Don’t Bet Against Al Harris
Be sure to check out the National Football Post today and in the weeks and months to come for video updates of Al Harris’ rehab back from the devastating knee injury he suffered in the 49ers game this season. When it happened, Harris said he’d be back in six months. People scoffed. Not Cheesehead TV. How quickly [...]
Report: Al Harris Out For the Year
Torn ACL. I expect to see teams go to a lot of 3 and 4 wide receiver sets to get Bush and Underwood on the field. Tweet
Stop The Press: Demovsky Is Right
A lot of conflicting thoughts on Al Harris in the Blogosphere today. McGinn and Tallitsch are concerned about Harris not having any interceptions or big plays in camp. Rob Demovsky, (Hat Tip to Railbird) however, tells a different story in his report on yesterday’s practices. Although I can’t believe I’m about to type it, Demovsky [...]
How Will Capers Do It?
Much has been written about Dom Capers and how he will put his defensive players in a position to be successful. It’s a wonderful thought and you hear it all the time around the league on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball. “We want to put our players in a position to [...]
Great Minds, Al, Great Minds…
Love this from Al Harris, as reported by Rob Demovsky in the Green Bay Press Gazette. “Just for your knowledge, when you ask these types of questions, zone is much easier to play than man. That’s the way it is. That’s why they call it man and zone.” When asked if he isn’t suited to [...]
IronMan May Want To Skip This Post
Just found out that Al Harris canceled at the last minute and won’t be appearing at Fan Fest. In his place? Greg Jennings. Tweet
Al Harris Next Year
Tom Silverstein posted some random thoughts from down in Tampa regarding the Packers defense, and while they’re all interesting, one that seemed particularly pointed was his thought on Al Harris and the Pittsburgh-style 3-4 that Capers will be implementing: This is going to be a hard defense for Al Harris to play. It’s not that [...]
Al Harris Gets Some Love
I respect the hell out of the guys over at Football Outsiders. I don’t always find myself agreeing with their stat-intensive analysis, but more often than not they produce detailed, well written work that is nothing if not thought provoking. Today they highlight one of the unsung heroes of the Packers’ defense. Indeed, the sheer [...]
In Praise Of Al Harris
Re-watching the Saints game late last night (yes, I’m a sucker for punishment) I was shocked at how well Al Harris played. This was a game I thought for sure we would see Sean Payton and Drew Brees expose Harris’ lack of speed. But Brees wanted nothing to do with throwing at Harris, and you [...]
Decision Looming For McCarthy
Just an excellent post from Mitchell over at the ACME Packing Company concerning the upcoming decision that awaits Coach McCarthy in regards to his corner rotation. Tramon Williams has been a mini-star in his three game stint as the starting corner opposite Charles Woodson, and it’s hard to imagine Harris stepping back into the starters [...]
Harris Cleared For \’Light Practice\’
Wow. Fresh from the National Football Post, Al Harris has been cleared for conditioning and light practice (whatever that means). Unbelievable. I really hope they’re being as careful as possible with Harris. (I’m sure that they are) This could be a great development for the Packers defense. If Harris can be on the field after [...]
Al Harris Is A Warrior
According to his agent, Al Harris asked doctors to remove his spleen so that he could play against Tampa this weekend. Needless to say, it’s not that easy. One of my closest friends in the world had his spleen removed many years ago. Today, he is the picture of health and is an amazing guy [...]
Roll On Tramon Williams
Good thoughts from Andy over at PackerGeeks regarding Tramon Williams stepping into Al Harris’ spot as the starting corner opposite Charles Woodson. …it was interesting during the Cowboy game to see Tramon matched up on the much bigger TO (this happened 3 times by my count when another WR went in motion and Woodson dropped [...]
Al Harris Most Likely Done For the Year
Not good news. Harris may have ruptured his spleen during last nights game. Tweet
Packers Planning Something Different?
We know the drill when it comes to what to expect from the Packers defense against the Cowboys. Four down linemen. Bump and run from the corners. Harris on T.O. Rinse and repeat. But Thursday, Al Harris had a veeeeerrrryyyy interesting comment to Jason Wilde of the Wisconsin State Journal regarding the Packers defensive gameplan [...]
For The Record
Charles Woodson should be assigned to cover Terrell Owens when he lines up both out wide and in the slot on Sunday night. Al Harris will be eaten alive (again) by T.O. :noboys Tweet
Don\’t Expect To See Grant, Harris
Mike Mcarthy is talking, but I’m not listening. Coach is quoted as saying, regarding Grant playing tonight: If he can go, I would like to see him go No you wouldn’t. You’re telling me McCarthy is going to play Grant on a gimpy hamstring for a meaningless preseason game, but would NOT play Kabeer or [...]
