DuJuan Harris?

[LegandofthePack15]

I think Cobb's small frame makes it easier for him to shoot through whatever small gap the current OL (a pretty average one) opens up. But Cobb's too valuable as a receiver and returner. Would love to see the Packers give Harris a shot.

Genius. I doubt Green or Grant could've gotten into the endzone on the play that saw Harris scored his first NFL td.

Keep feeding this guy the rock!

That hole was so big I could have scored that TD. Perfectly blocked and DuJuan's burst made it look awesome.

Wrong. I've rewatched the play a few times and the hole was smaller than a doughnut hole. Grant or Green would've ran into an offensive lineman or get stopped after a couple of yards. Harris, all 5'7" of him, was able to camouflage himself behind the line, shot through the tiny hole and scored like I've done with him multiple times on Madden.

Maybe you should really watch the play before you comment. 5 feet minimum.

Sure, there was nothing but daylight beyond the line of scrimmage as the Lions probably misread the play. But behind it where the play started, and between Sitton and the pulling guard, there wasn't a black hole to absorb space-time.

If I were a computer greek, I would post a screenshot of the hole. Just go to the NFL.com clip and pause it at 26 seconds. Definitely NOT a 5 ft hole.

Methinks someone just can't let go of the fact that some short shutdown corner shut down Goliath, err, Darren Charles in a high school football game.

There never was a Darren Charles football player in Wisconsin. Maybe you mean the body builder?

I didn't know this guy was Tank and a Favre-lover. Sorry for being nice to him.

How did you 'leap to that conclusion' and that, just reading this thread.

That's amazing or is it some small miracle?

We have some SPECIAL posters here at Packerrats.

Looking at that video and at the 35 - 55 second mark. The run he made last night Vs the LIONS looked alot like that.

GO PACKERS !

That's my kind of woman right there!

Be careful mission !

I think I saw 'that person' on Jerry Springer recently. It's amazing what they can do with surgery and hormonal therapy these days.

Question to Vic Ketchum: Brian from Oshkosh, WI

" Vic, can you tell us more about DuJuan Harris? He's obviously one of those jars on the shelf you talk about and the Packers must see some upside in him. Watching him run, I couldn't help but think of Ray Rice."

Vic's response:

" That’s a good comparison. Harris was a jar on the shelf in Jacksonville last year. General Manager Gene Smith astutely identified Harris as a player of talent and upside. Interim Head Coach Mel Tucker even referred to Harris as the most improved player on the roster.

Eventually, Harris came free and the Packers put him on their shelf. Identifying talent is very important, but committing to it and developing it is what rewards the scouting process."

GO PACKERS !

You wonder why an organization lets a player like that get away? If their statements were truthful, and not a feel-good TC interview, why is he no longer with the organization? I guess that franchise is in so much trouble they can't see the forest for the trees. He passed through the Steelers organization on his way here.

I really dig Ketchum's analysis. He's got a lot of good insight and doesn't take any shit. Kind of like Mad, minus the good insight

perhaps it's a numbers thing - when you have too many guys at one spot; especially if they are all the same size and type, you can't keep them all; in Pittsburgh, he doesn't seem to fit their MO at all.

He was only in Pitt for a cup of coffee, so they decided pretty quickly he wasn't what they wanted. That makes more sense than the Jags, who carried him on their 53 last year then let him go. He just not have developed the way they'd hoped, or they're a dysfunctional organization.

Too many bodies at one spot? You mean, like 5 TE's? One to IR, maybe a more balanced roster? We promptly picked up a 7th WR. I think it's more a matter of not having enough vision to the future.

I agree about the dysfunctional organization; not everyone operates like the Packers. If the Jags thought they had too many RBs, maybe he was expendable. Perhaps he's also not terribly great and/or performed just so so for the Jags; maybe like some of the camp WRs the Packers had to let go. Finally, it is very hard for most teams to ignore draft position bias; if you were picked late, there must be something wrong with you. Thank God we have such a solid organization in GB.
