Rodney Harrison - A Football Life Trailer

[Patjew]

This is awesome. Rodney is still my favorite Patriot of all time. Such an all-time beast.

We haven't voted him in the Pats hall yet did we?

I never put any blame on Rodney for the helmet catch. It was ****ing surreal...he tried to punch it out but nope.

Rodney deserves zero blame.

Asante deserves most of it.

We haven't voted him in the Pats hall yet did we?

No. I think the issue with his candidacy is that he was elite for two years and due to injury and age was good to average for the remaining 3 or 4 years here.

But 03-04....my god.

Might have two less rings without him...think you gotta make an exception.

Rodney could not play in todays NFL at all. He would be getting fined or suspended every week. Its a shame that defenders cannot play with that kind of physicality anymore. It takes away a lot from the game but oh well, player safety over big hits. Safeties especially cannot play their real game anymore.

If he was voted in I would not strongly object to it.

...and yes if they had him in 05 and 06 they do win one of those SBs as Eric Alexander would not have been in coverage.

**** Jeff Fisher. Bruschi sounded like he wanted to knock him right out. Peyton owes Jeff Fisher one big time...

Not yet, but he cannot be too far behind. I hear Rob's point, but I think Rodney has to be considered at some point. The man made too many big plays not to be, IMO.

Agree and disagree at the same time. Alexander is moot if Reche makes that catch in '06. Though I agree he should have never been in coverage. But the AC was mysteriously off in the RCA dome and half our D was taking in IV's. But there was no misconduct there by the opposing organization. Weird things only happen in Foxboro.

Refs cheated us, should have been first and goal at the one instead of Gost field goal.

There were so many things wrong with that game. What about Hobbs' PI in the end zone on Wayne, which was a call that the league admitted to getting wrong and for which they apologized in writing? That was a free seven points.

It burns me up inside when I think about how close BB and TB12 actually were to having eight, YES 8, Super Bowls - '06, '07, '11, and '15. Each had it's own thing . . . '06 - Reche, '07 - helmet catch, '11 - sideline catch , '15 - OLine.

 

[Actual Pats Fan]

The nonsense he talked about Brady early in Defamegate. I don't remember the quote exactly, but it was disparaging. You shouldn't do that to a guy who helped you win two SB's and one who had your ass up in another SB that your D could not close out. Either keep your mouth shut or show some support.

Anyone who takes up public speaking is at some point going to say something stupid. Occasionally, a real bright person will take or make the opportunity to retract or apologize for it. In today's media, it's mostly how people speak and present themselves, rather than what they're in fact saying.

I hear you, except public apologies have become among the most disingenuous things in current culture. How many times did Manziel do it (just the first name to come to mind)? How many other celebrities/public figures have we seen say dumb sh*t and then apologize a day later and, guess what, end up right back in the spotlight for some dumb sh*t that they no doubt pledged never do to or say again in said apology? It's a carousel of stupidity and triteness.

I was a huge Rodney fan for years, and could not believe it when we got him. Same for Corey Dillon the next year.

I was extremely apprehensive before that debacle in Denver in '06, that he stayed in Atlanta and was not there with the team for that game-he was our inspirational leader, and it was a miracle Tedy was even playing. Some sicker than usual trash was talked before that game, and the team did not come out focused. Also bothered me that Tom watched other games and highlights beforehand; we didn't get the bye and you need to be mean and focused come playoff time; highlight watching is for the summer.

Rodney's mere presence on and off the field would have made a huge difference the following year, you're right, they might've won both.

I was not referring to a fake, staged, ghost-written, forced, press conference (meaningless) 'apology'

Gotcha, APF.

Rodney was exceptional on and off the field. He belongs in Pats' HOF, but more so do Julius Adams, Grogan, Francis, and Stingley.

Ugh. Loved Rodney when he was here pretty much WAS the patriot way. I might have to break my ban on NFL network to watch that. A football life is such a great show, wish there were more like it. I miss the classic football channel for learning about the history of the game but this is the next best thing

Give it a while. It will be on Youtube.
