Did this at the request of Omar Kelly tonight. I thought it was a worthwhile venture.
I was very impressed with Brian Hartline during the season and have penciled him in as the Dolphins' top receiver for a while, and this exercise really just confirmed it for me. He was a good player in 2011 but did not get featured enough because of the domineering presence of Brandon Marshall in the offense, as well as the over-reliance on Davone Bess who is more of a crutch for lesser talented quarterbacks, in my opinion.
In an offense like Green Bay's, you could sub him in for a Jordy Nelson or Greg Jennings and he would produce. Not necessarily to the same level as those two, but he would produce nonetheless. It's easy to see why Joe Philbin would like this guy as he displays almost the exact skill set Philbin looked for from his other guys like Jordy Nelson, Donald Driver and Greg Jennings. He does not quite have Jennings' deep speed, nor Nelson's run-after-catch ability, but he shows a lot of the same traits as those guys. The one thing I know Philbin will want him to work on is keeping his feet after the catch so that he can get more yards after the catch.
I have not put his incompletions on video but I will say this...the incompletions are almost as impressive as the completions in that there is generally a fair amount of separation, some bare misses, force-outs, poorly thrown passes, bad quarterback decisions, late throws, etc. Not very many of the incomplete passes were really on Hartline either for dropping the football or failing to create separation.
Here are the completions.
