Good to see Harrison getting some good recognition from the other great safeties in the league. When Harrison is out there, I always get the feeling like our defense has the advantage over the offense. He is the leader of the defense and I figure...hey he can can keep that secondary looking good when you have some no name like Randall Gay...Troy Brown, Asante Samuel. He really led those guys in 2004 and it was amazing! It hurt to see no Harrison because I just watched how badly the secondary struggled. It was like they fell on their faces and coulnt get back up. But I know that with Bruschi, Vrabel...Colvin leading the linebackers, Seymour the D line and Rodney the secondary. If those leaders stay healthy I feel like they can do anything. Rodney is the #1 reason I look forward to next season, there are many...many things that I cant wait to see, new faces out there getting a shot to prove they can be a starter for us and a star. We are so lucky to have picked up Harrison as hes been IMO, the #1 leader of the defense for two years...obviously couldnt have been last year. And thats no disrespect to Bruschi or McGinnest what so ever. Rodneys incredible to be fighting through such an injury...hell doubters thought he would never play again, and I'm sure there are still doubters that he will ever be near the same...and I'm sure he will prove them wrong like the other thousand times he has!
Oh yeah and I love the way how tough safeties are getting to be in this league. Secondarys as a whole are getting tougher...just look at the Patriots...or even one from the last few years they have been incredibly tough and hard hitting, small guys eager to throw their bodys at recievers and runningbacks, its great. Especially some of the younger guys in our secondary. Ie. Asante Samuel's hits on Jeb Putzier...Stokely two years ago and knocking Ricky William's flat on his @ss, that was classic
