What to do with Zo ?

BlitzburghRockCity · 03-10-2005, 12:54 PM

Alonzo Jackson has been an underachiever ever since we got him in the 2nd round from Ohio state. Yes, his playing time has been limited, but based on what he does in practice, and in his playing time he's gotten, he hasnt shown enough to unseat anybody for more playing time.

Harrison is a beast on the outside, and filled in great for Haggans for a few weeks last year, so he doesnt worry me, but Zo does.

I read not to long ago, that the Steelers were considering Harrison in the middle, thay said he would be another Bell, he fast and loves contact. But the Foote got a new contract so?????

clark haggans is very injury prone and and if harrison is moved to middle like u said, alonzo would give the steelers good depth and insurance. Him playing special teams isnt a bad idea either

Zo on special teams is OK w/ me..but starting him or even in a backup role scares me alittle. Every time he plays onthe defense, he's missing tackles, not wrapping the QB for a sack, etc. He better show us something this year in camp if he wants to make this roster w/ any significatn playing time or potential for playing time.

Just two years ago I thought Zo was our next all pro lb, then after Porter suspenion for beating the tar out of the brownies rb, in stepped harrison.

I think C&C thought he would be the 2nd coming to Lloyd or Greene as well. But turns out its Harrison who is the mean, beastly, strong as an ox type player they love, with speed to boot!

It doesn't really matter. His contract isn't till next year and his numbers are not that big that cutting him would hurt us. So he's better than nothing right now.
