Harrell had 3 tackles and a tipped pass on the play he followed through and hit the qb in the head. It was one of those iffy calls that the qb's get these days - an inexperience error that is correctable.
He held his own against the run when he was in there. Better than Williams did.
I saw good push from Harrell today. He has the awareness of a typical rookie learning the NFL game but he showed good effort. Plus he didn't get hurt which is no given.
Harrell looked OK most of the times I was watching him. He held the point well against the run and was able to get some push to collapse the pocket. He's certainly not an All-Pro yet, but he showed why he was a first-round pick today. The kid has some tremendous physical ability. Hopefully he can some things together and stay healthy this offseason.
Was Jenkins called for the PF on Mcown on that return for a TD that was called back. They didnt give too many views of it but it looked like a clean shot to me. He was on defense and got on a block. Or does this go back to the protect the pretty QB BS the league is doing to protect Tom Brady's pretty face or the up and coming cant handle temps under 50deg Jamarcus Russel?

The way it was explained, Jenkins was flagged for hitting the QB because he was away from the play. It wasn't that he hit him, it was where he hit him.

Ding, ding, ding!
Stupid rule. The guy was on the same side of the field as the interception return, so he could've made a play on the returner.
Harrell looked like an NFL player today. He was moving forward more than he was moving backward, he held the point fairly well, and he was able to get some penetration.
He wasn't great, but he did a serviceable job at playing DT, which is probably more than a lot of us thought we'd see this season. He definitely plays the run better than Williams does.
The Jenkins personal foul was a good one. No reason at all to go after a QB like that. I realize it's football and guys get hit, but the refs protect QBs and Jenkins should have known that.
As usual do the turnaround test. If Favre got blasted like that, we'd all be screaming bloody murder.
