Nap Harris vs. Kawika Mitchell
 

Just wondering where you'd stand on this particular issue.

Mitchell doesn't have Harris' versatility, but he was a tackling machine. Harris puts up decent numbers tackling, but I doubt he'll top Mitchell's tackling numbers from 2006.

Mitchell displays a lot more fire on the field, but Harris is undoubtably the better field general.

Harris is also a lot faster, and better in coverage. A classic Cover 2 MLB.

But that's my opinion. Yours?

Based on my very limited knowledge, I thought Mitchell was doing very well, and I was suprised when he got released. However, based on what you said, and what I had heard, in general, about his lack of speed, I can see why Herm would release him and get someone who can cover more of the field. Truth be told, though, I miss Mitchell.

I miss Kawika's hitting ability. Other than that, Nap is teh man.

Another thing.

Mitchell at least displays the desire to be a team leader. Whereas Harris doesn't really show any inclination, he just does his job and leaves the leadership up to Donnie.

Just FYI, to beat the hounds that'll rush in to correct you, we released Mitchell. We didn't trade him.

mitchell floundered in deep zones. he looked like a reerun when he tried to tackle. I'l settle for harris because he can at least wrap up and drop back.

harris> maslowski > patton > mitchell

Fixed it. Thanks for the heads up.

First off, Mitchell was better than Maslowski...just thought I'd point that out.

Mitchell got a bad rap here, he was a good LB in the wrong scheme.

Looks like the hounds are in to correct you.

We didn't release Mitchell. He was a free agent who we didn't resign.

QFT

Tackle-wise, it isn't fair to compare Mitchell and Harris. Mitchell had Bell playing WLB, so of course he was going to get a bunch of tackles. DE is a tackling machine.

when you said Huard > Croyle, I let that go

Mitchell was the poor man's Polamalu. a good LB in the wrong scheme can be ammended to read; the wrong LB.

I don't know if this makes any sense.

did i miss something or can you now make comparison between players who play different positions.

Mitchell ****in sucked, I said that forever.....Harris is solid which makes him better than Mitchell by a good degree.
