Harper next Please!


WOW!!

Recommended Posts

Why in the fuging world did we sign him for over $2m/year for 5 years? (I thought it was 2 years but just checked and it's supposedly 5 unless that's a mistake) Should've been vet min. for 1 year.

 

Harper's contract was two years, 4.5 million total, not per year.

highly doubt if DG ever considered Harper more than a temporary band-aid.  He's not a mistake, he was the only thing available in our price range.

 

Harper is the kind of smart, veteran safety that could feast off quarterback mistakes behind a high pressure defensive line.  That's why both he and Thomas DeCoud were signed.

 

Unfortunately, we stopped having a high pressure defensive line, and now their lack of athleticism is an issue.

He had a good Dline who got a lot of pressure last year.

And still was the worst safety in the league.

I really don't think we're as bad on the D line as people are thinking. Against good quick release QBs our backfield can't cover that extra second or 2. You can't expect lineman to break through every couple plays and get pressure as fast as a QBs 3 step drop. The pressure isn't there anymore because receivers are open faster this year. I've broken down all the games. That's what I'm seeing. Munnerlyn had good speed and awareness. He lacked height. Mike Mitchell had great closing speed and had great angles to make hard tackles. IMO losing even just those 2 has cost us more than losing Greg Hardy.

    • Tepper, even tho the team.....after 8 season finally seems moving in the right forward plane.    You could also make a choice about changing the HC when you had prime Cam, Olsen, Gross, KK, Luke, TD, Star, pre-gun hardy, Norman, Jstew, Dwill, Turner, White Buffalo, Smitty in order to win 1-3 SBs but RR like Fox was missing the SB gene...broncos knew it and .....ugh.
    • Brother check out some of his senior bowl matchups     He was labeled as not good at stunts and pash rush, I seen it different. I seen some KK in a NT frame. His long arms are key too. Bad for hecht, I believe Hunter personally hunt his stock. He has other senior bowl stuff, honestly he should have quit, he just did whatever he wanted against those OLmen. No one outside a snap or two slowed him down and he was doing moves unseen before because he was the blob for TT. I seen some playmaker traits against those senior bowl OLman...beside the "big 12" pointless. 
    • Yeah well we've already been through that with Sam and Baker. I know which road I'd prefer to go down if the choice is mental vs physical. Also I don't buy that Bryce has some super processor. Only thing he seems to process quickly is when he knows he can't physically make a throw so throws the ball away instead of risking an int
