Why isn't he touching the ball? He always seems like a spark plug when he goes in there and is a nice change of pace for Lacy/Starks... A few touches a game will help keep Lacy fresh and another weapon to help take the pressure off Rodgers and his calf.... Not saying he should get the ball 20 times but maybe 5 or 6 times a game?
I'm thinking that game planning for Harris and 4-6 rushing and/or screen pass plays simply is too complicated to realistically fit in.
MM likes to keep it simple.

I think Harris not playing is a roster move more than anything. If you activate Harris (who is no longer returning kicks), who do you make inactive?
One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

My refrigerator delivery guy claimed Harris was in the best shape of his life this past August. Unfortunately, Stubby wanted backs that could be in on all three downs, and both Lacy and the Stark Plug fulfill that role. Harris is the odd man out. If he could have just distinguished himself on kickoffs it might be another matter, but with the substandard blocking, he had little chance.

It's funny that it's been years since cars had spark plugs. (I think.) When did players stop getting compared to starting cranks? Maxie? Beuller?
I wouldn't mind him getting a few carries, but it is not like Starks is overworked, and he is fast.
LOL

probably this explains why your Chevelle won't start and you have to walk everywhere.

They can't even get Starks enough carries.

Right.
But I'm a little pissed off. Haven't new cars had electronic ignitions the past 10 years or so? When is the last time anybody talked about "having points set." Spark plugs are for lawn mowers, gocarts and nicknames.
edit: I guess they are still in there.
lacy and starks have been enough. if they bring harris in it's obvious it's for something designed just for him. that shit never works.
Actually I mean that they have Starks as the backup change of pace RB and he does a decent job.Are you implying Stubby can't walk and chew gum at the same time?

Starks is the NO. 2 RB and if either he or Eddie Lacy went down; then MM would have confidence in DuJuan Harris.
If DuJuan Harris isn't going to play ST's (return KO's/punts) then you dress a more useful player.

Harris is nothing special, don't get the pining for him at all.
All hail the Ruler of the Meadow!
QFT, Lacy averaged 4.6 a carry and people are pining for a 3rd string RB.
But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

Harlan is running McDonalds fry oil in his biodiesel TDI.
Depending on the health of The Calf™, Harris might be inactive again as he was the guy moved to make room for Tolzien last week versus the Stompers.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
The obvious reason is that Green Bay is saving Harris for the (potential) Seahawks game as the secret weapon!
TDI? Too new, too expensive. Probs:
