The Big Cat Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 From my Tulsa buddy who's a HUGE Sooner fan: RE Nic Harris: I really liked him in college. He was a huge, physical safety, so I think he'll be fine at OLB. Hits hard, tackles well, and not as shaky in coverage as you'd think. The biggest downside is that he might have set the Sooner career record for unsportsmanlike penalties. Hopefully the league will beat that out of him. Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinteresting.
ans4e64 Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 In the Nic Harris thread on draft day I said this: Every time I saw them play this year he was doing something dirty that garnered a penalty. I had him on my list of players I didn't want the Bills to draft. It's nothing about his play, though. If they can get him to stop being such an !@#$ on the field, then I won't care. But I don't want to see him do that sshit for the Bills.
Steely Dan Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 From my Tulsa buddy who's a HUGE Sooner fan: Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinteresting. It's a double edged sword. It shows the guy is passionate about the game but also shows the chance for some bonehead plays that will keep the other teams O from being stopped 3 and out sometimes. Hopefully the Bills coaches will make him understand the difference between extreme passion and stupid penalties.
The Big Cat Posted May 1, 2009 Author Posted May 1, 2009 In the Nic Harris thread on draft day I said this: Very good, I had no patience to sift through those epic/merged threads on draft day. I'm suddenly not thrilled with the pick because it's that kind of attitude which usually ='s a short, journeyman career. Or, put differently, a fifth round pick for a guy who gives Buffalo two potentially good seasons, tops.
John from Riverside Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Yeah I really hate when the patriots do this crap while they are beating the stuffing out of us.... I hope Eric Wood drops Wilfork on his @ss I hope Nick Harris takes one of those penaties to rough up Prince Tom B.
DrDawkinstein Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 good, i like it. we need some attitude out there. we need players who really, really hate losing. its the type of move that is good to make after we have already established a bunch of "nice" guys on the field. theyll balance him out and keep him straight. Donte, Poz, Mitchell, Kelsay. theyll keep him in line and feed off of his fire. hopefully
San Jose Bills Fan Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Some players like Adrian Wilson and Rodney Harrison more than make up for their share of "stupid" penalties. Many other players do not. Case by case people.
gus2378 Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Maybe if he doesn't work out with the Bills the Sabres can give him a look ... can he skate?
The Dean Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Some players like Adrian Wilson and Rodney Harrison more than make up for their share of "stupid" penalties. Many other players do not. Case by case people. Remember Henry Jones?
H2o Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Remember Henry Jones? I remember him taking a knee to the shin and then his leg flapping around in an unnatural motion.
WellDressed Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 From my Tulsa buddy who's a HUGE Sooner fan: Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinteresting. tooooo many i's and not enough n's
The Dean Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 tooooo many i's and not enough n's There is no "i" or "n" in "team". However, there is both an "i" and an "n" in "win".
Tipster19 Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 good, i like it. we need some attitude out there. we need players who really, really hate losing. its the type of move that is good to make after we have already established a bunch of "nice" guys on the field. theyll balance him out and keep him straight. Donte, Poz, Mitchell, Kelsay. theyll keep him in line and feed off of his fire. hopefully I do too. We are long overdue for some attitude. No more Mr. Nice Guys please. I want some snot dripping, drool hanging beasts out there that just want to hit anything that moves.
Coach Tuesday Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 Do folks remember how many stupid penalties and boneheaded plays London Fletcher was responsible for when he was a Bill? Guys like that flirt with the line, but you need them and the passion and intensity they inject into the defense. I'm not worried about Harris.
/dev/null Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 I don't care how many unsportsmanlike penalities a player racks up in college. Until he kills his ex-wife and her boyfriend, the Bills records are safe
The Dean Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 Do folks remember how many stupid penalties and boneheaded plays London Fletcher was responsible for when he was a Bill? Not really. How many?
John Adams Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 Remember Henry Jones? Yeah. HE was terrible. Leonard Smith on the other hand, was good AND dirty.
Whites Bay Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 As I'd said shortly after draft day, this guy runs and hits like an escaped convict. I watched the film clips on him that afternoon, and one name came to mind....... Andre Waters. The refs will catch up with him eventually. In the interim, I'd be lying to say that I'd be heartbroken if he gave Brady a matching set.
WordByrd Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 An inside source told me they drafted Nic (why not add the K? seriously) just to take out Brady's knees. No lie! Love, SKOOBY
