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.

      Trade Deadline Talk

      By frankw · Posted

      You guys are just going to have to accept the fact that Dan Morgan is a mid GM best case scenario currently. I used to have people get very belligerent over defending Scott Fitterer too. And that's not hyperbole. People used to go to bat for that guy like he was blood related. We have a truckload invested in the OL and what do we have to show for it? The whole unit is already banged up including one of our big signings. Even without all that the group has largely taken a step back from last year in pass protection. Then you get to the QB room and there's only two conclusions you can make about Dan Morgan. Either he deliberately ignored it two years in a row on his own accord or he took orders from Tepper to do so. Either scenario says he's not fit to be an NFL GM.

      Is Canales digging his own grave?

      By strato · Posted

      Frank, ceding control of the defense in no way verifies that Tepper told Canales to bench Young.    It certainly buttresses the idea that Canales would need permission to bench him but that is as far as you can take it.    After that it is pure speculation and it doesn’t make sense.

      Uhh, okay yes that happened. I didn’t like the pick either I am a 3rd or later RB guy. Always. Actually hated the CMC pick too. Hated the Stewart pick.  No one wants to talk about trading the #39 in that draft and what he did with that.  Got #52, #155, and the Rams 2025 2nd to boot.   The 52 and 155 plus our 142 5th rounder to go up for a Brooks Everyone wants to forget about the 2025 2nd for that Rams trade  which was used to move up for Scourton.  That Rams trade down was a great deal for us.
