Pittsburgh Steelers Pro Bowl linebacker James Harrison provided plenty of material Wednesday. So as we continue to dissect his bashing of various targets, here are some additional thoughts:
- Steelers safety Ryan Clark mostly deflected Harrison’s comments via Twitter Wednesday by saying, “Locker room stuff gets handle in the locker room not twitter.” Clark also said the Steelers’ players knows Harrison speaks his mind, no matter the topic.
- Â NFC North colleague Kevin Seifert astutely pointed out that Harrison had just one tackle in Pittsburgh’s Super Bowl XLV loss to the Green Bay Packers. Harrison wasn’t a factor in the game, but criticized both Mendenhall and Steleers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger for his performances. Vote here if you think that’s justified or out of bounds.
- Harrison’s comments that the New England Patriots were stealing the Steelers’ signals in a 2004 playoff game are interesting. It’s well-documented that New England, and particularly quarterback Tom Brady, has been dominant against the Steelers post-Spygate. That most recently includes a 39-26 thrashing of the Steelers last season in Heinz Field. With Brady under center, the Patriots are 4-0 against the Steelers since 2004.
