What an underrated beast. Remember him in 2002? He was an animal. Of course, he tried to decapitate Drew Brees, too, but he is a very good player.
2004 sir, nonetheless he played a great game and is taking the reigns in the absence of harris. good for him.
Too bad the guy can't cover my grandmother. He's really missing Harris next to him in coverage. Not to be a downer of course, but our inside linebackers have been the root of our underneath pass coverage woes.
I'm with you. He's always been underrated. He brings a lot to our defense in terms of leadership, passion and that intimidation factor. The man plays 100% all out every single play, and you can see that it makes a difference in big games.
Harris is not good in coverage either. Our LBs have been weak in coverage since the first week of preseason.
Barton had a solid game but the reason he had so many tackles was because the Pats threw it his way all the time because he's slow in coverage. Will Harris be ready for next Sunday vs. Tennessee? We could use his speed in the middle.
Are we watching the same game here? Most of his tackles were wrangling down guys he couldn't cover. Every toss in his direction was a guarantee completion, and an opportunity to run after the catch. I love what the guy does in run defense and the intensity he plays with, but he was getting butchered out there today.
