Before the season, I pegged running back Jerome Harrison as a statue for the Browns this year, and he's pretty easy to live down to my expectations. On the other hand, I think Mike Bell could be a real sleep in Philly, and I was wrong. Bell stunk, and LeSean McCoy has been very impressive so far.
At some level this trade makes sense, but overall, I do not see the point. Of course my wife will tell you that I never get the point, so there ya go ...
In Cleveland, Browns rediscovered relied upon in the unlikely breakthrough former Denver Broncos,
Peyton Hillis. They still have Montario Hardesty for 2011, and James Davis is still with the team. Harrison has been satisfied with a touch since the start of the season, and the smaller role of each game. So let him go did not hurt the team a lot, although flashing the talent he showed in 2009.
However, Mike Bell did not add much to the team, as he and Hillis are similar backs. Second is the kind of powerful hole punches bruise. It remains to be seen how he will use in the future.
In Philadelphia, Eagles McCoy has seen blossom into a more than adequate replacement for Brian Westbrook. His style is similar and works very well on crimes coach Andy Reid. McCoy performance against the 49ers with a cracked rib means his job is safe and the respect of his teammates have been well received. So where suitable Harrison in this plan? He is the type of runner similar to McCoy, but is rarely used in pass-catching role.
One thought is that the injury to McCoy may be worse than letting Reid, and the team have found themselves starting potential successor must McCoy miss serious time.
Of course, the image of McCoy, Harrison, DeSean Jackson, Jeremy Maclin, Brent Celek and Mike Vick on the field all at once to give an absolute perfect opponent's defense.
Whereas Bell use only the remnants of the traits that most in the league, if Harrison had become available in your league, he deserves the bench for now until we see how he would use with McCoy, or if he will be subbing for the banged up sophomore.
