Chiefs Agree with Harris - Page 3

Direckshun · 03-06-2007, 12:24 PM

I give our offseason a B so far.

Both players will elevate this team. Not yet into contention, but we've put a quick, solid fix on two positions that would be roadblocks to going back to the postseason.

Seems consensus from reading is that Harris is very, very good against the run and can seriously get after the passer but needs a little work in the coverage area.

I want to know the money, he should cost us less than KM would have and even if his coverage came under question with vik fans last year, I am sure he's better than KM at the pass, I have a buddy that's a vik fan and from what I've watched of him.

I noticed earlier that last year he had more sacks and more INT's than mitchell (double even - 1.5/1 for KM and 3/2 for Harris

) But he's taller and better for our scheme than KM.

where's the youtube experts at? Lets see some film on Harris.

yeah, NH caused two fumbles and KM did not cause any.

I've said it, not a huge upgrade, but an upgrade, and shouldn't kill our cap either.

Is it safe to assume you are being a smartass as usual? Or do you have some financial terms you would like to share?

Chiefs have made two solid free agent signings. Nothing to make ESPN headlines or break the bank, fill a couple of holes. Harris is still young enough that it wont hurt the youth movement.

nychief · 03-06-2007, 12:31 PM

NOW we need a real DT to stick in there.

Skyy God · 03-06-2007, 12:32 PM

Here's actual analysis, as opposed to Mecca's whining....

http://vikings.kfan.com/sports/nflgu...2-6EC6F2731A31

Napoleon Harris – Final Stats:
Solo – 71 / Ast. – 25 / Total – 96 / Sacks – 2.5 / INTs – 3 / TFL – 7 / FF – 2 / FR – 0

If Henderson’s performance was the most impressive among Vikings defenders, then Harris’ resurgence was the easily the most surprising in 2006.

Hounded by nagging injuries ever since his best year in 2003 when he was a member of the Oakland Raiders, Harris had quickly fallen out of favor with most Vikings fans after a disappointing 2005 campaign.

Even after Harris showed signs of life during training camp, most people figured he would fall flat once again. But Tomlin showed faith and confidence in Harris’ veteran leadership and handed him the responsibility of playing the middle spot in his “Tampa-2” defense.

As he did with most of the defense, Tomlin seemed to bring out the best in Harris and the fifth-year player responded with a very good season.

In week 2 Harris had one of his best games in a nail-biting win over the Panthers, racking up a season-high 12 tackles and a sack, the first of what would be a career-high in the sack department.

Harris continued his solid play throughout the season, despite being sidelined for two games due to injury. Harris showed toughness that many felt he did not have when he returned after the two weeks sporting a cast on his injured arm. In fact he was able to pick off two passes despite the injury, giving him three interceptions on the year.

Like Henderson, Harris sprinted down the stretch, totaling 30 tackles, a sack and two forced fumbles in the final three games of the season.

Under contract through 2008, Harris should continue to be a key piece in the Vikings’ defensive puzzle. He may see a bit of a diminished role however depending on how injured rookie Chad Greenway returns from a torn ACL.

Regardless of what his role is, Harris should continue to provide leadership and play-making ability for a defense that has become the strength of the Vikings.

.

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