Chris Harris and Aggressive Defense

Anyone else noticed since he came back our defense has been hitting harder than before??? I saw 2 good hits Harris put on the ballcarrier, one resulting in an incompletion on what would have been a 1st down and another on the runner where he lowered his shoulder and sent him flying sideways. I like that kind of aggression as it helped set a tone on defense. Thought he deserved recognition. Will we continue to see this kind of aggression throughout the year?

And how did Landon Johnson do in place of Thomas Davis? I saw one good play where he pushed the lineman into the runner and made a tackle for a loss.

Johnson was decidedly "meh" but not as bad as I figured he would be. Still no match for Thomas Davis.

Harris's return has been HUGE for the entire team though, having him on the field is a big boost despite the rumblings amongst some fans that he may be a bit overrated in Pantherland. I'm pretty sure they were proven wrong.

If a change at QB doesn't happen and happen soon, I can see the Defense start to say to hell with it.

Doubt it. Maybe some people (like Peppers), but others such as Davis, Beason, and Harris, I don't see them quitting based on their demeanor and personality. Collectively, they'll play their ass off. Individually, we might see a few lose their way. In that case, get rid of them at the end of the year.

How about that Jonathan Beason stop on Terrell Owens on third down? He ran across the field and put a serious tackle on him.

My second favorite play of the game. (First was Smitty's long catch in the fourth quarter to give us a chance to get back in the game...:()

well, it ain't all Harris though. Improved DT has done a lot for the team...better play has resulted from the entire DL and LBs imo as a result. It would be awesome of Hollis could make it the entire season.

Chris Harris has always been considered one of the best hitters on the team and has some big playmaking ability....he just sucks in coverage.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      An odd little vibe I've noticed here of late: some folks are "all or nothing" to an absolutely extreme level when it comes to Bryce. There are, in fact, things Bryce does well. Likewise, there are areas in which he's improved over his time here. He has, on several occasions now, legitimately helped us win games. On the flipside, there have been failures in other areas as well as coaching that we're not in any way his fault.  And finally , it is also genuinely possible that the team may see him as the future, even if we don't. The craziest part, though? It's actually possible that they're right and we're wrong. All of this is true, and more, yet if you accept any of these premises people go from zero to apesh-t in under three seconds 😳 Anything less than total disavowal of Bryce and / or agreement that he's the worst QB of all time and suddenly you're a "stan". Oy 🙄 The reality though?  Bryce is indeed an NFL quarterback. Not a great one, probably backup level good, and I've seen way worse. Now, if you run that statement through your personal Google translator and it comes back with some version of "I want to throw 50 million a year at Bryce for the next 10 years", that's not really my issue it's yours  I don't wanna make him the franchise quarterback, but it's not my call. Win or lose, the team is going to do what they think is best. And as always, if it disagrees with what I think we should do, I'm gonna hope I'm the one who's wrong. Internet clout means nothing. Watching my favorite team win at my favorite sport meas fun 😁

      I like Icky but he was the wrong tackle to take. Learning run blocking is much easier than learning pass blocking. Cross was pass pro ready. He was the tackle we should have taken without hesitation.
