BurnleyJet Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 He signing with the Pats to get a ring, that really grates with me. Harris was a very good if not unspectacular Jet. He made some money here to. The Pats thing has tainted Harris for me, if I had a choice I'd never let him in the ring of honour Ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerfish Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 One of the only players in the draft ever that I really wanted and mocked to the jets that we actually picked. Most times i end up disappointed by round 3 but I really liked Harris and was elated that we went and got him. Good player for a lot of years. (I still can't forgive him for not scoring after picking off brady in the playoffs though.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention, where was his leadership when we needed it the most? Pittsburgh. January 2011. The 11-5 Jets have just upset the Patriots in Foxboro to get back to the AFC Championship Game and are 60 minutes from the Super Bowl. After the collapsed 10 point lead in the same game the year before you'd think our defense would be spitting blood to get another chance at the Big Game. But, no, the defense doesn't get off the bus. Because there's no leader on that D like Lawrence Taylor or Ray Lewis to get the guys fired up and passionate. That D played that first half like it was a preseason game. It's unforgivable. And I hold Black Pennington responsible above all others. David Harris. What a joke. I'll be sitting down looking at my iPhone watching his no-show in Pittsburgh when the Jets dedicate some teary-eyed pregame ceremony in his honor.

Our entire D was shredded, they all deserve blame along w/ Rex but yeah the enduring image is Scott being carried into the EZ. The Pats win was an emotional one but there's no excuse coming out flat a week later w/ a SB trip on the line. That game gets worse and worse w/ each passing year, at the time we thought we'd have more chances but looking back 7 years later and we haven't even played another playoff game it really sucks.

A bedroom full of posters from loserville. SAR I LOL! How did Rusty Staub get in your list? The guy was a terrific PH for the Mets. I remember he hit a big pinch-HR late in the game that on Old Timers Day that the umps decided was foul. It felt like it would've been one of those too-good-to-be-true moments (as Rusty felt like he WAS an old-timer). Then later in the AB (I feel like 2 pitches later), he did hit a HR and the Shea crowd went nuts. And fwiw, I don't really agree with putting David Harris on here either. David Wright was overrated though. Not saying he was a bad player but there was an aura about him as if he was the Mets' version of Jeter (or something along those lines) and he clearly wasn't! I never felt like he was any good in the clutch. And since we're talking Mets, I feel compelled to repeat the famous Ralph Kiner malaprop "And on this Father's Day, we wish you all a happy birthday!"

Patriot Killa Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 https://www.google.com/amp/s/nypost.com/2018/02/24/rex-ryans-leader-david-harris-retires-after-11-season-in-nfl/amp/ Rex Ryan’s ‘leader’ David Harris retires after 11 season in NFL Rex Ryan was the defensive coordinator of the Ravens in 2007 when David Harris was coming out of Michigan. Ryan loved what he saw from the linebacker and told general manager Ozzie Newsome the Ravens should draft him. “We had a pretty good linebacker in Ray Lewis,” Ryan said Friday by telephone. “Ozzie was like, ‘We can’t take him Rex.’ because I was bragging about him. I said I’ll start him at SAM linebacker. We’ll play a 4-3. I was going to change my defense just to get David Harris.” The Jets beat the Ravens to it, trading up to draft Harris in the second round. Two years later, Ryan became the Jets’ coach and said he decided when he arrived he would build his defense around Harris and cornerback Darrelle Revis. “I looked out there and I was proud that he was my middle linebacker,” Ryan said. Harris retired Friday after an 11-year NFL career spent mostly in a Jets uniform. He spent last season with the Patriots after the Jets cut him this past June in an unpopular move with nearly everyone in the Jets organization. Harris, 34, retired in the understated way he always handled everything off the field. His agent released a statement announcing his decision. “After 11 years of having played the greatest team sport at its highest level, it’s now time for me to announce my retirement from the NFL,” Harris wrote in a statement released by Sportstars, Harris was a mainstay in the middle of the Jets’ defense for a decade, including the two teams that reached the AFC Championship under Ryan in 2009 and 2010. He made 121 consecutive starts and missed just one game between 2009 and 2016. He played 154 total games for the Jets and is second in franchise history with 1,260 tackles, according to the team. “He was such a damn leader for us,” Ryan said. “He was such a tough-ass guy, dependable, durable. He was such an underrated player.This guy was a freaking great player — a tackling machine.” The quiet Harris was universally respected in the Jets’ building. Players and coaches attend his charity golf tournament every spring, a sign of their feelings for him. Those feelings also showed last spring when the Jets cut him and many were bothered by the business move. He signed with the Patriots a few weeks later, but only played in 10 games for New England. He was inactive throughout the playoffs, including the Super Bowl. “That was bulls–t,” Ryan said. “He was a Jet. I hated to see him go to New England. I really did. Sometimes that’s what happens.” Ryan said he and Harris shared a special bond. When Ryan was fired after the 2014 season, he held one final team meeting the day after the season ended. Instead of speaking, Ryan thanked his players, put on a tape of highlights from his six seasons as coach and then left the room, hoping not to get emotional. “I put the tape on and I went flying out of the room,” Ryan said. “There was one player that went out with me.” Harris and the coach shared an emotional goodbye. “I was pissed at him. God dang it David, I was going to make it out of there without bawling, but I never quite made it,” Ryan said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
