SuperBills12 Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 I feel as though he would be an awesome weapon on offense, but if you lay a big hit on him, he might die...how many guys are there in the NFL that wiegh 168 and can take a punishing? Even though it might make his slower, he should really add 10-15pounds to protect himself out there
NJ_BillsFan Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 I don't think he needs to worry much. He made it to the NFL. I am sure he has taken hits his whole life playing football. You need to worry about him as much as he needs to worry about you.

Harrison knows he would get broken in half by a LB, so he tends to get out of bounds or down on the ground in situations where he could take a big hit.
BuffaloRebound Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 Playing at Miami is basically the equivalent of playing in the NFL. He played against NFL studs everyday in practice and Miami plays an elite schedule. He will be fine.
mcgahee2107 Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 marvin harrison is 6'1 170..........i dont see the colts fans worried about his health when he gets tackled
MartyBall4Buffalo Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 I'd like to see parrish add some weight to his frame and become a deion branch esque player. Parrish has the speed to stretch defenses, excellent run after the catch, will be a valuable weapon in splitting the safeties. I'm definitly looking foward to seeing him healthy as well as kevin everett who hopefully can play sometime later this season.
stuckincincy Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 Harrison has excellent "jukes" as he runs patterns. He occasionally cuts infield, but I've never heard an announcer exclaim "Harrison curled back into the flat and took a vicious hit by the lb". If Parrish plays slot, that's pretty much the treatment he will get. Physics trumping enthusiasm every time, we'll see...

Max Fischer Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 Two words: Steve. Largent. Far as I know, Parrish played reckless in college and didn't get hurt. Just a freak accident.
scribo Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 Two words: Steve. Largent.Far as I know, Parrish played reckless in college and didn't get hurt. Just a freak accident. 440560[/snapback] Well, it was a freakish hit, but I don't know about "accident." The thing that impressed me was that he got from that hit. Then, of course, he realized his insides were scrambled. No doubt, he has to avoid those type of hits.
SuperBills12 Posted September 14, 2005 Author Posted September 14, 2005 how much do you guys think he'll play on the outside? honestly that's where I think he'll do the most damage going deep
bartshan-83 Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 how much do you guys think he'll play on the outside? honestly that's where I think he'll do the most damage going deep 440589[/snapback] Thats where I want him. I would love to see him and Evans stretch the outside and let Moulds back in the slot, where I have always thought he is at his best. I honestly think that EM would benefit more from that switch than would Roscoe. Plus it would prevent him, Parrish, from being trucked by some MLB who has 75 lbs. on him. Absolutely LOVE Moulds in the slot, coming across the middle.
SuperBills12 Posted September 14, 2005 Author Posted September 14, 2005 4 WR set...... Evans and Parrish on the outside, Moulds and Reed inside.....maan, that would be so scary
CoachChuckDickerson Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 Two words: Steve. Largent. 440560[/snapback] Linebackers were 200 lbs back then. Largent wasn't considered undersized for a receiver.
MadBuffaloDisease Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 If Parrish can learn to beat the jam, he'll play on the outside.

stuckincincy Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 Linebackers were 200 lbs back then. Largent wasn't considered undersized for a receiver. 440617[/snapback] Yes, but for much of his career he was slapped, punched, kneed, spit upon etc. by db's under the prevailing rules. I happen to think that a bunch of today's big deals would be reduced to tears and incessant cries of "unfair! unfair!" if they played under the old rules. Same with ol's if the head slap came back, and qb's were no longer afforded "protected species" status.
AJ1 Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 I'm not saying he's going to avoid every punishing hit but there will be times when 2 backers will have lined him up for a hammering, he scoots past, and the backers kill each other instead. He's that quick.
