Playing to Harry's strengths

[WaterfallJumper]

Much better use of our big receiver today so far. He may still see more action in the rest of the game, but here's a quick recap of what he's done so far. Good hands, good moves in space.




And the one that got away:

 

[jah]

It's becoming more clear what his strengths and weaknesses are at this stage in his development. Good hands, great as a ball carrier. Implicit in all of this praise is the absence of mentioning his route running/separation, which to my untrained eye has been his weak spot.

 

[BradyFTW!]

Very impressive short range burst for a big guy, game changing talent if he gets fully integrated

 

[Deus Irae]

Every moment Harry's not on the field, the Patriots should be force feeding Michael Thomas video on him.

 

[Guts]

He is fast for his size I like what I see so far

 

[TinhWoodhead]

I’ll take one td a game

The confusing thing is that none of this should come as a surprise. Makes you wonder if McD and Judge just tried for too long to develop him in the areas that are more closely aligned with how the Pats offense usually proceeds (timing, pitch perfect route running...) instead of going on his strengths.

I can see why they'd do that and how him landing on IR really was a major setback because they lost 8-9 weeks of time to figure that out.

Looked good out there. Showed flashes.

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

This is the guy we should be targeting when taking shots down the field.

Julian Edelman said he's starting to see N'Keal Harry play a little faster.

Meh, what does he know?

 

[Tottie]

Funny how things change in a week. He looked pretty damn good!

 

[Ochmed Jones]

His command of the playbook is still very wobbly.

but we need to get him more involved. he has some routes that he is much better at, we need to have him run those more often.

 

[Patriot Missile]

Liked what I’ve seen from him these last few games. Apparently its been mentioned many times how hard it is to grasp this offense and it’s good to see improvement from the young guy.

 

[Kontradiction]

Getting him the ball on the go route was huge. It showed him that he can catch the ball on a big time route, even if a penalty wiped it out. It paid immediate dividends on the next play and later in the game when he snagged the TD. Keep loosening his leash.

 

[PatsFanInVa]

what you mean you can't evaluate a draftee after 2 or 3 games and a fifth of Jack?

 

[PittPatriot]

On paper we have 2 big targets and a shifty guy with Mo, Harry, and Squirrely.

 

[Kasmir]

He's clearly fast and agile for a guy so big. Athleticism is not his problem, despite the annoying nattering of the house trolls.

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

Screens, slants, handoffs. Get him the ball in space. Been screaming about the YAC/big play abilities of the rooks all year and Josh has them in advanced trigonometry classes.

 

[upstater1]

If the Patriots can draft a burner like Mecole Hardman and a passable TE, the offense will start ripping again with Harry, Sanu, Edelman and Meyers to do the dirty work.

Need some OL too.
