Chris Harris An Unlikely Fit For Giants

The Chicago Bears today parted ways with veteran safety Chris Harris, who had been benched recently in favor of younger players. Before you go and start thinking that Harris, a 29-year-old with 83 career starts in the NFL, would be a nice pickup for the Giants, perhaps you should read some of the things being said about him at SB Nation Chicago.

Among other reasons, Harris was released because of an "inability to play special teams" and because of a "lack of execution in the Cover-2 defense."

Harris, or anyone who would come to the Giants as a reserve defensive back, would need to be able to handle both of those responsibilities. So, in case you were wondering, this does not seem like a match.

The Bears had reportedly tried to trade Harris prior to the recent NFL Trade Deadline, but had been unable to do so. Thus, with no real use for him, they have sent him packing.

Random Question: Has anybody seen Derrick Martin do anything?

This is a legit question. I don’t know if he’s been standing out on specials or not. If he isn’t, why not cut him and bring along Harris at the vet min?

Comes Down to 1 Question

Is he better than Dion Grant? (Wouldnt take much.)

Grant will be good in rotation

Once we are at full strength. Grant also is a good emotional leader and brings a lot of synergy.

We already have someone better than Grants

his name is Rolle… and once Tyron Smith and Prince learn the system better, the more opportunities we can take Grant out of the starting defense.

absolutely

I like the guy. I just think next year he should be looking at coaching rather than playing.

Barden is coming off PUP

maybe Martin goes? I think Clayton though.

Prince is coming back so we are in better shape in DBs

All the Giants should play like Mark Bavaro.

It is equally worthless when people are always optimistic or always pessimistic. Either way I take their opinion with a pound of salt because I know they only have one setting. I post my own thoughts, not what either side wants to read.

by UnknownJintsFan on Oct 27, 2011 3:46 PM EDT reply actions  

I think its Martin that goes.

I like Martin, suprised he made the team, but its Barden for Martin. With Koets being injured still, he looks like he is headed to IR. So Clayton’s job is safe.

Besides, remember how upset Coughlin was that he had to cut Clayton.. I dont think he could do it again.

You aren't joking
“inability to play special teams” and because of a “lack of execution in the Cover-2 defense.”

He is the exact opposite of what we would need. He would be like trying to put out a fire by dumping gasoline onto the flames.

Yup time to get the Eagles in a deep hole. We can handle the Cowboys.

As far as they knock each other real hard it is fine with me and it is win-win for us as far as we beat dolphins.

Cowboys and Eagles can knock each other out.

BUT

If Chris Harris came to the Giants, he could make an appearance here on BBV. Whilehe was playing for the Panthers he was an author on Cat Scratch Reader. Just gotta look at the positives

this isn't baseball

it’s comical how some fans want to sign every name player that becomes available. This is football. It’s not as simple as plugging a player into the lineup.
