Arnold_Palmer Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 We’ll see how it works out. Hate to see Harris go. He’s a great guy, great player, fantastic competitor. But at 35 years old and 11 years of a heavy work load.. you would have to think 2021 is a good indicator of how 2022 is going to go health wise. He literally couldn’t practise this year. I wish him all the luck in the world but I think if they go that route they better be prepared to see a lot of Kiernen Lafrance in the back field.

Geebrr Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 I think any talk of the Riders is mostly to drive up the price elsewhere. I truly cannot see him going there. Bigblue204 and rebusrankin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder when the PED Harris posts will start here If he goes over one province. not diminishing anything....he did a lot here...but any back will struggle with a crap o-line, and same thing would be said if he went back to vancouver...or to edmonton...3 teams with poor olines...dont try to spin this into a narrative that anyone is attacking cause he may be a Rider...and if anyone on here was more supportive of Harris....especially with the ped allegations than me....point me to them..I was the one with facts on the substance...why it isnt a choice in season for a football player....let alone a skilled position player...based on my knowledge and experience with the stuff when I played...gimme a break dude And "if" we resigned him I would have said hopefully its in a rotation/limited role to preserve him....not a slight of any kind..just the facts for a 35 yr old RB....He was lucky here last 2 seasons running behind a line that allowed him 80 percent of time to get to second level untouched...wont happen in Green....

Geebrr Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 It makes the most sense for Harris and BC. Someone also mentioned Irons is from BC and a FA. If he has to leave.

JCon Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 If AH ends up in Saskatchewan, he's going to be reminded really quickly that a good oline is key. I wonder how Maas would fit him in? I guess catching lots of dink and dunks from CoFaj. Bigblue204 and Noeller 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see why the Elks would be interested in Harris at all,, they've re-signed Wilder and they already have the little buzz-bomb Walter Fletcher under contract for another year, which gives them a very strong backfield. johnzo and Bigblue204 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are wishing for karmic payback, remember that the botched Durant move freed up the cash to pick up Adam Bighill in the end.

HardCoreBlue Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 I don’t know but the only place I could maybe stomach AH going would be Ottawa. He needs to retire a Blue Bomber. C’mon MO give him a coaching job with tons of room for growth up the ladder. But he’s an athlete and a competitor and probably still wants to play.

When our Oline started to come together, Harris took off. It really does need to be both, not one or the other...unless you have a guy like Charles Roberts Harris’ 2016 season was pretty stellar. Only a 3 game injury, and not the o-line, kept him from the rushing title, and he got more touches as a receiver those first two years, which would also keep his running numbers down. You are right that both elements are important, but Harris should not be viewed as being the beneficiary of a good line and otherwise only so-so, IMO.
