The Truth About Rod Hood

LOL! Great video. I still think Harper is better. The guy was cut by 4 teams this off-season.
He's no hidden gem...believe it.

 

james harrison was cut four times, including the steelers. i'm not saying he's james harrison, in fact he isn't anywhere close, but he's better than harper.

 

You know what i saw while watching him? 3 ints. Whether he is lucky or not, i would rather have the guy who keeps getting lucky breaks than the guy not getting any at all.

 

Solving the coverage/decision/tackle abilities is easier then solving speed and ability to be near the play which is sometimes nature/age/injury related.

And Hood is faster then Harper.

So I'm sitll more in Hood's corner then Harper's for now.

Just the way I see it.

I will say that Harper is a better tackler by far. But he's a much weaker @ the cover IMO.

 

I don't think that anyone is 'in love' with Rod Hood as you suggest. I just think that when comparing him to Nick Harper, he's the clear choice. Nick Harper doesn't tackle, cover, stop the run, etc much better then Hood, but at least Hood doesn't get ran past and burned. Plus, the guy has three turnovers in three games, probably more then we had as a team before the bye. I still take him over Harper

 

I just preferred Hood over Harper for the fact that he has been on fire for the most part since he started. Regardless if the ints were lucky, he has the momentum going in, he's got the confidence while Harper was out injured and getting beat often. But if harper can improve his performance I back him. But the guy is 35 and hood is 27. Harper is heading towards retirement soon, hood is a good short term replacement.

 

You are talking About the same head coach that didn't want to play vince even after 0-6. I wouldn't let fishers lack of judgement get in the way of what everyone else sees on the field. Harper is done- he's bad. He makes rod hood look good. I'm not saying rod hood is great but he is better than what we got on the field.
