NFL News - Straight From the SourcePicturesOnGold.com, Internet - In his first two starts as a Falcon Joey Harrington has been sacked 13 times, but this time it wasn’t an opposing team roughing him up—it was his coach. Bobby Petrino said Harrington is holding the ball too long, yet still reserves some of the blame for the offensive line. "I think right now Joey is playing a little bit conservative, a little bit not to throw the interception," Petrino said. "Therefore it is causing him to hold the ball. He just needs to open it up more with confidence and play to go win the game." In his first five years in the NFL Harrington was sacked only 18.4 times per season. During those seasons he was playing with Detroit and Miami. With Detroit he avoided sacks with quick passes in its West Coast offense but with Petrino’s playbook he is taking deeper drops. Harrington went 12-for-20 pass/completions and through for 200 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions against Jacksonville as the Falcons in their latest loss. The Falcons are leading the NFL in sacks allowed. The closest competitor is at 7. In Monday's news conference lasting about 7 minutes, Petrino included four pronouncements about Harrington holding the ball too long. Petrino also spread the blame to the line, backs and receivers. "I'm certainly concerned about our passing game, I would say our protection in our passing game," Petrino said, adding, "It's not all on the offensive line. "Anytime you're getting sacks, it's the quarterback's responsibility to get us in the right protections and to get the ball out of his hands, it's the receiver's responsibility to get open on time and the offensive line, running back, tight end's responsibility to protect and do their assignment with their job." Harrington was not on hand to speak on Monday. In the Falcon’s first loss of the season against Minnesota, Harrington was sacked four times in the fourth quarter and was sacked three times in the final 15 minutes in Sunday’s game against Jacksonville. "It's not a sack issue, an O-line issue, a receiver issue," Harrington said Sunday after the game. "It's everybody's issue." |
