James Harrison officially signs with Pats

[Ring 6]

I really hope I am wrong about Harrison.

In all honesty what i’m seeing from Steelers fans on social media is pathetic. This guy poured his heart and soul out for the Steelers ever since he came into the league.

The Steelers benched him all year then cut him on Christmas Eve and Steelers fans have the audacity and temerity to call him a “snake” for trying to win another ring before hanging it up. Sad.

They are too stupid to realize he was cut and wanted to play for a contender. Suck it Squeeler fans!

If Harrison has any value, his 19 career playoff games and 3 Super Bowl appearances mean something. He is the definition of battle tested.

"Something about this setup doesn't look right. It must be a disguised screen pass/end-around/direct snap."

Just like Brady can suss-out a defense, so someone like Harrison can suss-out an upcoming play - he's already seen them all before. Sometimes there is no substitute for experience.

Ok, I need James Harrison to not get any sacks in the playoffs. He can not break Willie's playoff sack record. Just let Harrison set up the sack and let someone else clean it up for the sack stat.

If he does break Willie's record, I'm all for everyone in the stands in ganging up on Harrison and stomping on him until he's barely alive.

Those in Stiller land are probably in cardiac arrest right now.

Yinzers just burned down half of PA.

EDIT: The other half was already razed after Wentz got hurt. So PA is gone.

Harrison sacks Ben to send the Patriots to the Superbowl. I can see it now.

The Pats brought in Jonathan Freeny for a game. He left a lot to be desired. Is Harrison at least as good as him?

Also, it would be fricken hilarious if the Pats win a SB with Harrison and Harris.

That Brady/Harrison photo reminds me of this.

 

[Danger Zone]

I'm glad EVERYONE took my post out of context. I'm saying he's good for a BIG play somewhere down this Super Bowl road and I'm in.....but whatever...this board is quirky and touchy sometimes. Carry on.... (edit: or kiss my ***)

I know right?

So sad when people overreact and assume you're doing the same ol' schtick you always do.

Exactly. If my SB pick survives this is the scenario...

If it's a disguised screen play to Gurley in the SB who do you trust to see it first?

Harrison, Lee or Wise?

Very Interesting...

Why James Harrison joining Patriots could have as much to do with Chiefs as it does Steelers

“This also could be a signing with the Patriots' first playoff opponent in mind. If the Patriots can clinch the top spot in the AFC, there's a chance they could face the AFC West champion Kansas City Chiefs, the team that stunned them in Week 1. And though the 39-year-old Harrison hasn't played much this season, he has had a history of dominating Chiefs left tackle Eric Fisher.

Harrison's most extended action this season came in Week 7 against the Chiefs, when he logged 18 of his 38 snaps on defense this year. Harrison provided a late sack and a handful of pressures to help the Steelers win and prevent a late Chiefs comeback. And in January, Harrison also had a sack and later drew a key hold against Fisher with a strong pass-rush move at game's end as the Steelers held on for a postseason victory at Arrowhead Stadium.

Prior to the Week 7 game this season, Steelers defensive coordinator Keith Butler said he wanted to feature Harrison in an expanded role because “it’s always good to have James Harrison when you’re playing Kansas City and let the offensive tackle [Fisher] see him.”

Additionally, the Patriots' coaches took note of the Fisher hold and used that play — with the same officiating crew as the Chiefs-Steelers playoff game — to exploit Falcons left tackle Jake Matthews at the end of Super Bowl LI. Surely, the Patriots know all about Harrison, who has faced the Patriots 10 times in the Belichick-Tom Brady era. But that matchup with Fisher had to be fresh in their minds.”



Eric Fisher is #2 in the NFL in sacks allowed among LTs.

Looks like the New year is going to be a lot of fun. I'm a happy Pats fan just now.

What the **** is with Steelers fans wishing injury on other players?

 

[RobertWeathers]

Wow that was fast.

Oscar and Felix.

 

[nabwong]

Btw, there was no reason for the Pats to claim him on waivers because they're one of the last teams on the list anyway.

 

[RobertWeathers]

What the **** is with Steelers fans wishing injury on other players?

They are not fans. They are scumbags

 

[TinhWoodhead]

Hopefully Rhodney Harrison 2.0

If your girlfriend dumps you, it ain't cheating on her when you hook up with someone hotter the next week.

If he can help with the run defense i would be very happy. He can be a situational pass rusher as well. He should be fresh.
