Considering routes, who runs what routes is critical. Harrison is tall, has good reach and despite NFL drops, good hands. The button hook route works when the CB is guarding a fast receiver and fears if he slows to jump the route, the receiver is actually running a stop & go. The separation that would result is an easy completion or a TD. Harrison is not a speedy receiver. The CB will likely try to jump that route every time. On slants, crosses and post passes, you place the ball in front of Harrison letting him use his reach and hands to snatch the ball. Harrison is also good at running fly routes despite his lack of great speed. He wins jump balls by out-leaping the defender. He can also make good back shoulder catches. The former must be thrown with loft and touch. That is not a Brissett strong point. Burrow throws it great. So you can’t really use that route option. It would have to be back shoulder catches

AQ Shipley is unsearious as a broadcaster. Down 23-7 he says "they need to establish the run so the play action works. Then the offense will be humming like it has under the 10 weeks of Brissett"

The offense was 'good" for 3 weeks and then there was tape and it was ass

wow, did you watch those Cardinal teams??? only the Cardinals would be satisfied with having him as the Mike for so many years. I loved Ronny Mac but he had no business being a starting MLB.
Lol. Of course I did. And he played on a lot of really bad teams. He is one of the few Cardinals players who ever actually played well above his physical talent level. If only guys like MHJ or Darius Robinson were similar in that respect .
