re: I'm Hearing So Much About Harris' Immaturity & Poor Work Ethic

Sometimes you've got a young guy who has a ton of potential and you want to promote him but he just doesn't put in the extra effort. But when you finally do promote him he realizes he's the guy and steps up to the responsibility of the position

Here is what kills me about this, maybe Harris is motivated differently than Jennings and the coaching staff needs to understand his mental makeup. People are wired differently and do not always work the same and expecting them to is setting them up for failure.

We hear all offseason about Harris working with receivers and going to various camps, and now this rumor that he does not work? Makes no sense to me.

This is yet another square peg/round hole situation that Miles is famous for. He constantly tries to make his players fit a mold that not all of them fit in and flat our refuses to showcase their strengths. Now, the flipside of this is to be too predictable with personnel packages, but you cannot expect everyone to work in exactly the same way. Some kids are just different and if you don't want to work with them, then don't fricking recruit them.
