[QUOTE="all about da packers, post: 221226, member: 227"] First time Al faced Plaxico in week 2, he held Plax to 2 catches for 32 yards. As for the TO thing, it was stated in an article a while back that TO's production wasn't entirely Harris' fault. The article pointed out how the Cowboys had TO lining up in the slot, and since Harris doesn't play nickel CB at all (as C-Wood pointed out), what ended up happening was Harris applied the jam at the LOS and then let TO drop off to be picked up by someone like Nick Collins/Jarret Bush/etc. When the defenders switched, Harris ended up covering the underneath WRs and that's why a lot of the time it looked like the Packers were playing zone coverage when they weren't. I really think not having Woodson vs the Cowboys hurt more than anyone has acknowledged. Woodson is someone that can stay on a WR even if the WR goes in motion and lines up in the slot. You can't blame Harris fully for the TO thing. When TO was lined up man to man, like the first play of that Cowboys game, then Harris could handle him IMO (as he showed by ripping the ball from TO in what should have been an INT). The problem began when the Boys used TO in motion, and there was no C-Wood to serve as cover for such a situation. That's not to say that Al doesn't deserve any blame for his performance against the Cowboys, but you have to look at the context of Al's play and be fair about the blame IMO. [/QUOTE]
