James Harrison will play a big role on Sunday - New England Patriots Forums

I think the steelers will use him just like the Ravens used Barnes and the Eagles used Gocong. Harrison has 5.5 sacks in the last 5 games. I think he'll be a big factor and the pats have to game plan to keep him away from brady.

That would be a GREAT idea, because - as everyone knows - what you want to do to beat the Patriots is the same thing that worked a couple games in a row. Belichick is TERRIBLE at addressing such matters and making adjustments.

He had 3.5 of those sacks against Baltimore and McNair, who's now on IR. 2 sacks in the other 4 games. Dont get me wrong, he's a good player. But NE has faced many a great pass rusher this year. Freeney, Jason Taylor, Merriman, DeMarcus Ware, Terrell Suggs. Harrison is good, but theyll handle it.

Heh! True, true. You think they've had enough practice at this point? I've never seen a BB team that couldn't adjust, just keep that blueprint coming.
