Eleven consecutive days of double practice session has fatigued his arm. At times Saturday, he struggled by either holding on to the ball too long or allowing time for a defender to get a bead on the direction of his pass. It's not going to happen overnight. It takes time getting some players in there around you to give you some help. It's a process.
Couch admits that the process can get frustrating.
He's still learning how to do little things better. Coach Chris Palmer doesn't want Couch or his offense to endure another 56-sack season. Palmer explains that Couch, who turned pro as an underclassman, is one year behind a second-year Manning, who stayed in school through his senior season. Despite that, Palmer said Couch will have a great season, but that won't come until his young receivers mature. What is clear is that Couch is a young leader who has some fun.
