The boys on Unsportsmanlike Conduct have talked about that several
times this year.  It seems that they have concluded the most limiting
factor in the number of touches Purify can get each game is his
inability to remember and execute multiple routes.  If you notice,
he's got that square-out to the sideline, the fade to the endzone, and
a couple of across the middle routes.  Now, I have absolutely no way
of verifying that, but at least I've noticed that he's gotten in the
game more in recent weeks, but all the throws to him seem to be about
the same.  And we all know that throwing the same route over and over
is going to let even the dimmest corner get a jump on one of them.  I
wonder if anyone (other than the coaches) chart throws to see where
Purify is getting the ball.  He's a big and talented receiver (and
that one-handed catch on Saturday is proof), but I suspect its not
because they don't want to throw to him.
