rotonator Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I thought he would be more involved in the offense in terms of actual touches/targets. Really haven't seen him run a lot of jet sweeps or tosses from the backfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecondString Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 That would be a resounding "yes"! I'm surprised too at the lack of touches, not sure I can figure that out. I think he will do what he has always done, have games like today and about every third or fourth game, really go off with a couple of TD's and great production.

Bolts23 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Yeah I'm getting worried. They seem to just use him on those receiver screens which is super obvious and he either gets -3 yards or picks up a couple. Also when he makes a mistake returning kicks, he gets punished on offense and doesn't get put out there like the Chargers game when he fumbled and today vs Denver when he took that kick off out of the endzone and only got to like the 10, he wasn't out there on offense too much after that. Luckily the overtime period got him some more points but not what I was expecting when I traded for him before week 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilthorp Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 He is a toy for that offense and one that is expensive and fragile. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotonator Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) The thing that baffles me is that Darrell Bevell was also the offensive coordinator of the Vikings from 2006-2010. Notice in the 4th quarter/2nd half that Harvin wasn't really part of the offense and they struggled moving the ball. In overtime, he got involved and they scored a TD easily. Of course this could just be a coincidence with other factors. Edited September 22, 2014 by rotonator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripleshot Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Yes, I'm worried. Trade him to me cheaply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was open all day and you gotta utilize his speed. Please, just let him run some routes down field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
