This has always put a tremendous amount of strain on tissue and finally, it tore. This condition has also limited many muscles that have never been used. When they fixed the Labrum, the tissue not only had to heal, but the full range ball and socked triggered muscle use that had normally stayed dormant and that is why his hip was swelling even though there was nothing structurally wrong. The Hawks wanted to give his body time to adjust to his new found muscle tissue which had again, stayed dormant his entire life and now he has even more power. He is not only as fast as he ever was, but now he is fully healed and is fully prepared for physical contact. All week players (Especially from our secondary) have been tweeting how he is "unbelievable" and at times leaving them in the dust. For Richard Sherman to say that if he beats him with one step, it is over is astonishing. Sherman (and his uber competitiveness) never gives props to individual receivers. Go ahead and stick your head in the sand all you want about Harvin, you won't be laughing Saturday!!
Thanks for the "insight" but we've seen Harvin before, several times as a matter of fact. Did you know he's never had a good game against the Saints? Or that the Vikings never beat us while Harvin was on the field?

I have no doubt he's a great wide receiver but we play great wide receivers all the time. We've got Julio Jones, Steve Smith and Vincent Jackson in our division. All of them had better numbers than Harvin in 2011, the last, and only time he played a full season.

Re: Who is going to cover Harvin?

I don't understand why we're concerned with Harvin. They really don't focus on getting any particular receiver the ball. Wilson takes what the defense gives him and spreads the ball around. While I'm sure he still can hurt us, Percy Harvin really isn't Percy Harvin anymore.

There are only 3 things that concern me.

-Wrapping up Marshawn Lynch
-Limit the amount of plays Russell Wilson makes with his legs
-Not turning the ball over on offense.

Two things we weren't able to accomplish before.

My concerns (for defense) are
- maintaining gap responsibility
- covering on Wilson roll outs
- defending deep passes off play action

Yea I am hoping Harvin will still be a little rusty. As far as we know he could be no more than a decoy. We are gonna need a lot of luck to win this game so lets just hope up it ends that way.

Whoever it is needs to mug him at the line. Use that five yards you get to put some serious hands on him. Harvin is explosive but insanely soft. Lofton or Hawthorne drill him on a crossing route will end his night.
