solid pickup

Good choice.

Nice pickup. Not great but better than Balmer, Hayden, Irvin.

Maybe the weight problem put him in the doghouse. That problem can be fixed in a few weeks.

[Zod]

A former third-round pick, Harrison has struggled in the past to maintain the team's prescribed weight for him. Harrison reported to camp 14 pounds overweight in 2009, and it took four days of conditioning for the defensive tackle to shed enough weight for the staff to allow him back on the field.

"Marcus hasn't passed his physical," coach Lovie Smith said last week. "We're trying to get him in condition to go through one of our practices. We'll just keep monitoring him and see when he'll be ready to go."

I thought this guy could be our guy considering his history with Ron Rivera @ the bears. I read some great info on the guy yesterday on espn.

Espn said that he missed a lot of training camp and that's where he lost his job. He said he played better in the preseason and had three great games. Either way I see this guy as an upgrade over Irvin and Hayden and more potential.

This can't be right

[GritsRgreat]

Mostly a backup but was a starter due to injuries.
