I'm sure we can all agree that getting a few high % throws at the beginning of the game to get Harris in a rhythm early. When you run 17 run plays out of 20 and they finally call a pass it almost sends a message like "Pass?!" What is this "pass" that they speak of...?...they must be panicking".

You know as opposed to "yea, our QB has a stellar arm, it's a PASS beaches! Y'all are toast!"

There is a distinction to be made between the conservative play calling and how complicated the whole playbook, checks and calls are. I remember hearing both Gary Daniekson and John Gruden talk about how we were running a true pro offense last year, with WR route trees and hot route adjustment calls just like you would see on Sundays. While the offensive staff may have watered things down for Jennings and Harris, I'm sure they still have a lot to keep straight out there.

You know what they say. Thinking too much on the football field makes you slow down and play passively. It takes time to get comfortable handling all that to the point where it is automatic. It is certainly possible that complexity of the overall system is bogging both of them down.
