    Has Harvin arrived?

    I like Harvin better than most but admit inconsistency has been his problem.

    He has been better about that this season, though one of his fourth-quarter punts wasn't great.

    If we're complaining about a 41 yard punt, Harvin's doing something right.
    Also, kudos to the coverage team. Usually when boots are that far, long returns can be expected. Didn't happen Sunday night.

    It was a 41-yard punt with poor hang time, but it's better than some of the stinkers he has punted in the past.

    I'd rather not see the punter, wish we just would score more points.

    Harvin been getting lots of reps this season, earning his pay check for sure.

    I’ve been pimping Harvin since the beginning and I think he has a lot of upside

    Consistency would be nice

    I did waiver my enthusing game one

    Amazing how many people on this board who do not understand football have wanted him gone

    What really helps the coverage team is the hang time on his punts. He isn't kicking line drives, he has a lot of height on his punts.

    I read an article where he is specifically instructed to punt in such a way the punts are not returned

    Last year he was 5th in the NFL in the category you don’t cut a punter who is doing what you ask him to and doing it well contrary to the knucklehead comments from the pea brains

    Now consistency has room for improvement and that may be coming

    Best week as a Steeler, I have been on his back
    For sometime. He had an excellent game. Now string them
    Together.

    He sucks. He can't tackle. Haven't seen him make one tackle since he's been with the team.

    **** (Sometimes, the censoring of profanity here just makes me sad.)

    As one who's vocabulary is mostly made up of profanity, you just have to get creative.

    I can use profanity creatively when given the opportunity. Does that count?

    If he can eliminate that one bad shank a game we may have our guy for years to come.

    Pressley Harvin definitley has gotten much, much better since the beginning of the season after the loss to San Fran. However.... no one was remotely good that day.... sans T.J. Watt. Back to back weeks of stellar play though has PH3 back in the fold.

    I didn't have a problem with Harvin, he's a little inconsistent, but I wasn't ready for them to get rid of him like some fans wanted to.

    Halle-fracking-lujah, mother fracker. (I still love how Battlestar Galactica made complete idiots of television censors by substituting fracking for ****ing so blatantly.)

    Some channels seem to be getting away with more now. I watched Walking Dead on AMC and it took until the final season for them to let an actor drop an f-bomb. But only one per episode. The newest spinoff let's them get away with 2.
