    That doesn't say much for the Steelers OLBs.

    ... And it`s always nice to have depth...
    experience...
    leadership...
    And the ability to rotate players, and keep them fresh...
    Harrison is worth his price tag,
    And I agree, I can`t think of a better strength and conditioning coach, in the future!!!
    The man is a monster in the gym, and knows the importance of what you eat, in making the most of your workouts!!!
    Can`t think of a better leader, for incoming players, on showing them what it takes, than #92!!!!:aikido::brownssuck::bungalssuck::ratbirds::goodellsucks:

    Harrison isnt old, clay matthews jr played linebacker in the NFL for 19 years and is still the oldest player to record a sack when he was 40 years and 282 days old, so give JH another year he has earned it....

    Yes sir it dosen't say much, although I think Dupree has the potential , but he has hit the rookie wall.

    He won't take any participation trophies this year. Agree with if he wins SB, this would be his last year. If not, he'll be back.

    He has two rings, he is happy with that, he just wants to play as long as he can and be productive doing it, he has 5 sacks and a pick playing part time, I think if some of these younger linebackers would step up then he would be expendable and Butler could consider him for a coaching position..........

    Saw this on another website, I found it very riveting, thought provoking, and towel waving.


    In 2008, James Harrison became the only player in NFL History to win the Defensive Player of the Year award as an undrafted free agent. The following year he had 79 combined tackles, 10 sacks, 2 passes defended and had similar stats the next season in 2010 as well. While many ungrateful fans described his play this year as being washed up, Harrison ended up with 40 combined tackles, 5 sacks, 4 passes defended and 1 interception. In other words, if you doubled his stats to compensate for him having to share the position with Jarvis Jones, Harrison’s performance was on par with how he played five or six years ago.
