James Harrison back in the Burgh

[MISKO]

Steelers Place Jarvis Jones on Reserve/Injured; Designated for Return list, Sign LB James Harrison

He's getting up there in age BUT no question that dude can play defense...

With the heated topic of domestic violence going on in the NFL right now, I'm surprised the Steelers signed James considering his 2008 incident.

2008 ancient history .. yesterdays news ..

2008 ancient history .. yesterdays news ..

Not really considering Tomlin brought it up in today's press conference.

"I've discussed directly that climate change [in the NFL] with James," Tomlin said Tuesday at his weekly news conference. "But knowing James, he's grown a lot, and I don't anticipate that being an issue at all moving forward."
Climate change?? It was ok in 08 but not now?

its a nice way to say there is big time punishment for it now so dont do it ... or at least dont get caught

He's a pro's pro. Did a great job with the Bengals last year both as a player and as a mentor for their young LBs. I wish him well, except for two games on the schedule.....

No..... it's a way of saying "we're short on LB's so what you did then isn't as concerning as needing your help now."

All I'm saying is that it couldn't be worse timing for this. Once the fans start praising Harrison again when he steps onto the field, they're going to look like hypocrites because they bashed Rice and Baltimore fans.

Veteran move. He got out of having to go to training camp.

I'd say "Coach" Tomlin's pretty excited about this.

omg james has abused someone and been punished 6 years ago for it .. lets hang him from the tallest yard arm and then burn him at the steak... he needs to be punished again for his crimes .. how dare the nfl let him work again .. go home doors your sounding pretty pathetic with the troll attempt

"James Harrison has no place in the NFL after what he did" Michael Vick.

I like the move. He's a great tackler, great on the pass rush, and he knows the scheme.

its a good move cause of the injuries that we sustained against the panthers

As long as James can still play and hold his own, I am all for this move. He should be extremely pumped up and hopefully it shows on the field. I am amazed how hot/cold the Steeler defense is after seeing the Carolina game. Never know what to expect from week to week.

He was never punished by the league or the Steelers.

"Each incident must be considered on a case-by-case basis," team chairman Dan Rooney said in a statement to ESPN at the time. "In the situation with James Harrison, he contacted us immediately after his incident and has taken responsibility for his actions."



How is it a troll attempt when the league is in current turmoil on this very subject?

Sounds like most Steeler fans in regards to Ray Lewis.

lets punish everybody who haven't been punished years ago.

His signing reeks of desperation. Injuries must be piling up for the Steelers.
