Al Harris

[SlimPickens]

They gotta get Al on the field this week. Roy Williams is absolutely terrified of Al. It's almost comical.

"He's 8 feet, 12 inches," Williams said. "His arms are 36 feet long and he's so strong with those long arms. His arms drag on the floor and when he puts those arms on you, you're not going anywhere. It's really like a boxing match. You have to fight, using your hands. He's so skinny, yet so strong and that's what makes him so good."

"I vote for him for the Pro Bowl year in and year out," he said. "He's not the corner who is going to get you interceptions. By no means is he going to do that. He will shut down that No. 1 receiver, whoever he is matched up with. They may leave the game with two catches for 29 yards. That's just the type of player he is.

"He's my measuring stick for how good I can be against him because like I said, I think he's the best corner in this league."

Found something:

NFL.com's Steve Wyche reports that Packers CB Al Harris (knee) and SS Atari Bigby (ankle) are slated to come off the PUP list this week.
Coach Mike McCarthy has made it clear that the team doesn't have to activate the two players until the Monday after the Cowboys game. While true, that doesn't mean they have to wait, and according to Wyche, they won't. Harris will be used as a nickel back, while Bigby might have a tough time overtaking Charlie Peprah for a starting job.

Will be a career accomplishment that deserves a standing ovation just to see #31 step onto the field. We all saw how scary the injury was, and how hard he worked to wear that jersey again for us this season.

True - he's definitely my hero right now. But the first time he lets a receiver get by him for a touchdown, I'll be calling for MM to cut Harris's soggy, over-the-hill ass.

He was playing well last year pre injury. Williams praise this week may be a tad over the top, claiming he is the best shut down corner in the league... but every WR he has played against has spoke volumes about Harriss's ability, even the last few seasons. Guy is a true shutdown corner. If he is still in his top form, it will be hard for us to not run nickle all the time just to keep him, woodson, and williams ont he field. You can man up williams and harris on their top 2 wr's and just let woodson roam out there and be the turnover machine we all know he can be.

As I said, if Harris is back to what he was, this secondary is scary as hell.

Those RW quotes are from a few years back

Al Harris, at even 80% or more of his former self, should make this secondary "scary". I can't even imagine it if he can resemble his previous play.
