FYI, there is no way on Earth that Scott is more talented than Harrison, but Scott may be closer to what the Browns envision as a 3rd RB and he may stick over Jerome.
Browns beat writer Tony Grossi gets frustrated when asked about the RB situation. He says the Browns are very happy with their threesome. Jerome Harrison's job is not in jeopardy.Above someone mentions Harrison's soft hands. If you followed him in college you know his nice catches as a rookie in preseason were a little surprising. He was never much of a receiver in college. He seemed to have okay hands but nothing special or what I would call soft. I believe in practice he's struggled a little with fumbles and catching the ball along with the more publicized pass blocking issues. I know they recently spent extra time after practice working on these things. Through all that his work ethic (participating in a brutal off season regimen with his GB Jamal Lewis), and his dynamic running skills guarantee him a roster spot for year three. I agree with the idea that should they ever need him, he will put up some nice numbers. He had no problem carrying a very heavy load in college. He is the type of back who gets stronger late in games. He literally wore out my Bruins defense and had many games over 30 carries. Beefed up and stronger, he seems like a carbon copy of Ray Rice. Almost identical skillsets and running styles.
Wow. Priest was a lot more explosive. Picture Priest expoding over the pile with a huge leap for a short yardage TD. Those hops indicated just how explosive and powerful he was. I like Harrison a lot but he's not like Priest -- more like your boy Ray Rice.
I cannot believe you have a myspace page. I love it. Esp. Tony ####### D. Just finished The Road, NCFOM and started Blood Meridian myself, LOL.
What I remember most about Harrison from Wash St is that he always seemed to make the best move possible on his runs. You would rewind the tape and see that he made the best decision possible, even if it was only a 3 yard gain. I know he's not a pile mover, but I keep thinking he will succeed in the NFL. Glad to know you two feel the same way.Browns beat writer Tony Grossi gets frustrated when asked about the RB situation. He says the Browns are very happy with their threesome.

I hate Scott and don't think he's that good of a football player and lacks the work ethic/desire to compete at this level. I am irritated he's being given a shot, just posting what I've been hearing/reading. If anyone we brought in for workouts was going to stick I was hoping it'd be Tony Temple.
Note: I meant more in style, not in level of athleticismWow. Priest was a lot more explosive. Picture Priest expoding over the pile with a huge leap for a short yardage TD.

Figured I'd put one up, why not
Sounds like what everyone said about Fargas, except the fine runner part. That is, until he became a fine running featured back.
Fargas can't stay healthy, I'd see similar problems with Harrison if he were ever relied upon as a feature back. Good for a few solid games, but not a long term option.
I guess if you live in a college town you have to act like a college kid....Figured I'd put one up, why not
Not sure reading Cormac McCarthy is considered college kid type of stuff LOL.I guess if you live in a college town you have to act like a college kid....Figured I'd put one up, why not

True
I don't think either is a long term solution. I don't even think Lewis is a long term solution, but he's good enough with this oline.
