That's elite rate of production. Over a whole season that would be like 24 sacks. Steelers will rue the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelers will rue the day. Rate stats are nearly meaningless at that level. The fact that he hasn't been on the field for more than 5 games and 40 snaps very much calls into question what he can offer moving forward. I don't think the Steelers are idiots.

Hunter2_1 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Harrison will most likely be to Trey Flowers what he had been to T.J. Watt in Pittsburgh: A rotational player to at best offer a quality blend of pass rush and edge setting behind the starting option; a player that is not a liability but one whose impact can also be minimal at times. The Steelers opted to employ him that way as they clearly wanted to give higher-upside rookie Watt as much snaps as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as how valuable that experience is, that depends on a lot of other factors, but being on the field doesn't effect your ability to teach others. i think that speaks volumes.

Steelers will rue the day. even 15 sacks is good, but when a teammate has 6 and played all year, he should reconsider the sarcasm of Harrison being a mentor. It will be time to hit the field and when these 2 teams do, there could be some old school hitting in the game. Just hope it isn't like the bungles games where players are carted off and suspended etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CKSteeler Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 The Steelers aren't doing the same things on defense they were when Harrison set the franchise record for sacks. And there was already some pretty good hitting in the last contest while Harrison sat on the sidelines. Dupree is not a perfect player. But he doesn't lack physicality.

Bud will bring the pain, no doubt - ask matt moore He just isn't a RD1 3-4 OLB and never will produce as such. Effort never a concern with dupree, just slow off the snap and in the nfl that just won't pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill threw in a sweet one for him. Tomlin only offered him the chance to borrow it once a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Buck Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Such a Belichick thing to do. Another Belichick thing that will probably happen is for Harrison to go ham on opposing offenses for the next 4 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
