A pretty informative article that blasts lack of adjustments and LB play.

Wow great stuff.

Odd... no mention of teams "targeting Roman Harper on every play", or any play for that matter. ;)

Re: Chris Burke SAINTS D problems
 

I been calling for Roman Harpers head for 3 years.

I think hes a terrible Safety and it will show in this scheme.

Re: Chris Burke SAINTS D problems
 

Roman Harper has been surprisingly good, Corey White has been the MAJOR problem in coverage.

Re: Chris Burke SAINTS D problems
 

I dunno, every TD play you see these days Roman Harper is involved.

Re: Chris Burke SAINTS D problems
 

? Really not fair to blame Harper, when the LB's and D-Line are not doing their job... The only "bad" play I can think of for Harper was that "phantom" PI, it probably was the best coverage he has ever played, and was a terrible call...

Re: Chris Burke SAINTS D problems
 

Really? I just don't see that at all.

When you hear Harper's name, he's doing some bad. When you don't hear Harper's name, he's not doing his job. When Harper makes a sack, it's cause he can't cover. When he makes a tackle, it's because he's a box safety. If he breaks up a pass, he should have had an interception. If he makes a Pro Bowl, it's because it's a popularity contest.

It sucks to be Roman Harper.

And when a LB doesn't drop far enough, its Harper's fault, when a CB gets burned on a quick slant, its Harpers fault. When Jenkins gets burned, its Harpers fault.

I wish someone would show me all those TD's in the Redskin and Panther games that were Harpers fault.

You are blind then.
