Who knew an edge rushing 3-4 OLB wouldn't translate well into a 4-3 D...Oh that's right, The Bengals...Who had a "competent LB coach".     It's James fault though.

I think they eventually started rotating him in on the D line too. He didn't make a whole lot of plays there either. I think his rebound from 2014 - present does in fact suggest that it wasn't Harrison's fault that the Bengals got next to nothing out of him though.

Most players play better on winning teams!

So, technically, if Harrison goes in, you'll have another HoFer.  But, he'll be a guy mostly known for playing for your biggest and most hated rival.  Seems par for the course for what Bengal fans have been through over the years, doesn't it? 

Charlie Joyner is in and he had more than a cup of coffee with the Bengals. 

That will give us 3.

That was a 4th down stop and yes he did have a TD called back too. Almost forgot about that one.

He wasn't on the juice while he was here. 

Homey don't play that...

He completed Burfict's training in being an outright animal.
Double-edged sword, I know.
He changed many peoples attitudes, made them meaner.
I think that wore off, this past year.
My favorite moment was him putting Gruden in his place, when Gruden gave him crap about hitting Green and other star players.
I wanted him to outright tear Gruden limb from limb.
I disliked Gruden, very much.

In all honesty, I was kinda stoked when they signed Harrison... It can't be coincidence that Manny Lawson, James Harrison, AJ Hawk, Karlos Dansby, and Emanuel Lamur ( I get it Lamur sucked) have all been pedestrian at SAM for the Bengals... Can it?

I want the bengals to have an offer ready for Harrison has a strength and conditioning coach.

Or you could just hire his pharmacist.
