His tackle numbers have been great so far... He's had 13 assists as well so far in 2 home games (just 2 in their lone away game), which makes me think that whoever tallies tackle/assists for the Pats is likely very generous.

Can we expect this to continue? Can any Pats homers and/or Jene chime in on how he's being used... Is he an every down player still? Is he basically being used as an extra LB?

He's definitely an every-down player and he is being used in the box as much as he ever was, which is a little unexpected given the struggles in the secondary.

This isn't a three week fluke. Harrison put up 57 solos in ten weeks (including the playoffs) down the stretch last season and, when healthy, has nearly always been a monster for Belichick. The "when healthy" caveat is a significant one for Harrison, though, as he's a sizable injury risk at his age and with his style of play. Enjoy it while it lasts and hope that he'll still be productive late in the year.
