Chiefs Nap Harris vs. Kawika Mitchell - Page 3

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?

I'm surprised Nap has stayed healthy. I was afraid he would be Tinker Bell part II.

It seemed he always had a free shot at the QB and then whiff missed him. And more than likely it was on a 3rd and long.

FYP

Only thing Sims did in his years here that I remember was the interception in the Sunday Night game vs Buffalo. And the stop of Denver's 4th and 1 two years ago at Arrowhead. Other than that I remember him getting blown off the line time after time.

He was also a zero....and fat

I thought Mitchell started tackling better, but he had a hard time getting off blocks, which Harris seems to do better.

Mitchell absolutely was the worst at finishing a blitz. He usually timed it great, but man, did he whiff.

I can't say he particulary stood out in coverage, but seeing as how I really haven't seen Harris get beat much, I have to assume he is doing it well. All in all, Harris is definately an upgrade IMO.

Napolean Harris has been the unsung hero of the Chiefs defense. He was a FA acquisition that has really paid off. His coverage skills are second to none, okay Urlacher, but not many are that good in coverage being the size of LBer that he is. He is also fundamentally sound when tackling, something Mitchell never was. I'm very pleased with Harris' play up to this point.

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.

[QUOTE=Direckshun;4317742]Another thing.

Mitchell at least displays the desire to be a team leader.QUOTE]

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 was much better than the harris we 'upgraded' to.

HAHAH..this thread is comedy gold.

Ditto.

I'll watch a game taped from the week before looking for reasons to rip Nappy and he's just...not...there.

He's not near the ball, he's not in on plays, it's like he's Predator cloaked or something. At least you could bag on Kawika for the sure sack he managed to miss or half-tackle before someone like Trent Dilfer managed to elude him.

Nappy isn't even on screen...

yes. Mitchell was nothing special, but like it or not, a team won a Super Bowl with him starting at MLB.

He missed some plays but made more than he missed.

Having Napoleon Harris on your team is like playing with 10 guys on defense.
