Harper on the decline?

jcp026 · 09-10-2011, 03:36 PM

I like Roman Harper, but I don't know why we can't have someone else on the field, Sharper, in obvious passing situations. I was listening to Fox and Company the other day and they said that since Harper was caught from behind by Bradford, he hasn't been the same guy. I think other defenses know just how slow he is now and are going to take advantage of it.

This this this. People keep freaking out about the Seattle and the Packers games, but everything that has been going wrong lately with this defense has been visible for a long, long time now. To me the Packers game looked eerily like an even worse, sloppier version of the Ravens game from last year... And the seeds of THAT game came out of earlier games like the Rams game, or even earlier than that, where the weaknesses were starting to show. People are figuring the Saints/Gregg Williams defense out, and I have a sinking feeling it is going to get worse before it gets better.
