[QUOTE="all about da packers, post: 203286, member: 227"] Because Harris isn't versatile. Meaning Harris can only excel when lined up on the outside, because (as Woodson said) Al Harris doesn't play nickel and he has problems when asked to go in motion with a WR. Guess what the Cowboys did? They lined TO close to the Slot WR, and had TO going in motion. With Woodson not playing against the Cowboys, I'm guessing Al was forced into playing TO when he was lined up in the slot, something Al doesn't do (if we are to believe Woodson) but was forced to in that game. I recall a key third down play near the end of the fourth quarter where Al was lined up over TO, and TO was in trips bunch in the Slot WR position. Al was over TO, but he let TO slip outside after attempting to press him a the line. I originally thought Al had a communication breakdown, but now I think it was intentional because Al was asked to play nickel back, which appears to be something he doesn't do. Do you know how hard it is to exploit that weakness? Manning was throwing the ball before Plax even broke his route, meaning that Plax hadn't even turned his head around when Manning let go of a pass intended for Burress. Burress came out of his route a fraction of a second before the ball was going to get to him, catching it before Al even had the chance to turn around. That requires amazing precision, and more importantly it requires the WR and QB to have impeccable timing. How many WRs and QBs do you think could pull that off? I'm guessing less than a handful, and that too on their best day. [/QUOTE]
