According to Miami Dolphins folk, Charles Harris and Adam Gase, the rookie's season is going either great or poorly. It just depend on who who you ask.

In the mind of head coach Adam Gase, he has no complaints about the play of Charles Harris so far.

“Yeah,” Adam Gase said when asked if he was pleased with his first-round pick, via The Miami Herald. “I'm not going to complain about what he's been doing.”

Harris isn't so proud of his work. At least not in terms relative to what he believes to be the most important stat.

“I guess. I don't know. I know that sacks are the most important [stat].”

When asked about he feels in regard to how his work stacks up against other rookies, Harris has no time for such tomfoolery.

“I don't really got time to be checking on anybody else. At the end of the year, you get accolades and awards and all of that stuff. You've got other people that's going to check on that. That ain't my job.”

As for the stat stuff, Gase isn't a big believer in that number.

“I've said this before, I never really pay attention to sacks,” Gase said. “I always look at pass disruption, how many times are you getting to the quarterback? How many times are you putting pressure on a quarterback where he has to move off the spot, has to get rid of the ball sooner than he wants to. As long as he keeps doing that, that's all that really matters to me.

Gase continued: “Just keep getting better as a young player. I've said it before, he's seen a lot of things that he's never seen before, in the run especially. His job is to get better every week and keep finding ways to just create pressure on the quarterback.”

Harris only has one sack on the season, but he has 14 hurries and six quarterback hits, ranking third and second on the team, respectively.
