Cardinals' Marvin Harrison Jr.'s issues continue with fumbling INT vs. Seahawks

Cardinals' Marvin Harrison Jr.'s issues continue with fumbling INT vs. Seahawks originally appeared on The Sporting News

Arizona Cardinals receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. was the talk of the town prior to the Week 4 clash against the Seattle Seahawks, but not in a great way.

Dealing with confidence issues and drops, Arizona's top weapon has been grounded so far this year, but on Thursday Night Football, a chance presented itself for Marvin to get some confidence back.

On the Cardinals' first play of the game, Kyler Murray hit him for an eight-yard completion, but that was as good as it got early for the receiver.

He gave up on a crossing route that saw Murray be intercepted in the first quarter, and then in the second quarter, Murray hit Harrison Jr. with a sublime pass, but the receiver bobbled it, and the Seattle defense was on hand to take it away for another interception.

On the Amazon broadcast, Kirk Herbstreit stated that it looks like his "mind is paralyzed," and Marvin appears to be thinking a lot when on the field, and as we know, for players to play free and fast, their minds have to be clear.

And through two quarters on Thursday, Marvin's was anything but.

Will Marvin Harrison Jr. get his confidence back?

The worst thing about confidence is that it is so hard to gain, and way too easy to lose, and right now, Marvin's might be at an all-time low.

Just 10 receptions for 142 yards and a touchdown prior to Week 4, Harrison Jr. hasn't been the weapon Arizona had hoped he would be. The drops have been a big issue this season, and we have seen it against the Seahawks, as he just couldn't bring it in.

But stopping on his route, which led to Murray's first interception, isn't good. 

Granted, he is still a young player, so there is plenty of time to steady the ship, but right now, it's tough sledding for the first-round pick.

And it's ugly viewing.
