Al Harris

[Brando19]

Bulger threw for two first-half touchdowns and extended his league-best interception-free streak to 214 attempts - thanks in large part to Packers cornerback Al Harris.

With the Rams leading 17-13 and driving late in the third quarter, Bulger threw Harris' way at the Green Bay 14, an errant pass that hit Harris in the numbers. But instead of running 95 yards down a clear path for a go-ahead touchdown, Harris dropped the ball.

This was on foxsports website. Is Harris slowly going downhill? Does anyone think we should trade him because he's not been the same Al Harris all season long. Thoughts?

Then we'd have to trade Hawk and Woodson too. They both missed interceptions as well.

Harris does seem to be struggling. He's getting called for a couple of penalties a game. However, there won't be any meaningful trades. Harris probably won't ever get the contract he is looking for, but he'll be here for a while.

I understand they both missed INT...but TT already spent a billion dollars on Woodson and he is a decent punt returner..and AJ Hawk is a great Rookie just starting out. However, Harris has been here a while and he's already expressed his unhappiness with the team b/c of contract issues and because of some comments MM made. He's not playing the way he used to...or to his full potential.

If you and I know that he's strugging, and appears to be going downhill, which GM (besides Millen) doesn't know that too?

Heck, TT would trade his mother if he thought he could get anything for her. NO ONE would trade for Harris right now.

[MJZiggy]

ROFLMAO. TT would trade his mother...priceless.

Harris and Woodson played well in this game. Holt and Bruce combined for 5 receptions. Harris dropped an easy interception that he normally wouldn't. What are you going to do.

Harris has never put up big INT numbers. He's always been a strong cover corner, usually shutting down receivers and keeping balls from being thrown their way.

I agree he's slipped this year, but he's still starting caliber, at least for us.

Nice game by the corners today. Shutting the St. Louis 1 and 2 receivers down is an accomplishment.

Manuel is confirming that he's too slow to cover and play a deep safety position, although he does play well around the line of scrimmage.

Dendy doesn't appear to be the answer, although Carroll wasn't either. Dendy was beaten on a few occasions, and got lucky on a couple overthrows...

Looking at the defensive stat's of todays game two things stood out:

a) Al Harris didn't have a tackle nor an * assisted tackle today.

Al Harris was "the invisable Packer".

b) Overall OUR defensive team had * 28 assisted tackles today compared to " the Rams " defence" with 8 in the same category.

Woody,

It's usually a damn good thing when a corner doesn't have a tackle. Means he wasn't giving up many completions.

He had a good day overall. So did Woodson. Actually, I can't say Harris had a good day--because of the dropped interception. That was just too easy (and a gift). Otherwise, he had a solid game.

[MJZiggy]

I don't know if I'd call Harris the invisible Packer. They just didn't throw his way very often because his receiver was wearing him like a warm winter coat. Torry Holt and Isaac Bruce combined for 5 catches and 63 yards.

And what about the pass interference call when Harris just "physicaled" his guy within the first 5 yards of LOS and got called for it

Was this just a call because the Packers suck? I can't see Vasher or Sheppard getting this call...

Thanks Harvey.

I didn't see the game but of course tracked it via NFL.COM's Game Center.

That was pretty sluggish as the game neared an end for some reason.

Another disappointing loss.

[MJZiggy]

Well, if we're gonna get into officiating, why didn't they call the pass interference when Lee got pushed in the back on the left side of the field, and why didn't they call holding on Fisher's run on the other side? The proper call would have brought that one back.
