Its pretty obvious that they are in sync and makes sense cause he admitted practicing with him the most.

With that said, he has lots of work to do to get his timing right with rest of the WR group. If Miami would have done a detailed scouting report they could have easily exploited this strength and turned it in to weakness. But they SUCK!!!

Good thing we have 2 weeks of reps for Burrow with rest of the WR's, and I am optimistic based on what I have seen with his football knowledge and relentless study, that he will get in SYNC with rest of the WR squad.

GEAUX TIGERS!!!

He went through his progressions. How would they turn this into a weakness? Give Jamar Chase, Terrace, Giles, Dee, Sullivan and Racey one on one matchups?

You can neutralize the strength but unless they cheated to or doubled Jefferson I don’t know how it could have become a weakness.

He looked for Jefferson every time he got pressured. I am not going to disagree with you on progression but he felt comfortable throwing to Jefferson out of all those receivers.

We all know and it has come to light in past few months about how detailed the scouting reports are when SABAN is involved. You can easily gameplan for a new QB who is still getting used to the system and new WR's. That luckily didn't happen and we have time to improve on our weaknesses.

Because Jefferson and Burrow have so much film and game play together to scout.

Not sure about timing he hit multiple guys in the hands and they dropped it, that one pass to the right side when he was under pressure and threw it to the backside where only the receiver could catch it was a good pass but was well defended

To be fair..according to all of the reports we got during training camp: The reason Jefferson was a starter was because he was so good at running routes / getting open. So, might it be that he got the ball so often was because he is so GOOD at getting open?

I was pretty young then, but Rohan to Reed against Bama was incredible. I don't think it was a PROBLEM to throw to the dude that kept getting separation.

I think the killer combination is going to be Burroe and Chase who will emerge as our best receiver. Jefferson is very good - Chase is great.
