Obligatory post-game "Walt Harris scares me" thread

[onlydarksets]

:frusty:

He can't tackle - he empty handed Cadillac in the backfield and let him get an extra 5 yards. He can't really cover - Galloway burned him for Simms' longest pass of the game.

Furthermore, why does GW think this guy can play? I know we are depleted, but what the hell is he doing lining Harris up on Galloway in man coverage?

Add Antonio Brown to the "He scares me" list. Great rags to glory story for Antonio, but the guy was cut for a reason. We ought to take him out of punts and leave him solely as a kickoff returner.

Harris' inadequacies are well documented - you can't expect him to flourish in any role besides nickel corner. However, the guy is good on special teams and seems to have a knack for falling on the ball, recovering fumbles or blocking kicks. Sean Taylor's play-making abilities were able to make up for the loss of Springs. However, that bonehead really hurt the team by being thrown out of the game. Inexcusable. Again, just mighty relieved to come away with the WIN!

I would also like to add Frost.

14 god damn yards?

Let's not forget about that great tackle he had, probably saved a score!

These guys had some bad plays, but you know what? They played good enough for us to win today.

Good defense of Frost on the TD saving tackle Mattyk72. I agree. Tough guy for a punter.

Exactly.

Super Bowl winning teams make mistakes too, but in the end all that matters is winning.

To be fair Harris had fallen down when he blew the tackle on Cadillac. It is hard enough for CBs to tackle to begin with. Once they fall down we can't expect them to contribute much.

Hey, Galloway didn't burn us -- and that was without Shawn Springs.

We're so thin in the secondary, I'm not bad-mouthing Walt Harris at all this week.

Didn't Springs say he should be ready for Seattle?

[MTK]

Springs might be back and hopefully ST can keep his spit in his mouth.

[That Guy]

frost is the fastest punter ever :P

I think we should seriously consider lining A brown up at CB, since he's ungodly fast and his hands are that bad....

[Duffman003]

I thought Walt Harris played pretty well, and there was nothing he could do against the long joey galloway pass... it was man to man and he has to respect the deep ball and he went inside.

I was supporting AB last week, but now I can not believe he fumbled yet again, use AB as reciever and use trash and betts for returns, simple as that. Frost made an awesome tackle, and with the exception of the 14 yard kick, he punted pretty well. Of course if we had lost, then everyone would be yelling at Frost.

I dont mind if Brown is our guy for kickoff returns, I actually think hes a very good asset there. However on punts, he scares the crap out of me.

[MTK]

AB scares the hell out of me on punts.

I know he's got the big play potential, but at this time of the year I'd prefer to see a safer bet back there like Thrash.
