Chris Harper released

[Marqui]

I'm sorry, I NEVER understood the fascination with that guy.

 

[zipster9]

I blame the coaches for putting the poor kid in that situation to begin with.

He had 3 choices: catch the ball, fair-catch the ball, let-the-ball-go.

He did neither of the 3 choices.

 

[RobertWeathers]

That is odd.

If you are going to talk to a dog, try to have an intellectual discussion.

"Do you need to go out?"

"Are you hungry?"

 

[HeadHunter]

Well that escalated quickly.

 

[raduray]

He blatantly took his eyes off the ball to glance at the guy who was going to hit him. That's just lack of mental toughness. How could he be trusted again?

 

[RobertWeathers]

BB said on D&H that the ball was catch-able and he had been doing a good job for the team.

Oh well.

 

[raduray]

I blame the coaches for putting the poor kid in that situation to begin with.

He was promoted to the active squad. His performance demonstrated it was not merited.

 

[HeadHunter]

So I'm guessing Dola should be active this week then. I'd have to think anyways. The cut does not surprise me and is deserved, we still need bodies at WR though.

You're kidding, right?

 

[scott99]

I think Harper will be back, he has talent. Pretty harsh but not shocking. Fauria in, Harper back to PS is my guess.

 

[BlueThunder]

I was on the Harper bandwagon...tough break for the kid.....

 

[Triumph]

"Hey Harper, Belichick is looking for you"

Lack of mental toughness? How so? Concentration for sure but mental toughness?

Troy Brown had 4 fumbles during his time as a KR and PR in 1993 and 1994.

Mistakes happen.

 

[raduray]

You're kidding, right?

No. He was given an opportunity. He flinched. It's not like he had a track record of success to offset this one error.

 

[rochrist]

My hunch is that he was told to fair catch if anyone was close...he didn't and was cut. I can't imagine the coaches not instructing him to do so.

Not according to Belichick on WEEI.

 

[Triumph]

If I am Scott Chandler I am staying after practice to work on my hands.

Targeted 11 times and caught 5.

 

[aluminum seats]

He was history's greatest monster.

 

[raduray]

Lack of mental toughness? How so? Concentration maybe.....

Troy Brown had 4 fumbles during his time as a KR and PR in 1993 and 1994.

Mental toughness is keeping your eye on the ball when you know you're going to be hit.

What else did Troy do for us? What else did Harper do for us? If you had a month's salary on the line, would you want Harper fielding a punt?

 

[Deus Irae]

No. He was given an opportunity. He flinched. It's not like he had a track record of success to offset this one error.

You're either kidding, doing a lame ass troll job, or ignorant of what's involved in returning punts.

IMO he had two that should have been caught. The other 4 were not good throws.
