  Let the receivers and TE’s Throw bullets from 10′ away off his dome until he understands the importance of timing and touch. Then see if Shelley and Tuttle can make the touch passes.

    Nah. Have common sense and put your teammates in positions to be successful.

      Oh the speed is at the end 52 mph. Favre was rumored to throw it at 63 mph. Peyton Manning was around 59 mph.
      
      Catch the ball.

        Oh I’m sorry, when did we have pro bowl receivers playing on our team? Must have missed that.

        Huntley isn’t pro bowl or even an Nfl QB either. Catch the ball if it is in your hands you should catch the ball.

        I generally agree with you but the placement and speed of some of the throws has been an issue as well.

        Does Covey have a lot of drops? Even when he knows he will be blown up he almost always catches it. Jake Jackson has had a drop every time he has had a target in his career.

  It really is a mixed bag. Huntley is somewhat inaccurate, but close enough in most cases for the receivers to make an attempt at the ball. Huntley also is not seeing the field, either in the run game (a necessity to run the option effectively) or in the passing game. Unless, and until he get better at the little things this will be an average team.
  
  Now on the other side the receivers need to run better routes and catch the damn ball. Huntley can help a bit with better timing, speed and placement, but ultimately the receivers need to be more focused on doing the mechanics of catching the ball. As a group they seem to have no sense of urgency and desire to improve (outside Covey). Part of this is coaching, and part need to be internal to the players themselves.

    Covey hands caught the ball. Not only that his amazing fielding of those weird punts.
    
    Ball>hands>catch. Catch the ball. When he passes to Covey he catches the ball. So it isn’t just about touch.
