PatsWickedPissah · Nov 3, 2019

My 1st hope is that Harry stays healthy. Seriously.

He's already been practicing for two weeks now, so I'm not seeing the conflict you are seeing. If Harry being around is somehow impeding Sanu's acclimation, it's been happening all along.

I never said that it was impeding Sanu’s chemistry in the offense. I said that I found it interesting that they didn’t go with a more proven lineup like Edelman, Dorsett, Meyers, and Sanu tonight considering the fact that they could’ve waited and played Harry in two weeks. That would have allowed them to have a more experienced lineup tonight while only dealing with one new receiver. It also would’ve allowed Harry another couple of weeks to prepare.

As mentioned in my post, Belichick obviously didn’t feel that using 2 new receivers was a concern, so we’ll trust in his (much more proven) opinion. I simply found it to be an interesting story angle. I think it’s somewhat rare that you see 2 new receivers, particularly right before a two week break.

I'm still struggling to grasp how activating Harry gets in the way of doing any of those things.

Feeling oddly optimistic about this guy, right out of the gate. It’s probably the fan in me more than logic, but what are you gonna do.

I loved the pick and even predicted him to be our desired choice over the other popular options. I was not surprised in the least that he was the selection. I think he’s going to do well in our system, and hopefully that starts this season.

well, all he has to do is get 20 catches 287 yards and a touchdown the rest of the way to replace Gordons production. should be pretty reasonable for a rookie.

Meyers is already almost at what Gordon gave us.

Jonathan Jones and Gilmore said hes been making plays in practice. I'm cautiously optimistic

He’s going to play lights out.

Doing any of what things? Having more experienced WRs on the field tonight? Breaking one guy in and then breaking the other guy in over a longer period of time with the bye approaching? Not having to rely on 2 new receivers in a tough SNF game on the road?

Also, your responses suggest that I’m complaining about it when I’m not. I said that I found it to be interesting, seeing as how they’re choosing to deal with two new receivers tonight.

All he has to do is out perform MClaurin lol.
Wow what a talent that guy is Ohio State has been a great breeding ground for WRs.
We could of had him and our WR problems would be gone.
Man I didnt see him being that good honestly.
Great job by the Redskins scouts.

49ers seemed to rely on their receiver they acquired the same time we got Sanu on thursday night and he had over 100+ yards.

Here's to hoping this isn't the beginning of Aaron Dobson 2.0.

RobertWeathers · Nov 3, 2019

The trepidation, foreboding and negativity surrounding Harry's debut and future on this team is absurd.

Well, our version of that produced 23 yards last week, so I’m guessing that’s due to a difference in offensive systems, QB trust and timing, and possibly talent. I don’t think you can name too many times where the Pats have had a brand new receiver come in during the middle of the week and produce 100+ yards. I don’t think it’s the greatest comparison.

And Sanders had 25 yards his 1st game with the 49ers...so it's not so different in comparing 1st games.

Brady needs to get over this mistrust of rookies. If the kid can play throw him the ball.

Everyone was saying "see meyers was just a preseason performer" when brady refused to look his way earlier in the season. Then when brady was forced to throw to hin with no Dorsett or Gordon look what happened. Meyers caught 85% of his passes and looks like the same player as he was in preseason

Working these guys into the offense only makes the team better

He scored a TD in both games. They seemed to do a better job of getting him some set plays in his debut. I don’t think you can compare the way SF does business with the way that NE does, but that’s obviously just my opinion.

Yes.

I was reading about Harry. One thing I noticed is that many websites have him as 6'2" (Combine as well). Yet, many other websites says he is 6'4".

Yeah, only 2" difference, but size does matter....
