to really evaluate the kid, but what I have seen makes me hopeful. I don't believe for a moment that a single player cannot affect his whole team (see Tebow), and while we don't know whether Harris can be that type of player over a whole game, I would like to find out. Hopefully, he'll keep his pants on this week and we'll get to see what he can do with some real playing time.
