Deebo Conspiracy Theory

All I can say out of any of this is I will not be shocked when Harrison puts up 14 sacks this year while Worilds and Woodley struggle through injuries/fatness, etc.

Mr. P. You do realize that the Bumgals play a 4-3 defense not a 3-4 don't you? As a OLB in thier defense Harrison will be rushing the QB far less than he ever did in Pittsbught because his primary responsibilities will be playing the run and dropping into coverage. Highly, highly unlikely he gets the number of sacks you predict. As a matter of fact, save this post because I predict that Worilds will have more sacks than Harrison in 2013.

That is why his signing with the Bumgals makes no sense except to stick it to the Steelers by playing for a Division foe.

I agree 100 percent. This move makes no sense for the bengals. Anytime in the pro bowl Harrison just looks out of sorts and ineffective in the 4-3 Def. And I know no oone plays def in probowl but. He is not able to use his leverage nearly as much as he always did coming off the edge. Not a good fit. Now the fact that he is willing to go play a 4-3 tells me how much little interest there is for him.

Maybe someone can fill me in because I had to miss something. Bengals play a 4-3. Where they projecting Harrison? He is playing like a SAM backer at this point in his career...But If he is going to play 4-3 LB I don't think he gets double digit sacks. I don't know how they would see him as a 4-3 DE. Perhaps the Bengals are just using Harrison to get Dansby's number down. 4 years younger & much better suited to be a 4-3 OLB but I heard his number is alot higher. Be interesting to see how this plays out and where he does play.

Thanks O. I don't think we both would have missed something. I didn't think the Bengals were switching to a 3-4.

I have a feeling our guys will get called for holding him.

This is kind've like the unstoppable force against the immovable object! A line that always gets flagged for holding against a linebacker that never gets the holding calls. The official's heads will explode !!

Sorry to rrepeat your post. Didn't see it and the Bumgals aren't switching. Harrison will be a square peg getting put into a a round hole. Thirty other teams got it right. Because he signs with the Bumgals doesn't mean those other thirty teams are wrong regardless of what the man love emotion leads many to believe.

BTW, your Plan B draft is a good one.

No need to appologize....I thought you were just reiterating what some posters were saying & I was one. It didn't make sense because of the 4-3 but if the Bengals are the only team willing to give Harrison a contract...I guess he will take it. Harrison will give them "info" that may or may not be helpful in game plans. He may have a great game left in him that he will save for the Steelers. He didn't scare any team the Steelers played last year & I don't feel threatened as a fan going up against him.

He was a favorite of mine and I don't blame him for wanting to play again but the Steelers got it right if he didn't want to take a pay cut. Steelers stay true to their "Business First" and some fans will let their hearts speak. In a perfect "Steeler" world Harrison retires a Steeler. In reality, Harrison will put on different colors to stay on the "grid" for another year or two and do nothing to better or hurt his career. I'm looking forward to the day when both put their pride aside and he comes back & retires as a Steeler where he belongs. He deserves to have the Steeler Nation send him off.

I really thought NO would have been a better fit for him as it was my understanding that they are moving to a 3/4 and could have used a vet like him to help them get established. Of course, that also would have meant that he was kept far away from the AFCN and could spend his time terrorizing the likes of Matt Ryan. Either way, I don't see any conspiracy here. Just a proud guy who thinks he has more to give than apparently everyone else does. I've seen it in the ring a lot. Of course, Evander Holyfield and Bernard Hopkins whipped on a lot of guys who thought he was too old to compete for a long time.

Cincy's Carlos Dunlap said that Harrison "hates the Steelers now, and that's somebody we need on our side of the football." I wonder if this is true.
