When Woodley (who is definitely a left side ONLY guy) replaced Haggins a year later versatile Harrison stayed on the right.
BC (who I like BTW) did not start Harrison because he underestimated his ability.
My point is not to bash BC but to show that ALL coaches sometimes underestimate players.
Dont like THAT linebacker example?
How bout Mike Vrabel who languished on our bench until he because a key figure on those Pats championship teams?
