Well, one is a devastating offensive force who is used in a myriad imaginative ways and keeps defensive coordinators up at night.

The other can't even get a carry in a 40+ point blowout.

Not arguing your point but Harris had 8 carries for 52 yards in the last game. That's 6.5 yd per carry. He looked really quick and I think he's earned some more opportunity. However, I'm not sure how capable he is in pass pro, which is absolutely essential for any RB in this offense. That may be holding him back. McCarthy put emphasis on wanting 3-down backs to maximize offensive flexibility and tempo. IF he can block a blitzing LB and he can catch the ball out of the backfield, I'd like to see him get a shot as the #2 back because he can really run.

Agreed. There is no comparison. How could there be. I can't even remember Harris's last carry.

I was getting pretty blurry by the fourth quarter of last Sunday too.

Maybe this is eluding to something MM has in mind? Might not be a bad idea. Get a different look. Gotta at least get the ball in his hands and see what he can do. Not saying pull lacy or starks but c'mon man give him a shot.

I think you mean "how YOU'RE going to get Harris touches". 'Your' is the possessive form...

Just busting YOUR chops!

I think he means "it's" not "its". The contraction for "it is" is "it's". The possessive of it is "its". That's a lot of t's and i's and s's for one post. I know where I'm going next

I have zero confidence in McCarthy to find creative ways to use Harris at all like teams have used Sproles in the past or how the Eagles use him now. He may not be as good or ellusive as Sproles is but we will probably never know because MM is clueless when it comes to using a player with his skill set.

Get the guy in space and he will do some damage, run draws, screens and jet sweeps with him. Put him and Lacy in the backfield or on the field at the same time.

I know for a fact that DuJuan can pass block so that shouldnt be a factor in his lack of usage in the offense.
