Harrison dumped by Bengals
-
I HATE JAMES HARRISON...
for the late hit he put on pat white as he was going out of bounds that basically ended his days as a QB. not that he was great as a pro but it was a viscious hit on a defenseless player...totally unnecessary
That was Ike Taylor, not Harrison. Harrison destroyed Cribbs and McCoy though...the reason for all the hate breeding. One of the last "real" football players.

oh..my memory failed me....stand corrected...it was still a cheat dirty unnecessary shot as a defensless player was running out of bounds..in a meaningless part of a game that scorewise was settled.

That was a good clean hit, shoulder to shoulder that became head to head. Your memory is really bad.

I think the steelers are done with James. He talked shit on his way out of there, basically saying he couldn't wait to fuck dudes up when he came to town with the Bengals. They're moving on. He was never a real captain or leader anyway, he kept to himself and only gave a fuck about himself. So why bring him back? To mentor the noobs? He could care less....couldn't mentor them even if he wanted to, which he doesn't. I respect the dude, he's his own man...goes through life how he feels like. But there's certain things he's not capable of and that means now that his skills have diminished...his usefulness in the league is diminished even more. This is why guys like DQ carry value past their playing prime.

It's funny how many good athletes come out of Akron only to go somewhere they become hated.
akron or kent state?
charlie frye and josh cribbs are the only other 2 guys to come out of those schools that i can name.
dri archer from kent state might get drafted but his size is worrisome.

But I think what TopDawg meant was that Harrison was born in Akron, not the school.

Jack Lambert HOF Kent State

Jason Taylor.... possible future HOF Akron

That hit didn't look that cheap to me. But on the flip side, I don't get why hunker down and lower your body into a QB clearing going out of bounds then? Hands pushing on him to make sure he goes out sooner...ok.
Especally in today's NFL, where the QB is highly protected, like it or not. The majority of the players try to play by the new rules...with a few bad eggs (Harrison) who ignore the rules and then whine about it when they are fined.

I think most of it is spot on. Do some of the players want him back, probably. But you guys are near capped from what I understand, for them to even think about bringing back a guy who as low production as he just had....would have to be for barely above league min. He's too proud for that. That being said, he is saying that he wants to play till the wheels fall off so maybe he would come back for that much...I dunno. But his skill have diminished. I was at the Bengals games last year and he's still a monster, but he doesn't move right anymore. When you see him run off the field he looks fucked up. I can't explain it, but you can just tell there's a lot of miles on those legs. Dude probably has to tank a lot of pain meds just to get out on the practice field.

Jack Lambert, and you're a Steeler fan?
I didn't read over the whole thread. I assumed he was already mentioned. I graduated from kent state myself.

It is true that James Harrison was never a Team Captain or Leader; his personality is more introverted, and he is not the dominant OLB he once was.
Other than that, you have a phenomenal imagination - because nothing you said has even the slightest bit of accuracy.
- On his way "out"; he commented that "All good things must end", he never "talked shit" on his way out.
- The only thing he ever gave a fuck about was himself -- and you know this how? Have you ever met the guy?
- Why bring him back? Because he knows the complicated 3-4 system and the Steelers are very thin at OLB after Jones and Worilds.
The fact is, the comment is being blown out of proportion as it is because it was said off the cuff and it's more likely than not that James Harrison can call it a career.

History will prove him to be the poster child of steroids inthe NFL.
What a piece of shit.

Lets use Zombo Logic: James Harrison is not only better than any Cleveland Browns LB ever, he is better than any Cleveland Browns Defensive Player ever. So he had to have used steroids.
:
The Facts:
Harrison was an UFA in 2002, with concerns due to his height. He struggled early at understanding scheme but never struggled with his athletic abilities - which is why despite his being cut from the 2 year run on practice squad/NFL Europe, he still got a chance in 2004 after the injury to Clark Haggans and earned a spot on the regular roster.
Where you calling Harrison out for being on Steroids in his first game vs. the Browns? You know, that game in 2004 when Joey Porter and William Green were ejected before the game. It was not only the same one where Harrison recorded his first career sack, but after the Browns nearly scored on the opening kickoff and had the ball on the Steeler 11, Harrison blew up the Browns next two plays: stuffing Suggs for -3 yards and pressuring Jeff Garcia into his barely crossing the line of scrimmage - for all intents and purposes a sack that forced the Browns to kick a FG and waste a golden opportunity to score a TD in yet another loss to the Steelers that you predicted the Browns would win.
Never mind that until 2007, Harrison was #2 on the depth chart to Joey Porter (3x Pro Bowl and 2002 1st team All Pro). In the meantime, he was making contributions as a Steelers reserve, including scoring the TD that sealed the game and the 15-1 record vs. Buffalo (who was playing a win and you are in playoffs game vs. the Steelers reserves), and intercepting Phillip Rivers then just jumping over Tomlinson's attempt to tackle in 2005; while beating the crap out of a Browns fan who was as dumb as you when he ran out on the field during that 41-0 debacle you predicted the Browns would win.
Once he got his chance in 2007, he made the Pro Bowl and was Steelers MVP. In one game vs. the Ravens - 9 tackles, 3.5 sacks, 3 forced fumbles, 1 fumble recovery and 1 INT. Damn, that's better than any season from a Browns OLB since their "alleged" return to the NFL in 1999.
5 Consecutive Pro Bowls, 2 1st Team All Pros, Defensive MVP and a 100 yard INT return which is the greatest Defensive play in the history of the Super Bowl and 0 positive tests for Steroids.
Zombo Logic (also known as stupidity) - Shawn Merriman and Brian Cushing both played LB and both tested postive for steroids. Yet James Harrison will prove to be the poster child of steroids of the NFL based on.....what?
Because he was cut 4 times? Damn, that's still one shy of the # of NFL franchises that have left Cleveland or folded (Bulldogs, Indians, Indians, Rams, Browns).
After all these years, you seriously still do not have a life that this is your high point.

This coming from the fan base who rates the Turkey Jones slamming and injuring of Terry Bradshaw as one of the franchise highlight plays of the last 50 years.
And who celebrated causing a high ankle sprain on Ben Roethlisberger as if they won the Super Bowl?
At least admit to being a hypocrite.

Good one! We have defensive players in the Hall of Fame, someplace Harrison will never sniff. In fact, we have a linebacker not in the Hall, Clay Matthews, who a better, more consistent player for a longer period of time.
Harrison had a five year span as a roided out "star". He started just 105 game sin his career and the last two were worthless as the roid abuse started eating away at his body.

Yes! I'm so glad you brought this up. I was at that game. Great seats. And I remember saying "Holy Fuck, look at James Harrison ... remember him? He was so mall at Akron. He must a be a star pupil in the Steelers roid program!"
