Second play - not a fan of the way he spins out/backwards to try to avoid an upfield rusher. Needs to learn to climb the pocket and let that rusher go past him. Instead he ends up 17 yards behind the LOS by the time he's back to facing downfield and is still running to avoid the sack.

Two ugly passes in a row beginning around the 1:20 mark of that clip. Worst he had all day. Glad to he bounced back after those.

Dupre continues to drop the "fastballs" like the one at 1:40.

Fade to Dupre at 2:26 was a thing of beauty.

Don't know what the play was at the 3:15 mark. Pocic is pulling around left tackle and let the DT release straight upfield. No way Teuhema is getting across in time to pick that block up for a play where Harris is straight back in the pocket. Perhaps Harris was supposed to roll left? Whatever it was, we're lucky that his arm wasn't hit slightly sooner resulting in a fumble instead of an incomplete pass.

For those who say he doesn't throw receivers open, go look at the play starting at 4:05. If he leads Dupre he walks him right into the Safety. If he throws it lower, the trailing CB may be able to get a hand on it. Instead, he puts it high where the trailing CB can't get it and Dupre is able to go up and get it.

Play beginning at 4:52 is one that allows people to complain about our receivers not high-pointing the ball. As Harris begins to throw, there's a DB in position to make a play if he throws it on a line. This is one where Dupre needs to stop short and go up to get the ball. Instead he turns and backpedals which allows the Safety to come over the top and knock it away (lucky it wasn't a pick).

Play beginning at 7:58 - needs to throw that away and not take the sack. He was outside the pocket in time to heave it out of bounds before the defender chased him down from behind.

Play at 8:16 - I'm not sure who that was intended for. I hope it was intended for Dural. If so, it was a good pass. If intended for D. Smith, it was way overthrown and we got lucky that Dural was back there.

Overall, I see the progress he's making and believe the passing game will continue to improve, but there's obviously some things that need work.
