Let me understand this

Detroit has a bad secondary and we are signing a CB off their practice squad?
perhaps our new nickel corner in time

They tried signing Richard Sherman but he was unavailable

Lions currently 5th in pass defense.

So...

Not being able to stay on the field necessitates an extra CB. I suppose this is the best we can do
He's

a good special teams player.

Probably because of their D line
He's  
Eric from BBI : Admin : 10/28/2014 6:51 pm : link
not really an ex-Lion...he's an ex-Jaguar.

The Jaguars drafted him in 2012 and cut him last August. The Lions signed him earlier this month.
Sounds like slot guy, special teams ace  
JohnF : 10/28/2014 7:00 pm : link
Here is his NFL combine stats: link. His Florida St. stats, also.

He's a Titan killer...in two games against them, he has a sack, INT, and returned a blocked punt for a TD against them. Might be an option on third down for edge blitzing.

Probably because of their D line [/quote]Maybe, but you don't become 5th best in yards by being bad players in the secondary. They're overachieving, maybe.

Is Harris better than Fenner is the bigger question. Hosley stinks, too.

You are bringing the stupid pretty strong in this thread.

ripdumaine : 10/28/2014 7:54 pm : link
Pretty good at FSU. He can hit decent coverage. Not an all pro but not a bum either
Can he tackle?

Good insight on him here.......

Maybe a find. Aaron Ross seemed to like him.

last week to give the guy one more full week to prepare? then again, the least amount of time he spends with Quinn, the better.
No

can't stop Mike Harris. You can't even hope to contain him.
We've done ok  
Joey in VA : 10/28/2014 11:21 pm : link
With DBs no one wanted or heard or, same with WRs. OL, LBs, not so much but whoever scouts DBs and WRs for this team is lights out.
I like the move  
SGMen : 10/29/2014 12:04 am : link
We could use another special teamer and CB with Cromartie hurting. Yes, it will take him time to learn the defense but specials isn't rocket science.
Anybody think we don't at least need more help on  
The Duke : 10/29/2014 3:03 am : link
special teams??? Didn't think so. If Harris can help us improve there than I'm all for him joining the team. Hopefully we can see what he can do as a CB next training camp.
Intel on Luck  
Irishvigor : 10/29/2014 3:25 am : link
Not that it will help much because Luck is superb and has a football and regular IQ of 180, but Mr. Harris could have some tips on playing Mr. Luck from his days in Jax facing Colts twice a year. I would have still rather had signed some LB with experience because have only 5 healthy at the position which includes a player that shouldn't see the field except on STs - #58.

RE: tackling - was a pretty decent HS wrestler. wrestling background has helped some football players become solid tacklers.
4.68 for the 40 yards

Wonder what miracles Quinn will conjur up.

TC prioritizing field position yet...  
Chris L. : 10/29/2014 5:24 pm : link
1) we trade to the Bronco's the kicker who puts the ball through the end zone on nearly every single kickoff, and 2) TC keeps year after year his special teams coordinator who has proven himself to be a liability
