I was wondering how hard it is for NEW receivers in our system take to get acclimated to the different style passing game we have. Pete has stated in the past that we design plays for Russell to run around in the backfield. The receivers have said they practice this with extra on top of there route. IMHO this would be hard to learn for a rookie and anyone else new in our system. Rookie receivers usually take a season or two to get there feet under them in this league but does our system make it even tougher? Is that why we may not have the results from previous draft classes shining yet? Maybe it will take extra time to adapt to this unique style of passing. Maybe we will see some of previous guys starting to shine. This could also explain why guys like P Harvin did not adapt well (besides the whole diva factor). If this is a big factor how might this affect Jimmy Graham adapting? Your thoughts are appreciated.
