Don’t Take the Physical Play out of Football
I hate that people are giving James Harrison a bad rap right now. James is one of the nicest guys I know, and I can’t stand the way he’s being perceived.
I don’t think James was out to hurt anyone against Cleveland. He was just playing football, and that’s how we do it. It’s a collision sport, you’re going to have collisions out there. A receiver might be 5-10, 165 pounds and run a 4.4 in the 40, but when he runs into James Harrison he’s going to be hurting.
Defensive players are taught to have an aggressive persona. Guys getting hurt can be a sticky situation, but it’s been going on since I first learned how to play football. That’s the way the game is played.
I hope and pray that James doesn’t retire. He’s a guy I look up to. You would think a guy who has been MVP and been to all those Pro Bowls all the time could just take it easy, but not this guy. He comes to work every day and he works hard every day. He takes nothing for granted. He’s in the gym constantly and always running extra sprints. He has an unbelievable work ethic and he loves the game...........
