If I was him, I change my name quickly. I'm sure that he's heard lots of this growing up, so gay! Maybe Donovan will play this tune as his welcome to the team song.

College he was impressive, I didn't think he was anything to talk about in the NFL, but heh, with out injuries we couldn't do much worse.

Re: Redskins sign Macho Harris
 

Big Name. Big Lame.

Re: Redskins sign Macho Harris
 

Here's to hoping he can step up because Moore and Doughty have not impressed at all this season. Our FS position is a mess -- poor coverage and poor tackling. I was hoping that both would work out (Moore apparently had a great camp and Doughty is a terrific success story and someone to root for with all of the trauma he's been through with family health issues), but sadly it hasn't been the case.

Re: Redskins sign Macho Harris
 

Ahhhh YES! Loved watching Macho play at VA Tech. I hope he can produce for the 'skins!

Re: Redskins sign Macho Harris
 

I'm glad that we signed Franco Harris. We need more Immaculate Receptions.

Re: Redskins sign Macho Harris
 

Loved him at VT! Machooooo

How can you say another Bum? Looks like that "VT bum" Mike Vick really looked shitty against us.

Re: Redskins sign Macho Harris
 

Macho! Love it when my Hokies are signed by the Skins, we've got 3 now & all of them could be starting. This week he'll see some time on spec. teams. if nothing else.

I know macho is a little slow, but he's a better tackler than all our secondary w/the exception of Doughty. He'll at least bring some toughness & maybe push some of the other guys. The secondary tackling has been really poor this year, one more thing I miss about GW's teams.

Re: Redskins sign Macho Harris
 

love macho harris from my days at tech. glad to see him get another chance.

Re: Redskins sign Macho Harris
 

I loved watching him play at VT, I really thought if he was in the right system in the NFL he could turn to be a decent pro. Hopefully he gets that shot with us, although I'm not too optimistic if the Eagles cut him.

I said on the TEAM, as in the Redskins, I didn't say in the NFL. Look at your avatar, that's the other bum I'm referring to.

Re: Redskins sign Macho Harris
 

Has anyone actually paid attention to our safety play? Besides Landry, none of them are worth a damn.

I don't know why people are hating on Macho. He hasn't proven that he cannot be a viable starter here like Horton, Moore and Doughty have.

I would bet almost any amount of money that he has better coverage skills right now then Doughty or Horton ever have.

I agree, why not give him a chance? He's young and has been a starter before. Moore has showed inconsistency all season. One game he looks good and the next he sucks. Landry is a Pro Bowler this season for sure but I'll be honest the guy really cant cover anyone. Tremendous at Run stop and getting to the line of scrimmage. He's playing like the best S in the NFC so far, I just hope he can play Sunday.

Moore can't run support and Landry can't cover. When both are healthy and schemed right, they make a good duo.

Re: Redskins sign Macho Harris
 

Harris has skills, a lot of heart and passion for the game. I look forward to him playing for us.

Re: Redskins sign Macho Harris
 

I think Harris would fall under the category of "cheap and available". Given our injuries we're really not in a position to be too picky.

:blah:

And those VT players will be beating the pants off of UVA this weekend as they go UNDEFEATED in the ACC. Yeah, their bums alright. :rolleyes:



There's no reason to be hatin' on the guy. Give him a chance.

Moore's tackling has been so bad that it often negates his coverage. He hasn't looked that good at making plays on the ball either. I thought he showed a lot of promise in limited action last year, have been disappointed w/him this year. I only wonder how he would play if GW were the coach, he insisted his db's tackle well.

True, but it's great to find a guy that young who was a starter last year. The fact that he was still out there this late in the year may be a red flag that we're willing to ignore, but I'm excited as some others are cause we saw him make a lot of plays in college & know that he brings some toughness.

Heard him on comcast last night, he's excited to be picked up by his hometown team so he'll be very motivated.

I'll second that. They've already got the ACC Atlantic locked up, and I'll bet they'll be repping the ACC in the BCS. This after an 0-2 start no less. And seriously who rips on VT players? They've made great pro's over the years. Now granted they don't have as many higher profile players like USC/Ohio State/etc. but off the top of my head i can think of plenty of NFL players who have succeeded who came from Tech.

Moore has been a HUGE disappointment....I think we will look to upgrade in the offseason. Dude whiffs on way to many tackles

Re: Redskins sign Macho Harris
 

I realize being great in college is definitely not the same as being great in the NFL, but I can vouch for the guy....he's got talent. He definitely played for a great defensive coordinator at Tech and got some good experience playing in a very good defense in Philadelphia. I think Harris will help us out.

Re: Redskins sign Macho Harris
 

Great signing! (as a VT fan i'm biased) but I've always been a fan of Macho. He can definitely help our secondary and he's a better FS in coverage than Moore or Doughty. He's not the fastest guy, but he's a gamer and a ballhawk.

Re: Redskins sign Macho Harris
 

haha hokies took the bait. gotta love it. Seriously though, UVA has turned out better pro talent. I started typing it all up, but I got lazy, so just look at the bottom sections of the links. Note, VT has no HOFs.

Thanks to Jay Cutler who I think MOST of us can agree on is blah. Hall can't cover for shit. Sure he has good hands, but if he could cover he might actually have double what he has.

I'm a Hokie, but I won't "take the bait" on this one. I think your argument is about right, UVA has turned out better pros overall, but not by a great margin.

Look at that list from the past decade though. Sure, UVA had more 'blue chip' players that went in the 1st round or even top 10 (Monroe, Ferguson, etc.), yet during that time (Groh's era) we have owned UVA, only losing once. Groh had some great recruiting classes, as did Welsh, but they didn't always lead to good teams. Groh's 2002 class was pretty hyped up, but things didn't work out. (btw, I'm a little worried about saturday simply because we have little to gain by winning, we're in the title game already).

FYI, Bruce Smith was a 2009 inductee in the HOF. A good UVA student (I'm married to one) would never assume Wikipedia's page is always correct or up to date! :)
