Hopefully he can get 40 tackles again this year.

Whoever compiled those tackle stats was very liberal as compared to what NFL.COM shows.

Why the hell would you move Harris OUT of his position?

**** Mitchell altogether (he's horrible) and Edwards works as an OLB in a 4-3.

I think one of the 2 will be resigned. Kawika is younger and might be cheaper considering the lack of interest but for some reason I feel that Donnie is on his way back.

If Donnie is signed Harris moves outside; if Kawika is signed Harris stays in the middle and Kawika moves outside IMO.

He's an OK acquisition, but it will continue to not matter who is there until we install some DTs.

I believe Harris played OLB in Oakland. I might be wrong though.

what makes anyone think that Harris can be good enough in coverage for our system?

seems like we have signed a player with the intention of playing him towards his weakness ....... again.

Perspective, douche.

He'll have a lot more than that this year as the unquestioned starter.

The way I see it:

Out - Kawika Mitchell average MLB that stays healthy.

In - Nap Harris underachieving MLB that can't stay healthy.

Doesn't look like a good move to me. I'm hoping Willis is around at 23 and KC takes him.

Combine the front office's persistent inability to project players into positions at the next level with the increasingly high demand on 3-4 ends, OLBs, and NTs, and you have a recipe for disaster.

because in our system the linebackers drop in coverage a ton


our middle linebacker is expected to turn a run with the tightend a ton.


IF Harris is strong against the run and weak in coverage then putting him at MLB in our system will basically turn him into Kendrell Bell.

I agree with that concept. Except I'd rather have Donnie for MLB, than Kawika.

There really aren't any other options and Mitchell proved that he can't play at all in this system, he doesn't even tackle well.

We can't sit around and wait for Willis in the draft either seeing as his 4.4 range 40 puts him ahead of our pick now.

Very good point. Harris was not that good in coverage last year for the Vikings.

Best thing for this team to do is sign Donnie Edwards to play MLB.
