Harper did that very well and thats what he received that huge contract for. Fifteen yards and in is where Harper shines. Outside of that 15 yards is when he gets into trouble, like most SS's do. The real headscratcher was Jenkins. He seemed ideal for that deep centerfield saftey spot Spags runs. I'll chalk his down year up to the Spags disaster too. |

He's basically playing a LB role when he blitzes from the box, but he's usually the unblocked man due to numbers |
