AL Harris: Road to Truth (Recovery) 

Post#1 » by MikeIsGood » Wed Feb 10, 2010 11:40 pm

Apparently Al is doing a video journal about his road back to recovery...which he calls truth. NFP has the first video up on their site now.

It's nothing too exciting but it might be interesting to follow.

He wants to play 3 or 4 more years? In all honesty, if there is a CB that can do it it is Harris. Woody probably could as well.

With his savvy and the league wide need for even just remotely competent corners, i could see him surviving another 3 years even if it's more a nickle back role.

Agreed, he may not have 3-4 years left as a starter. Probably 1, maybe 2 as a started, but he has the skills the be a nickle back and a good one at that. Wish him a speedy/healthy recovery.

Like I said before, since Woodson plays the slot in nickel, the best place for Harris is as the nickel back where he can come in and press on the outside but not have to play every down. Tramon Williams is plenty capable of handling the other side.

I can't see anyway that Harris is ready for the start of next season...absolutely none.

If he gets a blood transfusion from Nick Toon he will.

I would expect him to be able to play next season, say he's at 100%, and perform like he's about 80%.

Yeah I don't expect him to be at 100% by the start of the season. I was actually starting to sour on him pre-injury. The guy never has a clue where the ball is. However he is obviously better than trotting out guys like Jarrett Bush I guess.

Part 2 of this series. It's good to see him working hard and keeping a positive attitude.

He's trying to push recovery down to 6 months instead of the typical 9 or 10 (not sure if that's the recovery period for an average person or for an athlete).

Atari Bigby really likes the word um.
