Harrell not inspiring much confidence

[Partial]

You have more patience then I Partial. Harrell plugs a hole, that's about it. Someone posted that this was his best game but it probably was the game he played the most in. Tenn isn't exactly a powerhouse and they ate up our second team, Harrell included. If the guy is going to be a project then he shouldn't have been taken in the 1st round. He looks like a project to me!

To me he just looks like a guy who is not ready to compete at this level; I think TT thought he would be by now based on his draft comment.

It will take some time; I didn't love the pick in the first place but the guy I wanted isn't doing worth a crap yet either.

And the guy none of us wanted that would have been a decent value pick is lighting in up in Cleveland. I guess its relative since he's against 3rd stringers, but he is doing more than Harrell and at least showing something.

I guess this just goes to show that its often luck of the draw. Hopefully by next year we're feeling that we got lucky. Doesn't look too good right now, though.

did they or did they not slot him in w/ the 1st team when he came into camp? I thought I recalled a story about that and Williams. now where is he? maybe inactive.

Green Bay - Not only will Green Bay Packers first-round pick Justin Harrell be on the field when training camp opens this afternoon, but he also will be No. 1 on the depth chart at right defensive tackle................

.....The Packers feel very strongly that Harrell will be someone who can contribute right away despite the fact he missed all but three of his games during his senior season at Tennessee. Packers fans reacted negatively to the selection of Harrell on draft day, but the club has high hopes for the 6-4, 310-pound tackle.

Harrell was the last Tennessee player to wear Reggie White's now-retired No. 92. He played 35 games for the Volunteers, starting 25, and finished with 82 tackles, four sacks and two interceptions., earning four varsity letters.

The Packers obviously feel he will be something special because, instead of listing returning starter Corey Williams No. 1 on the depth chart at right tackle, they went with Harrell. It's customary to give the veteran - especially one with as much talent as Williams - the honors, but the Packers seem confident in Harrell's future.

To go from that...to practically last on the depth chart is quite a fall. The very definition of disappointment thus far.

Lets hope he figures it out. soon.
