James Harrison Performance Poll

[Horace's Ivories]

I was expecting good but based on the "in coverage" play, the two sacks, and that additional pressure play they cut off before he got there.. very pleased.

I was only here to vote for Ray killing a guy.

He exceeded my expectations. They weren’t necessarily that high, but still...

 

[IcyPatriot]

Did not expect him in coverage - bet he wishes there was another game tomorrow.

 

[RobertWeathers]

He played just fine and in their own way, Steelerfury.com agrees.

Epically stupid move to just release Deebo. Today showed he had something left in the tank. The resident know it alls on here said he had nothing. He helped our chief competitor win today. If he was such a problem, he should’ve been home suspended with pay not helping the ****in Patriots.

As for sample size, that’s a very odd way to look at it. There are a max of 4games left for the Pats including today. Therefore, he was effective for 25% of the games the Pats have left. He helped them sew up Home field today.

It was a stupid move to let Deebo go. It’s ok to admit Jeems. No one will think less of you....promise.

Today’s performance, regardless of the degree to which he had an impact, is enough evidence to prove that cutting him was a mistake. We filled a need for the pats. This is the antithesis of strategic, it was downright shortsighted.

Well, even in garbage time it shows that Harrison was better than MOATS. Something we all were saying. SO, we made ourselves worse and the rival better because...reasons?

I vote for the secret 5th option: "Steelers suicide inducing performance"

 

[Dingleberry]

I'm not going to lie. It got to half mast.

Will he be this years Floyd?

2 votes so far "as expected".. really?

 

[RIpats88]

4 tackles, 2 sacks(one a strip sack) and solid setting the edge. looked really solid to me.

 

[pctronics0072]

I expected a sack and a couple good plays. So better than expected.

 

[IndianPat]

I like the fact that JH got to play 26 snaps. The coaching staff threw him out there to prove himself and I think he came out with flying colors. That's all he asked for - to give him a chance.

you should see me when jimmy g throws a TD

Okay splinter.

 

[yukon cornelius]

All I know is that I sincerely hope the not telling him how they line up for the Anthem was an intentional, welcome to Foxboro ball bust

I'm on record as saying he was done. Too slow. Guy who works for me is a Steelers die hard and has watched every Harrison snap and he said he is at the end. I watched some highlights and he looked "ok" to me.

I voted "much better than expected".

I think hes really gonna help this team even if he isn't what he was. With that said, what he was a DPOY so 50% of that is still pretty good.

 

[PatriotsFan87]

I gave him better than expected because he had that nice tackle in coverage to force the punt. I saw him pushing in the pocket a lot. If his sacks came earlier in the game I might have given the highest rating. I wonder if Bellicheck wants him to rush but stay somewhat responsible to set edge against run. Maybe this is why we didn't see him using speed until very late when it was obvious passing scenarios. Seems encouraging that he might have an impact. I hope he is juiced up against the Steelers IF we have to face them in postseason.

 

[VegasGuy]

I put played to what I expected.

I had a feeling he could still play but I also don't want to think he's the JH of old because of a couple of garbage time sacks.

 

[Tuck]

I was not at the game but on tv, he seemed to be in position for every play that I could see from a he network broadcast. Very impressed at his apparent ability to pick up the calls in just a few days. Maybe it’s just experience and instincts but impressive none the less. Would like to know if he looked as good from people who were actually there today.

 

[yukon cornelius]

stats aside, the legs & power looked better than expected

 

[jam757]

I voted better than expected but honestly did expect a semi-dominant performance. He is such a rock on the edge and really helps the run D. The tackle on the receiver in open space was brutal. Looked like he was tackling a dummy. His incredible strength was also evident in bull rushing and almost pushing the lineman into Petty. Excellent pick up and I expect the snap count to climb!
