Steelers to Harrison: "NO SOUP FOR YOU!!!"

This is bittersweet news. One part of me would love to see Harrison retire a Steeler...the other side of me shakes my head that Harrison wasn't happy with $4 million at his age with injuries recently, and I can't feel bad for him!

Either way I will never forget Super Bowl 43

how about this guy instead? he would be steeler LB through and through. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/...rt-might-see-harrison-clone-in-buckeyes-simon

 

Under weaknesses, "doesn't flash consistent explosion." I think a year under Keith Butler would cure that...Seems like he'd be a good find in the late 2nd/early 3rd

 

i'm very torn about this development........ towards the last half of last season, Harrison seemed to be getting back on track, and was our best/only pass rush threat on the back end of the season....I know there's plenty of great talent at the position in this yrs. draft, but we all know they won't see the field much in their rookie yr., and i'm not quite sold on what's already on the roster...one only needs to refer to the first 4 wks. when Harrison was out...... granted, he clearly wasn't worth what he would've been due this season, but to rule out his return, even at a reduced priced seems to be kind of foolish...... i'm trying to hold out hope that the coaching staff has seen something out of one of the hopefuls that I missed... it wouldn't be the first time, but until then, i'm quite worried

 

Simon was a stud at Ohio State! He would definitely fit very nicely with our D.

 

I would love this pick. I actually picked him in TSF Fantasy Draft in the second round (Patriots).

 

I'm not a fan of Simon. If it was like the 4th round then I'd say sure pull the trigger... I think his pro day numbers showed more athleticism than I saw on the field. I'm not sure he has the ability to play in space as a LB.

Explosion isn't really something that can be taught.

 

yeah but a stud at ohio st isnt a big deal.lol I couldnt resist

 

was there another undefeated team i'm not aware of?

 

if we did get him, what would you propose that the steelers do during his rookie yr. when we all know he will be on the bench

 

Harrison's clone? James is Black, Simon is white

 

my sentiment as well

 

James needs to fire his agent.

 

Why?

 

I was thinking the same thing because his agent may have been the one responsible for overstating JH's market. But then I thought, his agent probably couldn't care less if he's fied at this point because if James doesn't get paid, he doesn't get paid. At the moment, James ain't getting paid.

 

I think JH's agent cares a whole bunch but is not actually worried. I guarantee that he is not panicking. #92 could very well have a solid 2 seasons left in this league and he is trying to maximize his earnings for those last 2 seasons. His agent is merely looking after his product because it makes himself profitable. One thing I am certain of is that I will see James playing somehwere in the NFL next season. I still hope its with the Steelers but if not then I still wish him the best. Unless he goes to the Pats then I will probably be wondering why he's not getting fined or suspended every 3 games.

 

same thing we would do without him. start worilds and woodley. simon would need at least a year if not more to play that position full time. he needs work but has all the heart you would want in a player. i don't see any draft pick being picked to be the starter this year at OLB. carter is still next guy up.
