He is the home-run threat that I believe we were missing last year.

They may need to work on his grip and give him the tiki barber hold. I heard he fumbled twice on non contract drills which sounds to me like hes squeezing the ball too hard.

or he's not looking the ball in...toss plays are very different from hand offs and pitches bcuz the ball comes in a lot faster so you have to take a half second more to secure the ball outright

I really hope this dude catches up and does some great things for our team. We need his speed.

what I think most people forget is how great a catcher out of the backfield he is...

Slaton already talked about his grip being readjusted to immulate tiki barbers grip after his fumbling was corrected. His fumbling in non contract drills probably had more to do with him being nervous than anything. If Slaton was going to be our every down back and would be running between the tackles a lot I may be concerned but for a third down back that will probably be operating in space ....no concerns yet.

Sounds to me like Harris is trying to give the guy some encouragement. Not sure how to take the article:confused:
