Section 237 Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 So he says. I'm thinking make him play without a helmet. Probably then could and would change the way he plays. Either way........wouldn't be playing that way for long.
Hater Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 James Harrison is a monster but he wants to knock players out to be scary but he already is scary, he a tough player he doesn't need to be a cheap shot artist
jimmy10 Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 Yeah, Golick was talking on Mike and Mike this morning about how many (including himself) are not happy with how "soft" the league is becoming in many ways. BUT, as he says, them's the rules, and if Harrison insists on continuing to play this way, he is hurting his team. Indeed, if I was a Steelers fan, after wiping the drool off my chin and adjusting my velcro sneakers, I'd be very upset with Harrison and the impact of his stubbornness.
BuffaloFan32 Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 Harrison is a moron. He is going to seriously injure himself or another player because he has no respect for other players in the league. I am all for physical play and I agree that the league is getting too soft but he is literally using his body as a weapon.
PromoTheRobot Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 I wonder if Harrison will feel the same way when someone "accidentally" takes out his knees. Oopsies! Karma can be a B word. PTR
Smears Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 Harrison would be in prison if he didnt play in the NFL. The man is naturally violent.
mrags Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 I wonder if Harrison will feel the same way when someone "accidentally" takes out his knees. Oopsies! Karma can be a B word. PTR I was just gonna say that. Someone should Warren Sapp or Vince Wilfork his @ss.
Pete Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 Man I wish the Bills had James Harrison starting at LB!
DrDawkinstein Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 Im against the "softening" of the game, but what Harrison is doing is dangerous and borders on assault. The way he plays is not the way people are taught to play, as a matter of fact it's how people are taught NOT to play. He purposely tackles in a very unsafe manner. He could tackle clean but he chooses not to. He's short so why cant he go low? He's been fined/penalized 5 times. He's talked to the NFL. He's talked to the Steelers organization. Tomlin himself said the hit was illegal and he needed to pay the consequences. He should have been suspended for 4 games and maybe appealed it down to 2. Next time he should be banned.
All_Pro_Bills Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 What Harrison's cheap shots boil down to is a lack of respect for his fellow players. And there's a big difference between headhunting and playing physical. When's it going to end? When he breaks somebody's neck and paralyzes the guy? I say next time its 8 games and fine the Steelers a percentage of their revenue sharing. That will get the point across.....

I say next time its 8 games and fine the Steelers a percentage of their revenue sharing. That will get the point across..... Exactly! I meant to touch on that myself. It's crazy that any other player in the league would support him as he is purposely cheap-shoting guys and potentially causing serious, long lasting damage. Agreed on the difference as well. Look at how Byrd tackles, great form and lots of power. And he's just a little guy. If Harrison would stop being a thug for 5 minutes and tackle properly, he'd find that he could hit guys even harder, legally. I like your ideas for what happens next time. The only problem is the league allowing a next time to happen. I have a feeling there will always be a next time until a player gets seriously injured.
DPR4444 Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 Harrison is a jackass who is worried more about his own "rep" than anything else. The Browns should have taken his knee or knees out on the next play.
billsfan in n.h Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 Man I wish the Bills had James Harrison starting at LB! i second the motion.
KD in CA Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 I'm thinking make him play without a helmet. I'm thinking we should make everyone play without a helmet.
mellaman101 Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 I wish we had a player that had a inch of the guts he has
DrDawkinstein Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 I wish we had a player that had a inch of the guts he has guts to consistently break the rules which ends in a suspension? great team player dont get me wrong, id like a guy with his (eventual) talent on the Bills. but the guy is a joke. as Stephen A Smith just said "All we're asking him to do is go low. That's it. It should have been a 2 game suspension."
Ramius Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 We'll see if Harrison shares this sentiment in 8-10 years when he can't remember where he is and pisses himself on a daily basis.
Geno Smith's Arm Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 I think he has fallen into a bad guy role and likes the attention, so he says thing like that to the media.
nateodoms'bff Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 How can anyone be against what he said? That hit on McCoy was legal 4 years ago. Now its not. People want to call Harrison a head hunter, but thats what the media praised him for with DPOY award. The Rooney's rewarded him with a huge contract. Everyone loved his aggression and his passion. Now he's a danger to the game? Fans have become so fickle now, it's taken all the fun out of the game.
