Pi Kapp Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 why the crap is he still here and we let daren stone and even deke cooper walk? stone was arguably better than decoud during preseason play and harris was nowhere to be seen. not only that, but harris was just god awful as our NB last yearsigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norwood32 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 You seem biased... Harris did a good job at CB last year, in the limited playing time he saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flrybranch Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Stone has not had a good preseason.He had a couple of good hits in the last game.He has been losing practice reps all preseason.I'm not surprised at all he was cut.Harris can play CB and FS and is very good on ST.Stone has trouble in coverage which has limited him.

KJinCton Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I'll lead this comment with i have no clue as to whether i'm right or wrong on any of the moves that this coaching staff is making, but there may be the intangible working at times....Character...I have the sense that if someone is a harder worker and contributes more to the overall TEAM aspect, Smith & Co. are going to take that into consideration. And the reverse, if someone is taking away from that, we'll see them exit from here sooner or later.Maybe some of the moves we're seeing are not solely based on on the field effort, they may have some behind the scenes reasoning as well.

Pi Kapp Posted September 1, 2008 Author Share Posted September 1, 2008 Stone was a demon special teamer, and yeah harris can play special teams, and are you all kidding me about his play at DB last year? the only reason he got playing time was his familiarity with petrino from playing college at Louisville... same with montavious stanley (played like a chump, got pushed over way too much). harris was outta place ion zone coverage and got burned when he was in man 2 man. i honestly see nothing special about his play at all unless he blocked kicks like crazy during camp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stone is a big hitter and Harris is a cover guy which is what we need. That's why TD made that decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
