loyalbillsfan Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Am I the only person that think this guy is going to be a solid football player? I hope the coaching staff keeps him and finds a way to get him in to the lineup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the coaching staff keeps him and finds a way to get him in to the lineup You might very well be, although I think he has an upside. The Bills moved him to LB which fit in last year with all the other small LB's. He should be playing Safety, but there is a lot of competition there. Unless they trade Donte, it's going to be tough for him to earn a roster spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgrid Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I think he could be good as well, but really doesnt fit 3-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I think he could be good as well, but really doesnt fit 3-4 He could still be an in the box (that's what she said) safety and a very good nickle LB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lori Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Maybe he takes over Wendling's role on ST? Seem to remember him blowing a couple of guys up on returns last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purple haze Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I think he could be good as well, but really doesnt fit 3-4 He hasn't been let go yet so they must think he fits in enough to see what he can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFanForever19 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Why? A 3/4 LB is more of a DE/LB tweener. Nic Harris is an oversized Safety, but an undersized LB. You're not going to put him on the inside and he's not big enough to be a pass rusher. Of course, there's always an exception to the rule, if you will. Maybe he's just a freak of nature in camp? Stranger things have happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DUTE Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 i thought he looked very good in limited action last year, especially in the preseason. i think he could be a solid player but nothing spectacular because he really doesn't fit in with the defense all that well. good potential though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McBeane Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Nobody who hasn't failed a physical has been let go yet. I am positive at least Wendling didn't fail a physical and get cut, he just got straight up let go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjg1993 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 im a big fan of harris. he may be small but you cant tell it on tv. HE PLAYS BIG. and you cant say the same for poz whose the ideal weight but you never really see him deliver a hit or pop a running back in the hole. if youve seen harris play, you know he's a hell of football player and no number on a roster can change that.

Doc Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I am positive at least Wendling didn't fail a physical and get cut, he just got straight up let go. He did fail a physical. Hence the reason he hasn't been signed by anyone yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoner7 Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Op - Harris is a gret football player. Does he fit in our new 3-4 is the question. At the end of the day, he is still better than Ellison! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RalphW Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Harris will make the team for his special teams play and the fact that he is a versatile player. My God how many years did Stamer make the team for his special teams play......Harris is an athlete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let'em all line up and see who wins. This kid can hit and he's got the attitude we need. There's been lots of undersized linebackers who get it done. Screw the measuring tape and let'em win it or lose it on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence the reason he hasn't been signed by anyone yet. He had knee surgery after the season for what seemed to be a major problem. There was an article on the front page last week from the Laramie Boomerang detailing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLynchTrain Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Certainly true of the OLBs, does it apply to the ILBs? I honestly don't know the answer. Every site you look at will tell you that James Farrior (arguably best in the business for 3-4) is in the 240s but Pittsburgh writers and fans will say there is no way he's bigger than 220. When you got big uglies in front of you on the line it doesnt matter how big your ILB is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seadog Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 He will be on the roster for sure. Likely start on special teams and back up at inside linebacker. He's young and has nothing but upside. Mitchell is'nt getting any younger and next season could be gone so the kid just has to hang in there and if he's good enough they can't help but let him play.
