Usually when Harper stinks, the whole defense stinks.

You have to try really hard not to like the guy... He's been good for us, more than bad I think.... Congrats Harper!

He should be. He has had to be a 1 man gang.

Like the guy also, whoever said you cannot teach ball skills is right though. But what a hitter and go go-geter he is and has worked for the kudos he gets. Most any team would want that guy.

Awesome. Glad for him.

Just don't toss him the Halas or Lombardi trophy.

He does seem to be performing better since GW roams him around .... still, he should have intercepted that effing ball!

big ups for Mr. Gray!
He was all over the field but yes, he could've saved me a few fingernails by catching that end zone pass....
Congrats, #41

He is definitely not the weakest link. Good job Harper. He is leading our D in just about all categories, and at SS.

Harper is one of our best tacklers, but one of our worst cover guys.
That's why he plays strong safety, and not free safety.
Harper does his thing EVERY week and takes flack because he can't stay with a good TE or a back out of the backfield.
It's just not his strength. He doesn't have much of a trun-and-go, or a good 0-60, but he brings the wood, EVERY week.
We, and GW, just have to find a way to cover his weaknesses. The same way we cover all the other weaknesses.
Harper should be probowl, AGAIN! We have no substitute for his contributions to our success.
