Harrison

Definately looks heavier. He was always stocky but im sure not being able to run had to have taken its toll on his conditioning and his weight. The te cook ran right past him on a drag pattern and he could not keep up with him if his life depended on it. I notice these first 2 games hes been back, hes been dropping into coverage alot as well.

 

His job should not be to drop in coverage. Much like he was on that 3rd down play at the end of the game that put seattle in FG range to seal it. He isn't fast, and should not be in the game to do that. He is definitely still our best LB (yes, better than woodley) and should rush almost soley. He still gets held every single play which is maddening tho.

 

92 also took a swipe a Chris Johnsons ankle while he was on his stomach and took him down

Hey Busman I met a guy last night at the game that made me think of you. He was wearing a Troy jersey and he was from Canada! It was his first Steelers game and he was really nice. He couldn't believe all the Steelers fans. I guarantee you that he was probably the only great white northerner there but at least you guys were represented. LOL.

 

he's also playing on an iffy knee. i'm least worried about JH. something was amiss there too, james shouldn't be covering a guy clear across the field.

 

I kept thinking all night that he was playing too much coverage too.

 

Yup I remember my first time bft.. It was amazing to see all of the people and the vastness of the stadium. I have been a few times and actually tailgated on a few ocassions.

We are all nice her in the North.. lol You would be surprised at how many Canadians make the trek for games. I have met some Canadians there myself after games at the bars and such.

I need to get back to the Da Burgh. I love it there and I feel like its my real home

How far are you in terms of miles from Nashville? Like 1,500? One thing I wondered was how a guy from Canada could be friends with a guy from TN. The guy who brought him to the game was wearing a Titans jersey. You have to have a passport to go to a game also don't you?

 

Harrison covering Cook is a mismatch no matter what kind of shape Harrison is in. Lebeau should have known better.

 

The only LB that should be doing that kind of covering is Spence and he's out! That's been the problem with the scheme recently. Why on god's earth would you bring the DB's and leave that wide open? Someone had to have made a mistake. This is straight coaching. Time outs on the board and defense was confused...call it!!! Troy makes that time out call!

 

I agree with everybody here! On what I have seen of Harrison since he's back is that he is a lot slower then last year. He is now a liability in coverage.

So my question here is if we can see this, then why don't the coaches see this and they put him in a position to fail. The way he is now, the defense should not have him in pass coverage but only in pass rushing!

 

Time for the 4-3 defense. It's a pass happy league and we need thin, quick LB that can cover. The way we've had Woodley, Worilds, Harrison bulk up hurts them in coverage

 

that's what i'm saying shanner, that was not supposed to be harrisons man clear across the field. someone blew coverage somewhere. i know DLB didn't draw that coverage up. will allen maybe?

 

That's funny because I thought Canadians only liked hockey for the most part. I've always been under the impression that American football is too "soft".

 

One play. They got the matchup. Defense was called, they did what they could do.

 

Saw on facebook where James killed 3 nice bucks ( deer) today, good job

 

Yup I am along way from TNN.. I am about 10 hours drive from where I am to the Burgh but we usually make a weekend out of it. Besides I have been a fav for approx 36 years so I would do anything to see them ...

I have a friend in the Burgh that I met at the game and he and his friends have season tickets. They sit in teh 500s but I dont sit with them because when I go I want to go top drawer. You know really good seats. I have done the nose bleeds as well but for me being closer to the field rocks.

I remember driving into the parking lot and tailgating with just me and my buddy and how the people around us were shocked we drove down to the game.. HAHA..

Now I drive down and tailgate with people I have met in the Burgh. Its so much fun..

And yes we take our passports. I probably travel more in the US then I do in my own country.

I feel the same about being close to the field myself. Thursday was the closest I had ever been which was row 3 on the 45.It's cool to be that close but one thing that did kinda suck is that the camera had to sometimes get right in front of me. I'm only 5'4 anyway so when the camera was there I had to watch those plays on the titantron. When you are up high you don't have to worry about that. My seats were on the Titans side but if they had been on the Steelers side I wouldn't have had that problem at all though. They did show me on the Titantron though and I looked really sexy with my towel!

 

i don't believe that for a minute. there was to much open field across the middle. someone was out of position on that.

Awsome. I think the closest I have ever been is Row 8. I agree with some that sitting higher up sometimes affords you the opportunity to see the play develop but it sure is cool to be closer to actually see the players and yell at the opposing teams players lol

Obstructed view would indeed be a problem but like you said you got 2 seconds of glory when you were on the tron lol...

Nice, I assume bowhunting? I don't do facebook, so I can't see it.

I also assume not all were taken on the same day.

Oh, I also think there was a blown coverage, either one of the ILBs (Foote?) or a safety (Allen?) No way is JH supposed to cover that TE all the way across the field. How tall is that guy anyway, he towered over James? [I just looked it up - listed at 6'-05" 246#. I also see he ran a 4.49 40 time, no way JH can keep up with him crossing the field.]
