I agree with the thinking, but I am not sure tackling Luck high is the right way to approach it.  We have seen many times where he shakes guys off that way.

Chris: You're an average CB who's about to find out why the words "Ty Goodbye" can be said in a sentence

They could've at least interviewed Ward

I would've been more serious

"Forget Drew Brees, we're riding Andrew Luck to the super bowl this year!!!"

big ben with a better arm

I really hope they put Harris and his banged up knee on our fastest receiver. That will be instant highlight reels.

[Bluefire4]

Who do you guys think will be on who. Talib on Nicks, Harris on TY? Wayne on the slot corner? That doesn't seem fair..

[Stephen]

it will be interesting i think roby's is their third corner so talib harris roby's ward and moore. hilton on talib nicks on harris wayne on the rookie fleener against moore and allen versus ward

[B~Town]

I think there will not be any will be set in stone our receivers will move around some making different matchups .

I hope Grigson and co are embarrassed by that pic

[NewEra]

Would love to see Bradshaw come in and run * like he did against SF.

[dizz]

If you guys aren't familiar with Chris Harris, he's a VERY talented DB who is coming off the same kind of injury as Reggie Wayne.  I hope they both come back from their major injuries without losing what makes them extraordinary.

 

Harris does have to take Luck's slipperiness into account.  Like Champ Bailey, Harris is exceptional at fortifying the Rushing Defense while covering.  He covers his guy but he keep his eye on the QB and peels off when his receiver is no longer a threat to catch.

 

He needs to be careful though not to forget his founding assignments.  Chris Harris was actually an undrafted free-agent and he's turned into one of the best nickel DB's in the NFL.

 

This is going to be one hell of a game. 

[SteelCityColt]

I hope Grigson and co are embarrassed by that pic

 

Sigh you have a drum and you know how to beat it...

 

Do you think then by the same token, John Schneider should be embarrassed by this?

Reminded how glad I am that we don't have Mcglynn..

Oh boy the "every CB is average" train is here

[Douzer]

So they're going to try to tackle Luck high instead of low.

 

Finally, we'll get to see Luck's under appreciated Heisman straight arm! Woo-Hoo!   :clap:  

[TKnight24]

Oh boy the "every CB is average" train is here

Not every CB, just a select few

There's some top flight CB's out there like

Haden

Peterson

Sherman

Vontae "Love Grandma" Davis

Etc Etc

[akcolt]

big ben with a better arm

And a faster better runner. People forget how fast the kid is and I don't think Pep utilizes it enough he ran a 4.67 40, That is as fast as Tipton. 

 

I am not going to dig in the cone drills and all that I am pretty sure most on the board realize Luck's athletic ability. 

[krunk]

Would love to see Bradshaw come in and run * like he did against SF.

 

That would just fire the whole offensive line up. Everyone enjoys blocking for  dude like that!

[1yrdandacloudofdust]

Sigh you have a drum and you know how to beat it...

Is Wilson the most hit qb in the league? Why do you guys defend grigson so much. Bring back Bill

[Fx Stryker]

How are you going to call Davis top flight and Harris average? Harris may not be as talented, but he certainly isn't Jekyll and Hyde each week.

I loved Bill Tobin.

The other person I was speaking with Supreme Coltfan I think was speaking highly of Harris and quoted some statistics.  I had remembered Harris as a nickel as well but I didn't delve into it much.  So the things Supreme Coltfan was speaking on were based off him covering people out of the slot which means you are not covering a #1 or #2 receiver.   Now that he's the #2 corner I want to see if all of those things remain true covering better receivers.   We'll see, but I don't remember much from Harris in last years game.  From some of the pictures I've seen on the internet I do think he played and wasn't injured at that point.  We'll find out because Luck isn't afraid to go after anybody!

[Gavin]

I agree with the part where he says he has to tackle the ball, It would be much easier then tackling Luck.

[krunk]

I know the stats may boost Vontae Davis up a little bit, but for my own personal criteria i would like to see Vontae become a little more consistent each week than he was last year.  I'm still waiting on that guy we had the first year who I enjoyed very much.

[TKnight24]

How are you going to call Davis top flight and Harris average? Harris may not be as talented, but he certainly isn't Jekyll and Hyde each week.

Cause our whole team is Jekyll & Hyde

We play like the SB champs against the top dogs

Then play like the Jags against other teams

[Qwiz]

I loved Bill Tobin.

Who the hell is Mel Kiper anyway?

That's actually Mewhort in the picture.  This was from the preseason game this year.

 

But yes, I agree.

Harris covered teams' number 1 WRs more often than Richard Sherman did last year, and allowed less TDs. Harris starts on the outside in 2 CB sets, and then bumps inside to play the slot in 3 CB sets. He's one of the bet CBs in the league, and he is very versatile.

[Warhorse]

Luck is a lot like Big Ben.....well, except for that bathroom stall thing. 

[John Dee]

I agree with the thinking, but I am not sure tackling Luck high is the right way to approach it.  We have seen many times where he shakes guys off that way. 

 

 

 

Let it happen to dude's fill...    Indy will accept EVERY SINGLE penalty on their way to VICTORY.

[John Dee]

Harris's comments are straight up comical. 

 

Think about it...    NFL rules protecting QB's?   Go get em "HIGH" ...  heheheehee

 

 

 

Oh the mentality of NFL players.    IF they could not run like a deer or be strong as a bull they would all be working at Mickey D's.

So they're going to try to tackle Luck high instead of low.

We put up over 30 plus points with rookie WRs and people like Darius Heyward Bey on the field in last years game.  Harris was on the field right?  I don't remember much of anything he did.  I do remember Rodgers Chromartie doing a good job on T. Y., but I don't remember Harris impact at all.  I do remember Denver having only 14 points for most of the game until our two starting corners left the game.  We are even better on offense this time around and Denver has made some improvements so we'll see.

[Fx Stryker]

Umm, what? Because he is the best of the Jekyll and Hyde group he is top flight cornerback?

 

TK, that honestly makes no sense.

[Blue Horseshoe]

Who do you guys think will be on who. Talib on Nicks, Harris on TY? Wayne on the slot corner? That doesn't seem fair..

 

I think Denver will play in nickel and dime most of the game since they have no reason to respect the Colt running game and they are going to get a lot of edge pressure from Ware and Miller.

[Papa-pwn]

I believe that to be true as well.

[krunk]

We will be able to get some things going with Trent, Bradshaw or Boom Herron against those nickel and dime looks.  Believe me we'll be able to find some things to get going.  

[Somewhere ovr the Waynebow]

He is treating Luck like Big Ben....and meanwhile Vontae Davis is treating Manning like Brady. No one knows who they are playing this week lol
