Silverback's going to the SB!

Doesn’t matter what he or anyone else likes. Harrison acts like a petulant little child and your solution is to play him? Absolute brilliance! Just send all the coaches to the locker room and let the players do whatever they want.

 

I think some people weren't watching the same game we were watching

 

Perhaps it wouldn't have got to that point, if he saw the field. Anyhow, Tomlin played the petulant child Bell, so the precedent has already been set.

 

A lot of coaches have back up players on their rosters. Are those coaches jackasses too? Harrison is a back up player at this point of his career. He was brought back as insurance. The Steelers didn't need or want him as a starter. It wouldn't had been a good sign if Harrion was a FT starter. Then people would be claiming something else in regard to the organization. They preferred to play younger, faster, and more athletic players.

I really don't understand why fans want to make a big deal about this. I guess just another reason to trash the coaches and organization.

 

We're making a big deal, as we're seeing Harrison in the backfield making plays, and maybe the Steelers would have been in the AFCCG if he was on the field.

 

If it weren't for Ben, we would have been blown out of the water last week. The turnovers sucked, but the team looked like pure trash. Fournette was banged up and not himself in the second half, and we still couldn't stop them. Not being able to control your players is a direct reflection on the coach.. They were barking all week leading up to the game and couldn't back up any of it.

 

We couldn't of found 15 snaps a game to keep Harrison happy through out the season and avoided this continuing drama.

I mentioned it before but the strip sack by Watt against the Ratbirds was helped by 92 being double if not triple teamed allowing Watt one on one with the tackle who he beat with a strong move great hand fighting and a tenacious pursuit to the QB. Dupree does not show any of these skills it also points out that Watt can play either side.

We could have gotten 92 his snaps by rotating Watt to Dupree's side. Were they so fixated on not taking Watt out for Harrison that they didn't think to flip Watt to the other side until the season was 3/4 gone and Harrison was already pissed.

 

SMH, Are you serious? hahahah LMAO you are funny. Yeah James Harrison would had been the difference vs the Jags. Sometimes I can't believe some of the things people attempt to convince others of around here. SMH again.

 

I don't care what Harrison thought. If he was a problem suspend him from the team, but don't put him out there free to help your competition. That is a rookie front office mistake.

 

Wrong.


James Harrison made the big plays when Belichick needed him to!!

 

Say what u want I saw Harrison pushing the line more than any of our linebackers vs jags

 

I didn't necessarily disagree with Tomlin when Harrison was released, especially when I found out how unprofessional he acted throughout the course of the season. I guess I can understand Harrison's disappointment in not playing, but professionals act as they must and not as they feel. But looking back on the situation, Tomlin probably deferred much of the decision with regard to how to use (or not use) Harrison to his best pal and OLB coach extraordinaire, Joey Porter. Porter is still actually on the coaching staff, by the way.

The consternation over the decision to release Harrison has been amplified by the fact that he is playing well, sacking the quarterback, making plays and NOT ONE FREAKING DEFENSIVE PLAYER FOR THE STEELERS MADE ONE IMPACTFUL PLAY IN THE JAGS GAME. NOT ONE!!!

This isn't why Tomlin sucks though.

 

Geez, reading this tread, I'm wondering how many votes Harrison will get for NFL DPOY.

Ok, he made a play or two today. No more/no less. Good for him, It helped but didn't decide the game.

If Harrison wore out his welcome here, he must have reaalllly worked hard at it. Tomlin is his buddy, so is LB Coach/Moron Joey Porter.

 

His inability to recognize situational awareness and instill it into his staff and players is what keeps him and the team from getting over the hump

 

I’m just tired of Brady and ALL the BS calls and breaks. I mean it’s hard enough to make it to 1 SB let alone 8. Something’s just not right there or he really is Superman.

They can’t be that much better than everyone every year without help. I don’t give a **** what the Patriots fans say. They know it but will never admit it.

Kinda hard to beat a team that has the refs on their side and their really good too.

 

Exactly. And it will never change with him employed as HC.

 

Which was a play or two more than our collective defense made against the Jags last week.

It doesn't help.

 

I'm glad they got rid of Harrison after the way he acted, but his stats are better than Heyward's were in the playoffs?

 

New England was going to win the game even without Harrison, who freaking cares what he does with the Pats. When he got in the game with the Steelers this season he had a whopping 1 sack.

 

He was in the backfield a lot today...Van Noy and Flowers both got sacks, where JH was about to get. He also forced Blake out of the pocket the last incompletion.
