chris harris

well, in an effort to break up the monotony of the peppers speculation, I thought I would ask a question. Is it me, or did chris harris seem to lose steam after the first few games? I know he is a great hard hitter and a good safety for us, but I was wondering if anyone knew the drop after the first few games.

He put it on Brandon Jacobs pretty hard in NY Giants game

Our whole D dropped off at the midpoint of the season

he was consistent throughout the season.. when the team started getting exposed, he still looked solid.. i think he had to compensate for Godfrey a bit though too..

This is what happens when you make great plays in the first few games, people start thinking you aren't doing your job when you are still playing pretty well.

He was probably second best in the secondary behind Gamble this past year, which is saying a lot.

Not many teams threw down the middle deep, they threw down the sidelines, primarily Lucas and Godfrey's side.

dont misunderstand, as I said earlier I know he was a great safety for us this season, but last season and the first 3 or so games this past year he was a beast power hitter and caused a lot of fumbles. I was just wondering why seemingly that level of intensity dropped off.

one theory I thought of was that he might have had to make up for problems in the rest of the D. spreading himself thinner so he couldnt focus in one direction like before... but thats just a useless theory.

I think that Harris is the second coming of Minter. He and Beason are the leaders that JP never was. Being as hard of a hitter as he is, it is bound to take a toll. Was he not nursing and injury during the middle of the season?

No doubt the development of Godfrey hurt our team. That was to be expected though. When Godfrey had a good game our D was 50% better then when he had a bad one.

Offenses also became a lot more aware of Harris, the continued decline of the front four took it's toll.

Is it a coincidence the names Chuck Norris and Chris Harris contain not only the same number of letters, but share the first two letters “Ch” and the last four letters “rris?”

I think not. Although Norris might be marginally better in coverage.

Ding, ding, ding!

I think after this season well have a much better idea on Chris Harris...though I thought he had a good season, not great. I think he's capable of having a great season though in 09...

Yes! He laid the wood on that big ol thing called a running back.

[rippadonn]

Teams started game planning away from his (Harris) and Chris Gambles side. He made the most of run plays after that jacking up running backs. Good things continue to come to us from the Chi. Give thanks.
