    The media was making a big deal about him going against his former team and he was a non-factor didn't even have a tackle. He doesn't seem to be a good fit in a 4/3 defense, I could see the Bengals releasing him after the season.

    For sure, he's second guessing himself right now...

    But had James stayed in Pittsburgh, he may have been one of those surprise veteran cuts anyway.

    Yes, James is not the player he used to be, Steelers made the right call. And yet, they are still 0-2

    BUT...I love James Harrison. He gave the Steelers everything he had for the years he was here and gave the fans some phenomenal performances.

    Or he'd be playing and impeding the the development of Jarvis. DL would be a lot more partial to JH then Worilds.

    If that happens then we;ll continue down this path of mediocrity. Those players are exactly why we're so mediocre this season. There's a reason most other teams in the league don't want these guys

    So did Mean Joe Green, but I don't want him playing for us. It was time to move on. Harrison is done as a top player in the NFL. No reason to settle for average players.

    He still had greatest Super Bowl play of all time, and watching that play in person was equivalent to immaculate reception.

    4 of them aren't even playing. :shrug:
    I think JH would be a difference maker this year on this team. Oh well, though.

    I would take him back for the vet minimum and he's happy being on the bench.

    Didnt 92 turn down a STEELER offer which was more than fair? Than chose FA only to find that nobody wanted him at his price? Than asked to come back to Da Burgh at a lower price? Rooneys said "No thanks" seek employment elsewhere. Pretty sure thats how it went.

    I didn't say I wanted him back, I'm just saying that I appreciate what he did for the Steelers while he was here.

    i'd take him blitzing up the middle, with JJ and Woodley on the edge and Timmons going sideline to sideline and in pass coverage.:cool:

    At what price??? We are already so cap strapped.........We offered him a job at what we could afford to pay him. He turned us down.Than came begging back for a job when nobody agreed to his asking price.

    F....92...Let him rot in Cincy!!!!!

    If Dalton plays well, Cinci can go far.
