    Harrell

    Harrell got two chances during one-on-one pass rush drills and he looked very ordinary. Guard Travis Leffew stuffed him on one of his turns and guard Tony Palmer handled him on the other.


    Not exactly off to a great start. Rookies do tend to struggle a bit...........

      Where did you hear that Packnut? I was there and I saw him get four chances. I had him winning 3 of the 4 including the Leffew guy taht you had him losing to. I did have him losing to Palmer though so that much jives.

      I think I know the Leffew play though, Harrell had the guy stood up and off balance. It could have really gone either way

        He also said he was "painting his dreamhouse" 35 players ago too.

          Evidently it needed a lot of paint.

            That's not the point, and YOU KNOW it. What he says is not always what he does. He gets that from his boss, and to go on record, I don't give a damn who is at the top of the depth chart.

            That being said, it was the "general consensus" when McCarthy was hired that Thompson hired him, in part, because McCarthy was likely to do as Thompson wished because he was a new coach.

            Does he? Who knows, but it seems clear that Thompson knows ONE WAY - his way. Seems plausible that McCarthy will play along, no?

            Especially if McCarthy believes there isn't much difference between the two players, and face it, Williams was an unheralded 6th rounder, and Harrell is not, and Thompson was BOOED loudly for his selection. Don't you think that maybe, just maybe, he's going to prove us all wrong? hmmm?

              Yeah, I do think Harrell's gonna prove us all wrong.

                No matter how many times you click your red slippers together, Shermy is not coming home.

                    Hope that's the case, I truly do. That guy has A LOT of pressure on him for a 16th pick, doesn't he?

                      No, not really. He's in a pretty damn good rotation that can pick up the slack if he struggles at the outset.

                        That is the theory anyhow, but you think Harrell doesn't feel pressure after he saw and heard the boos? C'mon, don't be contrary, even if you disagree with me, you have to agree with the pressure thing.

                        remember too small Jamal?

                          Nice.

                            Harrell's position on the depth chart causes me to raise one eyebrow slightly, nothing more. As others have stated, as a practical matter the July depth chart means little.

                            As for it being a means of putting pressure on Harrell, I don't think that works with this kid. He seems easy-going. Almost too easy-going.

                            Those clips I saw in April showed a player who was extraordinarily disruptive. The offense makes up pretty little plan and Justin messes it all up.

                            I think the kid is high reward/high risk. A disciplined pro offense may take him out of that chaotic game he plays and make him very ordinary. That is the risk.

                            The possibility exists that he will mess up four interior running lanes and the quarterbacks pocket at this level too. The high reward.

                            However that plays out, being number one or number two on the depth chart now will have nothing to do with it, a decidedly unimportant issue.

                              I have high hopes. I'm hoping for a John Henderson. Could be a Donnell Washington. Probably somewhere in between. The two things that killed Donnell don't seem to be a problem with this guy. Work ethic ("want to") and knee bend. Washington struggled with his knee bend. For a guy that's tall, that's not good. Means people can get leverage on you very easily.
