Al Harris - stud to dud in 7 days

[Partial]

See above. Everyone and their mother is being too hard on him. He had two bad games. I expect he'll rebound.

[Kiwon]

I agree, but he's not getting any younger.

I would imagine there are at least 15-20 other teams in the NFL that would kill to have this guy on their roster. I say trade him to one of them or get of his back, hopefully the latter. He spent a majority of 07' taking big name WRs OUT of games. Look at the coaching decisions that did not adjust the scheme for the bigger physical WRs before you hang AH out on an island and place all the blame on him.

I'd keep him...

[Patler]

I'd keep him...

So would I, but I would also be scrambling to find his successor for 2009.

Nobody wants him out but I think he was our second best corner this year and he is on the decline imo

[Tony Oday]

I want to keep him but the secondary coach should be shot for not rolling over double coverage to help out the long haired hippie

The two bad games were in the two most important games of the season. These were the tests of his supposed status as an exellent player - matched up against excellent recievers in big games.

The results are in, Al HArris is just an average cornerback. He's neither a stud or a dud.

It was the DC's fault for not getting him help after continually being attacked, and beaten. They really should have tried putting woodson on Plaxiglass, or even T.O if he had been healthy that game... The fact is that if the reciever is bigger than Harris he will struggle

all cornerbacks deal with the issue of tall receivers, part of the job description. (Harris is taller than most corners.) They have to rely on timing and athletic ability to break-up passes.

I dare say the same about Favre (@ DAL, @ CHI when homefield was in line, vs NYG at home last wkd), but nobody is trading his entire body of work for those 2-3 games.

Read McGinn's article about Favre.

I just watched the game on TV for the first time thanks to OregonPackerFan.

Bob Sanders did not adjust his coverage on Burress until he had 9 catches for 132 yards

Inexcusable. Sanders was junk last Sunday too.

Thanks for saving me the time of actually reading it, I'm convinced it's bullshit already.
