It's easy, and only takes a few moments.He may have been Samuel's man, but Harrison was in position to stop the pass/catch and didn't. He needs to swallow his pride and admit he sucked along with Samuel and I believe that was Hobbs on the Burress TD, in the final drive.
Make that whole game. Gave up a TD (again blown coverage), whiffed on a game ending pick, blew the coverage on Tyree and then basically stood and watched Rodney grappling with him...
And yet the kneejerks (yes we had them back then, too) all wanted to blame the RCB who did his job all game long until he was hung out to dry or the QB who was beat to **** but still managed to stake them to a lead with 2 minutes left to defend a 90 yard field...
If anyone needs any further evidence of how Harrison has forgotten the Patriot Way, they should take note of this. As Mo points out, this is not a great revelation of fact about Samuel's screwup on that play, but it sure tells you a lot about Harrison's character, or to be more precise, his lack of character. Blowing the biggest play of his career is pretty haunting, I guess. Keep that in mind on Sunday when he goes "all in" for the Giants.
That's a crock and just shows how little understanding you have of this game. Rodney has avoided tossing his teamates under the bus other than as a team for the last 4 years even as fellow mediot beat the dead horse. He isn't a player anymore, he's an analyst and as such he's well within his rights to analyze what happened. He explained what the coverage was and how the play unfolded. He did his job, and then did his best to cover for a guy who didn't. Jarvis Green had Eli in his grasp, and he failed to bring him down. He's owned and lived with that. Rodney was exactly where he was supposed to be in cover 4 man and he's lived with being scapcoated by idiots for 4 years. Asante opted to gamble and release his man assuming Eli would either be sacked or attempt to throw the ball away. He's never owned any of his shortcomings, never did throughout his career, still doesn't to this day. Rodney turned around and saw ONE wide open receiver in the middle of the field as Eli escaped the sack. Asante's man. He did the best he could to get to that abandoned man and it took a freak effort on Tyree's part to hang onto that ball. As Asante stood and watched from about 15 yards away. He didn't lose a wink of sleep since he was flying out to the Pro Bowl in the AM to sell himself to the highest bidder. Asante never got the Patriot Way.

This is the worst thread of all time.
The replay clearly shows that Tyree was his man. He did what Asante is known for, though. He gambled when it looked like the line would get to Eli and it was too late to do anything by the time he realized that the line did not get him and the ref did not blow the play dead. If he had held on to the INT, then none of the other stuff would matter.
But alas, that game is over with. We have one to look forward to on Sunday. Let's just focus on that.
God some of you have thin skin: "Worst thread of all time," "Please kill it," "please make it stop!" etc. Jeez, stuff happens--the Pats didn't play their best game that day, and the Giants caught all the lucky breaks. Get over it. We're playing them again this week under what is the perfect scenario IMO.
I see nothing wrong with NBC's Rodney Harrison, who just happens to have been on the other end of the Tyree catch, talking about it during this Super Bowl week. Rodney is one of the greatest Patriots of all time, and was a total bada$$ on that particular play. As someone else said, he did everything humanly possible to break it up. To say that he should have or could have "punched the ball out" is asinine.
The line DID get Eli. He was clearly in the grasp. Mike Carrey said so after the game. He was supposedly just so amazed that Manning didn't go down he didn't blow the whistle.
Guess you haven't been around much.. This is no where close to the worst thread of all time..
