No that was a FALSE narrative because people were in DENIAL about how bad N'Keal Harry actually was. If that story had any legs that would also mean that Tom Brady, Cam Newton and then Mac Jones were all in a CONSPIRACY to keep N'Keal Harry down by not throwing to him in all his years in New England.
The fact was N'Keal Harry was just too slow, couldn't create separation, didn't understand the offense, didn't get open, wasn't in the right place at the right time, made dumb plays because he didn't understand the offense, and so on and so forth. He was not a 1st round caliber receiver and was a colossal draft mistake because BB 'liked the interview' causing him to overrule the Patriots scout evaluations.
If you don't want to talk about N'Keal Harry then why are you responding to this thread?TY definitely has speed and I think I see some fight in him I guess the other two are still up for concern.
I asked because I recalled the story his rookie year was that Brady had kind of shut him out he was so bad it's hard to remember much about him lol.
Which is concerning bc that was actually a strength of his coming out. He was decisive and very quick off the line. Not uncommon to see false steps but combined with the lack of impact. Not exactly what you want to see. His releases looked pretty coming though.I think I may have figured out why he's slow off the snap sometimes (and I'm talking about no press coverage). I've noticed this not great habit of his of picking up his back foot after the snap, leading to a delayed start. One play Agholor and Jakobi were already moving horizontally at .48s after the snap, and TT didn't start doing the same until .62s. He and Agholor were doing Go routes, and by 7-10yds, TT would be almost 2 yds behind. I've seen this happen comparing him with Bourne (who's stellar off the snap) and previous games, too .
.25s would be average visual reaction time, so he needs to clean that up if he wants to get good (yeah yeah catch the ball he's a bust blah blah check out the top WRs and all their dropped passes even just this year).
Glad he's playing a lot of snaps. He'll be important in the next few years and needs all the experience he can get, especially missing a chunk of the beginning of the season. I just hope he stays healthy.

I'd be lying if I said I really have been watching Thornton super closely. From what little i have seen and just a quick look now. It seems to be somewhat inconsistent in terms of showing up. You will see it, false steps from time to time from most. Definitely a mental thing though bc he's not pressed on most of them.What could have caused it to change?
Like bad coaching or is it just some mental thing?
Another huge second round draft bust by Belichick. This has got to stop. This especially hurts when there was the German from Central Michigan for the taking as Seabass II.

maybe some of our WR/TE can't figure the routes depending on coverage in the EP OffenseMight be simply the difference between the coverages he saw in college and what he's seeing in the NFL... Some dudes can handle the step-up in competition, others cannot... BoneyT always looked to me like one of those who wouldn't handle the Truth...
He was hurt a for a while so maybe see how he progresses next year before throwing him out.Patriots 2nd round pick Tyquan Thornton
Regular Season 18 174 9.7 21 1 16 5.3
Steelers 2nd round pick George Pickens
Regular Season 47 700 14.9 42 3 24 8.0
