Harris is already hurt at Bill’s camp.

No way. Is this true? Don't want to google it myself. I thought he will start the season strong, flex his muscles and then go away for his normal 4 to 5 games, come back, flex again and then in and off till the season ends.

I nearly choked chewing and watching this. Not seen anything hilarious in a long time.

Welcome to the team, Zeke.

Holy crap. I thought for sure Zeke Elliott interest was just a head fake

 

[Urgent]

Good news.
A very major obvious OL need remains, but looks like a trade will be required. There's not a similar Zeke-level OT on the market. I'm sure lots of calls are being made. With a little health, it's really only a RT that's required - which is easier to find than a LT.
This improves the team. And roll the dice with a couple Day Three running backs next year.

Why? He only does that after a good gain....

Oh, I'll be happy about the good gain. And then he will ruin it with his animated slurping motion.

Harris may be younger but his running style (which I love btw) lends itself to injuries.

Don’t hate it I guess. I think he’s washed but they need a guy behind Stevenson.

Huh? I'm sure the guy showers after every practice and game.

I did google it. Seems like he’s missed a little time with the knee. They don’t think it’s serious. But yes, he is already getting dinged up!

Hate to be a Debbie Downer, but don’t expect much out of him, if he even makes the team. Historically, I feel these signings never really work out for us: Fred Taylor, Stephen Jackson, I think there was a guy from the Colts whose name is escaping me.

Corey Dillon was obviously different as he wasn’t washed out of the league and we traded for him.

This is good. Strong didn't look great on Thurs, and now he's hurt?
Harris is unknown. (I know it's the OL fault, but still)
This depth is going to be critical. Who knows, maybe he gives us his best version to prove something.

Well they don’t need a lot out of him, Rhams the man, Zeke just needs to be a complimentary player to him.

Jackson was 32 and Taylor 33. Elliot is 28. I’m optimistic he can pass block, catch a football and run 5-10 times a game with reasonable yards.

Strong was “ok”…Harris without blocking was not good.

[TheBeers]

He's still a very effective short yardage and goal-line back as well.

Jackson was 35 and Taylor 33. Elliot is 28. I’m optimistic he can pass block, catch a football and run 5-10 times a game with reasonable yards.
