Harris did/does 2 thing well. Coming forward in pressures. And he can run.But considering the fact that in 3 years he completely refused to take on blocks head up,stone and destroy blocks with techniques offered to him to get that done.And the fact that he dropped his head and ran around blocks,and used the old "Ole" shed technique more than any major college LB I have ever seen? Along with Billingsley and his "Schtick" ?I cant believe the 2 were out there playing the reps they were.It is unbelievable.
They may miss him in the locker room. They may miss him as far as leadership goes. I do not know.But I do know they wont miss his play on the field,although I do admit he was somewhat better late this past season.He better get a hell of lot more physical starting now or he will get blasted off your TV screen by those nastys on the next level.Nobody plays ILB in the NFL now or ever that runs around blocks and shies away from contact.
I wish him well.But there is a HUGE difference,lets say,between a CHarris and a Nakobe Dean,or the many Hammers The Tide have had through the years playing the Mike and/or the Will LBs.Alabama will have at least 3 young men itching at the bit to play and competing for those inside LB spots.I believe in addition by subtraction,as far as Harris,Billingsley,and Jobe goes.Roll Tide!!!
