    Whatever dude... Seems like you just want to argue any point i make. Not sure why you've decided to follow me around like a lost puppy. Anyhoo... I want to see a true RB to be on the RB depth chart not an overrated overdrafted return guy / #5 receiver, non-blocker. The guy even actually ducked a rusher that came up the middle and ran 3 yards away and pretended to block air like he was at a walk-through and darned near got Landry killed. I suppose a good thing for archer because he would have been broken in two if he actually did try and block any normal sized defender. Unless they start running a junior high style wing T or go jet sweep or 5 wide every down, I don't see much of a role for the guy. Nope I don't like Archer the player and think he was a wasted draft pick. And outside of returns and the occasional trickery, don't see him ever contributing much to this team. Yep I've written him off and moved on to look at players who will actually make a contribution to this team.

    God, for a minute I forgot what kind of person you are. Does it escape you that you're been participating in the same argument I have? Or are you just trying to push buttons? This was really unpleasant, so well done.

    I think he COULD be a good return guy BUT the problem seems that he just goes down on first contact a lot and generally you have to shed at least one defender on a return and ESPECIALLY with our special teams. I'm with you in not liking the pick. I just don't like "project" players in general though. I would LOVE for us to have a true return specialist, as I'm sure you would, because I get nervous with AB handling those responsibilities just on punts. Have you noticed him going down on first contact a lot? Heck, the other night he was going down on NO contact. LOL!

    Mac, surprised that you don't have the big three question marks on defense? JJ, Cortes Allen, Shamarko. These guys could make or break our defense and are the biggest concerns going into this year. The others will be interesting to watch but these guys we need to succeed and will play a big part in our upcoming season.

    shark can play, jj can play and if tez doesn't we have plenty of guys that can.

    we definately need a backup tackle. we need some depth at safety.(darby looked good so that's less of a concern right now)(wild looked ok too)

    james has to work out because spaeth can't seem to stay healthy.

    corner depth seems fine right now. :cool:

    Actually I like both guys. Archer is a change of pace guy. Really fast. And Harris is showing the ability to be a solid running back In the NFL as an undrafted guy. Perfect 3rd running back. Not payed much and play special teams. And Harris has pretty good speed. I bet his 40 time was similar to Bells. Obviously he is not in Bells class of RB.

    So much of his kind of game is getting timing right, and recognising the development of the play. I'm really encouraged by what I've seen of him so far - still some way to go, but a clear improvement.
