James Harrison officially signs with Pats

[SammyBlueCat]

What I want to know is if Harrison used any lives yet.

@SammyBlueCat should know the answer.

Your gut instinct is correct. The answer is not clear at this time.

Not exactly exciting news, other than to piss off steelers fan.Harrison is on his last leg, i expect him to bring limited value.

JH was fired by the Steelers, in season at that. Welker wasn't fired by the Patriots, Welker chose to take the offer of the Broncos instead of the Patriots' offer. That is an apples to oranges comparison.
Show me an example of a Patriot in season cut that signed with a rival and where PF was hysterically outraged at that player? Now you have a comparison.
It may have happened, I simply don't recall...

Lawyer Milloy.

James Harrison signing reminds me of Steven Jackson few years back. Both looked big and strong. Let's hope that Harrison has more success than Jackson.

 

[maineman209]

Anybody know how good of a leader he is?

Well, if you think of a nuclear warhead as "leading" the ICBM, he's probably an excellent "leader".

No one was afraid of Jackson 2 years before we signed him, let alone at the time. Harrison had a signature moment in a 2017 win already.

Lawyer Milloy.

I dunno. I wasn't online discussing the Pats at that time, but for me and those whom I talked to, there was no outrage against Milloy for signing with Buffalo. For my part, I was just shocked and confused he was released, and the 31-0 game just amplified those feelings.

Pittsburgh fans are a spiteful bunch, so it's no surprise they turned on Harrison so quick.

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

Not sure what he has left. Was never a fan of him coming here based on his decline...but If after the Jets or whenever they can certainly cut him if it's not going to work.

Worth a try

This thread wasn't making a lot of sense till I saw the following at the bottom of the page:

Now it makes perfect sense! Good Nobita!

Lawyer Milloy.

Lawyer Milloy was cut prior to the first game of the season, so I wouldn't say that qualifies as "in season." I also don't recall any outrage being directed at Lawyer. Just my humble opinion . . .

He should be fresh and we probably only need 45-60 good snaps from him the rest of the year. He should be able to cause some havoc if kept within that workload

One of those "can't wait til Sunday" moments.

He might not see the field. He might be playing all 3 downs half the game. Who tf knows.

I guess if I were BB I'd perform the latter. Hes played 11 snaps in the last 2 months. Assuming hes not doing things to jeopardize HFA, have him do everything. Rush. Edge set. Drop in coverage. Everything.

They just bought a 2001 BMW 7 series. Might as well see what it can do still.

They cut a guy who was essentially the face of their franchise for over 15 years several days before Christmas instead of letting him retire with dignity. Now, when he signs with their main opponent, the fans are mad at him?? They ought to be mad at Steeler management for acting like the Browns.......

Yep, misplaced anger seems to be a theme there.

A lot of them still call the James non-catch the last play of the game, completely forgetting or ignoring how Tomlin and Co ****ed up those last two plays.

 

[FourierSeries]

Harrison does well against really tall LTs - Eric Fisher being the best example. He has owned him in recent meetings. So he could be key in a potential match up vs KC.

He should also do well vs Pittsburgh's Alejandro Villanueva, who is 6'9, and who has struggled against the bull rush. Harrison knows him intimately, and likely knows how to beat him better than any other player.

Good pick up.

 

[Joey007]

If this one works out like that one it’s a waste of time.

Well, didn’t blame the effort for that one in terms of bribing him in.

It was either him or a 270 Fullback hybrid named Joey Iosefa.

 

[K. Dog]

How many defensive calls does he have to learn and how likely is this to be an issue?

Nothing to disagree here, Harrison is 39 and wasn't good enough to start with the steelers. Expectations should be limited at best.
