Thanx for all that info LK.

nice human interest story...
I think it would be great to see a banner in the endzone 09/24 reading 'Aunt Claudine!' underlined 3 times. http://www.nola.com/sports/t-p/index...0659203380.xml |
I don't know.....I think thats one we should get some kind of permission for first. Ya know....the whole exploitation factor. Imagine....Madden '08. You play a game in the DOME and EA sports manages to get the Aunt Claudine banner in the game...thats kind of bizarre if you ask me.
If its just for 9/24...then I don't see a problem. |
I want to say I understand the reach factor for Harper. Okay new guys, reach if you like. It only makes it all the more imperative that he measures up though.
Of the criticism of how many safeties we have- Smith- as good as gone whether ya like him or not Bellamy- old graybeard batter show something if he wants to stick Bullocks- penciled in starter, solid Scott- I really dont know him well enough. I think of him as stopgap Stoutmire- I dunno if he can still even make this poor defense's cut Gleason- is no real DB, special teams only That totals one starter and maybe two other real safeties at all. If you rate Harper as a first day starter and wanna go with him, so be it. I supported letting Knight go and taking Tebucky even though I questioned it mightily. I wanted to be proven wrong. I don't question this move anyway close to that. It is simply, okay, let's see. Oops, I spose I am debating the merit of this pick. Seems all the plain data info has been exhausted, so have at it. |
The two draft picks we don't have to worry about areReggie Bush and roman Harper. Bush will be a star for us and Roman will be a solid starter for years. I'm telling you this guy is for real. Ask anyone who follows Bama football about "The Prophet". Without hesitation they will start telling you about how great a playmaker Roman Harper is. He is a good safety now but I think he has the potential to develop into a Brian Dawkins type safety due to his tremendous work ethic and intensity.
Trust me, Roman Harper is good people and I vouch for the guy. If Big Nic stakes his reputation on a player by vouching for him, then by God that player is legit. How come I'm starting to feel like Lefty from Donnie Brasco right now? |
Or ig Jewel from Guys and Dolls? Except they use their "markers"
|
But I was a skeptic of this pick, but now it seems better we have him. Just depends on what happens with Mr. Dwight Smith
|
I don't care what they say, Harper is currently not better than Dwight Smith. EVERY report on him says he's a liability in coverage. So the answer is to let second year player Josh Bullocks cover the entire field for safety help while this guy simply has to worry about the run? Give me Dwight who can line up against TEs and slot receivers, which is the SPECIFIC reason we brought him here. I've also not read anywhere that this guy was a ballhawk, like Sammy Knight was with limited range. This is a pick thatis definitely gonna hve to win me over.
