IF the Packers win it all should they give a ring to Al Harris ?

Did he play one snap this season? Well that's your answer.

I think I should get one. I have had a cheese head here in my office all season, and I work in Fort Worth.

How about the PS WR we just signed, Antonio Robinson. Signed 2 weeks before the SB and has a chance to get a fat ring without ever sniffing the field.

...Oh yea, i'm sure Al is a great guy...but no ring.

Out of simple curiosity, Patler, did the negotiations with your wife over the wedding guest list go this smoothly and last this long? After all, cousin Edgar was technically a third cousin and his family refused to pay the roster bonus after he turned eighteen.

Negotiations with my wife? With any wife? Are you married? I long ago learned how to do that. It's very simple. I just say, "Yes dear. Whatever you want dear." It goes very quickly.

My father's advice to me for marital bliss was "I have no opinion".

How about KGB? I believe he still lives in the area, unlike Harris who showed up for the seasons and was otherwise gone.

Who on this team did KGB have a hand in developing over the past three years ?

Boy is TT gonna be pissed when he doesn't get a ring.

I have heard a lot of positive things about KGB over the years, what he did for the team and the community. How he helped young players acclimate to the team and the area, etc. One of the older guys they could come to with a problem or question. I've heard similar things about Tauscher.

We seem to think Harris must have helped teach Tramon Williams, but to be honest, I have never read anything about him taking an active role to do that. He doesn't live in the area, hasn't always returned for the off-season programs, and has been described at times as a bit of a loner when it comes to training because he has his own methods and follows them religiously. There is nothing wrong with that.

I loved him as a player. Great player, strong commitment to his profession. Great example for younger players about what hard work can do; but I have never seen him described as a mentor type, taking young guys under his wing. Maybe I missed it.

I don't care if they give him a ring if they win. Totally up to the team. But I don't think there is any obligation for them to give him one, and if they should decide not to, I will understand why.

The entire practice squad is going to get one, even the ones who have not played a snap. He was under contract with the team this year and practiced with the team this year. He should get one.

He may turn it down, which is his right, but it should be offered.

[Tarlam!]

I was asking myself this very question, pop by PR and see Mr Peabody (geez, I love that!) started the thread.

I give Al a ring, because he had a huge hand in developing Williams. Together with Woodson, they were coaches on the field for the whole secondary and if he was at team meeting, you just know he was giving the CBs tips etc.

I think it would be a great decision to have to make, because that woulkd mean the Packers actually have 150 rings paid for by the NFL!

Did he?

Did he?

Yeah, but don't ask me to dig up the interview from Packers.com. Don't forget, Harris was "only" the nickel back in Philly; he knew perfectly well what it was like to have starter ability and not start. I vividly remember watching a video where Williams praised both Al and Chuck for taking him under their respective wing.

I remember Williams talking about learning by watching Harris study and play, not so much from Harris actually taking him under his wing or mentoring him; but I could be wrong.

I'm changed my tune a little. At first I thought, "how can you give a Dolphin a Packer SB ring?" But as the debate went on I can see how he was with us for most of the season and was a leader. I wouldn't be shocked if he got one.

Going to the Dolphins makes it tough. If he went to the Bears and played against us in the playoffs, would he still get one? It just gets hard to give rings to other teams players. He's going to have to make it on his team if he wants one.

[RashanGary]

Long time Packers who you wished would get SB rings don't deserve the ring that these guys earned. Their legacy is what it is, giving them a ring someone else earned doesn't change anything and frankly I'm sure the player won't even feel like he won the SB so what's the point?
