Chris Harris trade a year later

[Happy Panther]

Carolina's and Chicago's defenses were both on the field more than the offense.

TOP

Chicago - 29:31

Carolina - 27:24

Total Defensive Plays

Chicago - 1002

Carolina - 1060

These numbers aren't that different.

How many big plays were given up by Godfrey, and compare that to Harris? Let's not forget the physicality that Harris brought to the run defense as well, and Godfrey getting abused like a wife by Peyton Hillis

Godfrey was not the only player to get abused by Hillis. Hillis trucked guys twice the size of Godfrey all of last year.

While Godfrey did give up some big plays, people forget that Harris was forgettable the year before. How many "Highlight Hits" did he wiff on? Harris is a good safety but the difference between Harris and Godfrey and/or Martin is minimal.

I'd be willing to bet Harris got burnt his fair share too.

Well, I watched all of his highlight videos and in none of them did he get burned.

Speaking of this trade J Williams only tallied 2 tackles and only played in 3 games. Sounds like a lousy trade to me. But I guess he's depth.

We had the 5th most plays from the line of scrimmage. We certainly got a lot of opportunity to make plays. It tends to really help your defensive stats when your offense is 32nd in the league....jus sayin.

Harris is a player and a leader. FYI, if your safeties are making all those tackles, then your DLs and LBs are missing.....LOL

[SOJA]

I still miss Harris, he was a great guy and a heck of a player. Hate that the Bears got him back for next to nothing

Most "highlight videos" show GOOD highlights for a player. They aren't going to show bad plays or it would be called lowlights.

This argument will go both ways until this thread dies.

Wow, I never thought of that. Maybe I should re-think my position on the greatness of Richie Incognito. Which I had based on a 34 second YouTube clip and the coolness of his last name.

We were talking about this past year...

Wait, is this a serious thread? Chris Harris was selected as an All-Pro safety and was integral to the Bears run to the NFC Championship Game. Jamar Williams was an injured 6th-string linebacker. It was one of the most lobsided trades in the history of the team.

I hope jtm had just suffered a concussion when he posted this thread.

[OneBadassCat]

Didn't Jamar look pretty good in his playing time? I know he got hurt but still...

The trade was also about freeing up money and getting our young talent on the field(Martin and Godfrey). Godfrey has all the tools, his ceiling is much higher than Harris', and he is much faster. But Harris doesn't make many mental mistakes, and has a knack to make plays. Both are big hitters.
