In response to the Harris sucks : I do believe that although he was beaten like a drum on some plays it was not all his fault. Looking back, on a couple of the deep balls he looked like he was allowing the receiver to get by him, assuming he had help deep. I am fualting our #20(I have retired from trying to spell his last name) more than anyone. Play after play he was late, sometimes not even getting there. Springs and Harris both were trying to talk to him on the sideline after a couple of those deep balls. I believe they were trying to explain what coverages they were playing. Corners in the NFL are only as good as their D-lines pass rush. I dont care what corner it is, if they have to cover a WR for more than 4 seconds or so, the WR is going to get open. I believe thats what benefitted our D last year and in the early going this year. The games we get no pressure in the back field are the games we are giving up the big plays. Whether is LB or Lineman, somebody has to get pressure. Harris is just one of the Average CB who needs a good pass rush to look good. There are only maybe 2 or 3 guys in this league that can flat out cover someone(contradicting my earlier statement) and we gave one of them up a couple of years ago. Smoot is getting exposed in Minnesota too. I have seen him get beat several times this year.
