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. |

Harper is actually one of our better cover guys. The proof is in his job description. He's not a corner for a reason but he's easily the best defender we have based on his consistency. Ur letting a few plays here and there cloud Ur memory of his otherwise tremendous career and skillset. I can't believe how many pol are actually still down on this guy for what he and gw said were only 2 missed plays in Seattle last year. You can say he can't cover but he's 100% better than any safety we've had over the past 10 years |
