yeah...saw that. Forget where he was drafted...this kid is a SOLID piece.Round 1... round26...who gives a shyt. Have to say this draft is the first one in a long time where I can SEE the why's and wherefores of their decision making. Offense is the new paradigm. I expect the DL to fill out with vets later in June. Harris will easily play out his rookie contract IMO.
I think it would be awfully hard to take the ball out of Sony’s hands, manxman. We couldn’t have asked for anything more as a rookie. He proved to be a difference maker right out of the gate. I would hate to see that momentum halted by screwing around too much.It’ll be interesting who gets the most carries next year between Michel and Harris. I don’t think it’s a given that Michel is ‘the starter’. I don’t think that’s how they’ll approach it.
I think we can start by giving him situational carries as the season progresses and go from there. This could occur during leads, second half clock killing situations, and possibly even spot duty starts due to injury.Rex Burkhead replacement after he leaves, or gets injured.

Normally, I’d agree with you as to how they approach most (almost all) positional battles, but I think Sony is clearly the RB1.
Must be hard on you emotionally being both a Tide and Pats fan. 2013 is the only year since 2011 that one of them didn’t win a championship. How do you sleep at night?I love this pick. Yeah, I'm an Alabama Homer, but you only needed to watch a handful of games to see Harris as a big-time contributor. He is a powerful runner, and rarely lost yardage. Wicked hard to tackle, usually taking 2-3 defenders to bring him down.
He should be able to fit in pretty quickly,as Alabama uses a system very similar to the Patriots, including terminology and concepts.
No. They went in the direction of the draft, which produced (we hope) a better talent who will be affordable and under contract for 4 years.So, do we still have Jeremy Hill
I think this pick was about extending Sonys shelf life and protecting against an eventual Burk injury.I think we can start by giving him situational carries as the season progresses and go from there.

It’s great to see another piece added to the running game, and with good talent on the cheap to boot. With Michel, White, and Burkhead, they should remain dedicated to running the ball and doing it effectively. Bolden will be a ST only player who will move up due to emergency/injury situations.
