James Harrison made life miserable for Jason Campbell and the Raiders on Sunday.


Coming off a subpar performance against the New England Patriots, the Pittsburgh Steelers' defense relied on James Harrison on Sunday to ignite this unit -- and he answered the call.

The Pro Bowl linebacker had his most well-rounded performance of the season in Pittsburgh's 35-3 blowout victory over the Oakland Raiders. Harrison recorded five tackles, two sacks, an interception and a forced fumble as he wreaked havoc in Oakland's backfield.

Raiders quarterback Jason Campbell may still have nightmares about Harrison. Oakland's offensive line couldn't keep Harrison off Campbell, who took several tough shots from the linebacker before being benched in the second half.

The most controversial hit on Campbell was a well-timed blow by Harrison that forced an interception by Steelers cornerback Ike Taylor. It was called back because Harrison was flagged for roughing the passer. Harrison could be facing another fine for what looked like a clean play.

Other than that, it was another good day at the office for Harrison. He leads the Steelers with nine sacks, and Sunday marked his third multi-sack game of the season.

You know what's AWESOME about this article? It came out of ESPN, which has the reputation of causing a shortage of knee-pads in order to fulfill it's relationship with the NFL.

If those trolls are starting to say this thing, I think there is hope for a backlash with legs.

FWIW this came from James Walker who writes the AFC North blog. He is not one of the typical ESPN National type talking heads. I have liked a lot of his work as it seems quite fair and balanced.

Harrison may be in the clear

November 24th, 2010


All signs points to James Harrison not getting fined after getting penalized for roughing the passer in last Sunday’s game.

Bill Parise, Harrison’s agent, said he has yet to hear from the NFL about any further discipline for the hit on quarterback Jason Campbell that drew a flag and negated a pick six by cornerback Ike Taylor.

“I think maybe we’re OK,” Parise said this morning.

When Harrison has been fined in the past, Parise said he has learned about it prior to Wednesday of the following week.

But Parise knows as well as anybody that you can never say never when it comes to Harrison and NFL fines so stay tuned.

Re: So will God-ell now suspend James Harrison?

By Goodell's current standards, imagine who of these players when in their prime would regularly suffer fines, suspensions, even expulsions ...
Jack Lambert
Joe Greene
Dick Butkus
Donnie Shell
Ted Hendricks
Ronnie Lott
Jack Tatum
Mike Singletary
Ray Nitschke
and about half of all the other defensive players now in the HOF.
