Look, cancer or not - we cut him. The Steelers could have suspended him for the last few games. They could have made him inactive and told him to stay at home. They had optios - and they chose to cut him. And then he cleared waivers where 30 other teams had a shot to sign him and didn’t. I’m pissed he’s a patriot but dang, he fell into their laps.

Actually in this morning's pregame analysis they were talking about just how JH was effective in the run game for NE as well. Look you can dispute it all you want. I am just the messenger from the game film gurus.
When I heard it this morning, it made me cringe.

What!? You do realize that Harrison only plays in passing situations, is that because he is such a great run stuffer? Harrison at this point in his career is not going to set the edge, he is not going to cover backs out the backfield, he is in there on passing downs to bull rush and thats it. Also in the type of front that we run our middle linebackers are supposed to be the run stoppers and they suck, which is precisely why we got gashed.
Nobody is disputing the fact that Harrison can't come in and be a pass rush specialist but to think that he was the answer to our defensive problems is insane.
Look, I'm not saying he would be the answer to all our defensive problems. But if utilized properly, he could have been of great help to us. Just look at how he's been able to help the Patriots.Comment

Jarvis Jones - never progressed and was a bust. Bud Dupree is invisible on the field. Has not improved, actually worse this year. Harrison situation mismanaged.
No no one is saying fire Colbert or the entire staff. That’s just hyperbole being thrown around. But why in the hell is Porter still coaching.
Maybe firing a few guys will send the message that giving up continual 40 and 50 yard plays are not acceptable. Third and long being converted on a regular occurrence won’t be tolerated. Make a statement after your D got humiliated at home after a bye week. This team has drafted D in the first round season after season and it’s the weakness of the team. Should not be happening. The status quo ain’t working.sigpicComment

He cant stop the run? The next time TJ and Dupree COMBINE for a total of 10 tackles will be the first time,
He led ALL outside linebackers in THE LEAGUE in postseason tackles last postseason. Not 2008........2017!!!!Last edited by Captain Lemming; 01-21-2018, 08:03 PM.sigpic
In view of the fact that Mike Tomlin has matched Cowhers record I give him the designation:

What are you talking about? I saw him being quite successful in setting the edge on running plays for the Patriots after playing for them. I will give you that coverage is not his strong suit, but last year he actually didn't grade out that bad in that department for the Steelers.

AFC Divisional -- Jacksonville 45, Pittsburgh 42 (38 points scored by Jax offense, incredibly poor Steelers' D).
AFCC -- New England 24, Jacksonville 20 (New England gets to play for their 6th Super Bowl title, Harrison helps them at critical points).
What more do I need to say?Last edited by Buzz; 01-21-2018, 08:08 PM.Comment

anybody defending the release of 92 and letting him get to the pats is either an idiot, a stillers homer, or has some other agenda
all that needs to be said is that the stillers braintrust kept dan mcullers over him
that is complete garbageLast edited by Eddie Spaghetti; 01-21-2018, 08:09 PM.Comment
