Charmin Marvin Harrison Jr Thread

I think the answer is simple, Marv is fitting this thread perfectly because he is playing soft. I saw him block, or at least put his body in the way of the defender, but he does not aggressively hold onto to the ball after contact and more than once seen him run out of bounds before taking a hit. Now, I did see him get nailed over the middle but that was something he did not see coming. I am going to put this down to playing with the big boys now and something he will adapt to. In college he could get by as a finesse player, but here everyone is faster and bigger, and he will just have to mature. He has the talent and the body to take and dish out the physicality. I think he will and just a rookie having his welcome to the NFL moments making him play timid. He is having a good season for a rookie but not generational at the onset

He just doesn’t seem to have that dawg in him. Thats the troubling thing. Needs to work at his dads car wash over the break.

I think something along these lines might benefit him

Last year we had a WR core that wasn’t tall enough to ride roller coaster rides but could spread the field. Argument then was Kyler couldn’t hit a small WR. This year we went for height and gave kyler some big body possession receivers and he still struggles to hit them.

Marvin will be great in the near future. He’s a rookie who has been double teamed since day 1 - it’s not hard to imagine why there is a struggle. My problem isn’t Marv, it’s who is throwing the ball.

It's both. I mean how many NFL analysts have to call out our WR room and say we need to get someone who can get open on 3rd down before we accept that we don't have guys running wide open all over the field that Kyler isn't seeing?

He's played like Poo the last few weeks, the one dumb play we lucked out on against NE ruined that performance for me too.

But at a certain point I don't think Baldy, Kimes, the QB gurus etc are all wrong when they're saying Marv isn't getting open and he isn't catching enough contested catches. And for the record neither is any of the other WR's, Wilson is probably the best at the contested catches of the room.

They run different routes but Wilson has 6 less catches than Marv, and 36 less targets
