Harper's good far out weighs the bad as this vid proves.
Harper's job isn't to cover WRs.
I'd take him on my team any time.
Harper = Playmaker He's a great SS.

Green Bay is more worried about how they're going to slow us down.

Roman Harper Highlights - YouTube

This is highlight film. It shows Harper making plays, few plays in coverage almost all tackles. Again hes a great tackler not so much in coverage. I love my Saints just like anyother fan but the reality is hes suspect in coverage. It doesnt matter what position he has to cover hes the matchup the QB os keeping in mind in his progression. Even when I play madden and I run into a fellow who dat I torch his ass because I know hes a bum In coverage. Remember when Drew was on the cusp of breaking an unattainable record that 3rd- 29 conversion Steve Smith caught on Roman Harper, remember that OT game in Chicago and just like all.game long Pass interference on Roman Harper cost the Season? All im saying is there are other SS's that tackle just as good.and.play well in coverage ie Donte Whitner, Dawan Landry, Brodney Pool, Quinten Mikel

Did you watch all 10 minutes of the highlight film? Think you could have found that much on any other players not name Vilma? No.

Look you could argue that if the pass rush and the LB play was better that Harper would be exposed to miss matches called by Williams. Yes Harper is a little slow on top end but he gets to maximium speed very quickly too. He has the smarts and is a sure tackler.

In any case, Harper isn't the problem with the defense. When you have a DL that can't put pressure on the QB or a LB corp that only has one playmaker, your SS will be left exposed.

ALL PLAYERS GET BEAT. There are great players on the other side of the ball getting paid too.
