Justin Harrell in best shape ever as a Packer

[bobblehead]

And that shape is... round.

I heard he has the body of a god......budha!!

[Carolina_Packer]

I'm beginning to lose confidence in Justin Harrell. Year 1 can be a fluke. Year two is the start of a pattern. Year 3 and he is what he is.

Beginning? Hell, it's about time.

I guess it "might" turn out ok, but where are the odds? Can you say "Tony Mandarich"?

I assume you compare them as busts, not you think JH takes roids. If he is, they are clearly not working.

[MadtownPacker]

At this point Harrell should be encouraged to take roids. Where is bill romanoski when you need him?

Re: Justin Harrell in best shape ever as a Packer

Per PFW :

"Harrell progressing nicely and appears to be in the best shape since he joined the Packers as a 1st round pick in 2007."

When Harrell's played he's been a force at stopping the run. Don't discount Jeremy Thompson either with Jenkins out. His pass rush looked awesome in the last preseason game.

I'd love to see Jeremy Thompson become the future DE. While I like Cullen and think he's a good player, I do not think he's the impact player many hoped he would be.

So you haven't watched any games this year, you're saying?

Jenkins is a KEY cog in out line and we will REALLY miss him this season.

That being said injuries happen thats why we pay backups!

Yeah, I wasn't thinking about 'roids. Maybe I should have been, but I wasn't.

In all fairness, it's probably too soon to officially label him a bust, but there isn't very much information out there that suggests this relationship is going to end well.

Maybe he'll get pissed off at all the bust talk and play harder, but at this point it doesn't look good.

I don't understand this. I thought this was Harrell's second season. If he comes back and contributes this season, what is the problem. I think people are going to be pleasantly suprised by this guy second half of the season.

I sure hope so. We've been waiting long enough.

I sure hope so. We've been waiting long enough.

My sentiments exactly.

yep.. hard to feed me that the guy is anything but worthless to this team at this point...

I don't think anybody is saying that. If he was worthless, they'd cut him.

[Fritz]

I've heard that Harrell's been working out with Donnell Washington and Cletidus Hunt.

What's the old saw? You can't teach size, you can't teach speed. JH is one huge fast dude. I just hope he gets healthy. I want to see the guy play at 100%. Now, it's possible he just isn't a football player - may not have the knack, but man does he have the physical tools. Waiting...waiting.....

That is similar to the bill parcells planet theory. It goes: there are a very limited numer of guys after a certain size that are good athletes too. If you get a chance to draft one of them you gotta do it. 6'6" 300+ guys who are strong athletic and fast are extremely rare. Unfortunately ones that stay healthy are even more rare.
