Chiefs Nap Harris vs. Kawika Mitchell

Direckshun · 10-23-2007, 12:55 AM

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.

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

Looks like the hounds are in to correct you.

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

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

Direckshun · 10-23-2007, 12:58 AM

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.

Too bad that doesn't mean shit if you don't prove it on the field from leading by example.

Heart and desire go only so far before at some point, talent steps in.

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

mitchell just didnt have the body to play physical coupled with his inability to play zone coverage, ya he looked like a tard.

He had the body. He was strong and when he did hit people they flew backwards. IMO his only problem was he tended to over react to plays.

Hootie · 10-23-2007, 01:16 AM

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.

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.
