Another usless rant about the lack of Harrison

ATENEARS

I was against giving Harrison more carries when Jamal Lewis was still doing some good work for us last season and we were still considering ourselves for a long hual into post season. But now the rest of the season is just preparing for next season, so sit jamal and Willie McGinest the hell down and let's see what younger players can do.

I'm all for featuring Harrison. I'm on-board ... what can it hurt?

Srrreeeeaaccchhhhhhhhh!!!!! Hold on a second, Gulp, I guess it can hurt if he missed a blocking assignment and boy wonder gets blasted. We still need the question answered, "Is he still struggling picking up blocking assignments and blocking fundamentals?" It seems like we are a few years removed from that myth about Harrison ... anyone know or have evidence that this is no longer a valid concern?

I sure wish Romeo would wake the hell up and play the guy!

Roy.E.Munson

Somone show me a time or example where he missed a block! im sick of argument!... And BTW how will he get better at that on the bench!

First off, I DON'T think Harrison should be "the only back playing"...Just put him in more. Also, I think any decent offensive coordinator could add in a little blocking help in the backfield to help with any blocking deficiencies Harrison may have so we can have our cake AND eat it too (a little more).

We are not disagreeing here.... remember jerome Bettis and Willy Parker...

Willy got the ball up and down the field and Bettis was the red zone back! I think that ended up working pretty goood for them that year!

I feel that Harrison should get the ball 15 - 20 times a game and J Lewis should get the ball about 10 - 15 times a game! face it Jamal aint juking anyone out of their shoes lately... he pretty much runs north south down hill wich will be great in the goal line situaiton...

But this team need Harrison to deliver that spark up the field!

Harrison looked good once again in the first half thursday night. Then the powers that be seem to decide he had played enough because I don't recall seeing him again in that game. It makes no sense at all to me. I'm not calling for him to be the featured back, but he really needs to be touching the ball a few more times than he is. Thursday was down right stupid I thought. He did nothing wrong in the first half and yet, that was it for the day. It's yet another one of those issues this team has.

Roy.E.Munson

Harrison has so much talent that I will drink myself into oblivian if he doesn't get at least 10 carries!

This kid was cursed to come play under this coching staff....

check this out.... 2 min in he is running all over USC

Earle

harrison is not big enough for the 1 back set. that is why he isnt used more.

Earle

well we do have some of the dumbest coaches, i will give you that.

OconRecon

Yeah, I just YouTube searched him too. The guy is good. And at least he's NOT from Oregon.

That is the most assinine and ignorant statement i have heard!

I guess that Westbrook is too small ...

and so is .....

reggie bush

Warrek Dunn

Frank Gore

Thomas Jones

Maurice Jones-Drew

Marshawn Lynch

Maurice Morris

Willie Parker

Steve Slaton

Chester Taylor

All of these guys are within 10 lbs of Harrison and are all every down backs.... Some are smaller!

Do your home work before you start to sound like Romeo....

OconRecon

I asked Sarah Palin about this and she agrees!

To quote her: "But also sometimes you need to do things that are there and then here to get where you want to go and putting him in but also taking him out when its needed to really get in there and mix things up is something that sometimes needs to be done".

So there you have it. Let's not replace Jamal, but mix Harrison in the mix sometimes to mix it up.

Nope... I would use them like Bettis and Parker a few years ago.... I wouldn't bring him in "sometimes"

They should have pretty much the same number of carries!

OconRecon

Fine by me. Just get him in there more.

Earle

Actually... i was working...

But i guess your pass blocking statement can hold up if you can show me a time he missed a block!

I have not seen his so called "poor pass blocking skillz" all year!

So... point out a time where he missed his blocking assignment and your post holds water!

if not then STFU about that and find a new reason to leave jamal in for 2 yards and a cloud of smoke!

Mr. T

Harrison has to be in the game to have an opportunity to pass block.

No doubt......and who really cars how he blocks?? Lewis doesn't block.

The guy has spent 2 years on the bench...20% of his career is over and we still haven't given him a shot.

If I was a young player, I would never want to play on a team with Romeo as coach. He ruins careers before they ever start.

HowieDawg

Couldn't agree more. My God, how infuriating is this coaching staff? We have obviously talent, performing talent, talent that worries opposition, talent that rusts on the sideline and yet we don't have the balls to play them in a meaningful way. I don't know, is it no balls or no brains??? Either way, more harrison carrries in this part of the season is a must.
