Walt Harris to the Pro Bowl

[SmootSmack]

Good for Harris. But also keep in mind he had 3 interceptions in one game....against Oakland

If you compared the 2005 seasons of Wright and Harris, and considered their age and contracts the rationale choice would have been to sign Wright for 2006. Unfortunately, rationality doesn't always work

Exactly my sentiments.

He had as good of a season as I have seen a corner have in a while. I think I saw him get beat like twice all season. The young Shawntae Spencer was our #1 guy coming in and he was the one who was actually getting thrown on and beat a considerable amont of plays. Harris shut down his guys for the most part all season. Glad to see he got in, his lack of name recognition was the only reason he was snubbed.

He had 8 ints and look at the other corners that had high ints.

Nnamdi asomugha 8
charles woodson 8
walt harris 8

I dont think it's all luck. I know you guys want to tell yourselfs that being that you started mike rumph (are you serious) for part of the year.

It's time to play everyones favorite game, "Which Player Doesn't Belong!!!" I'm your host GTripp, and now lets introduce you to our contestants today!

Seriously though, I think there is one player on that list thats very unlikely to be up there with those guys again. Two actually. Harris and Woodson.

On a completely unrelated note, welcome to the boards!

As a niner fan who lives in dc there is one thing I think we can all agree on................ Mike rumph sucks! Everyone here keeps talking about wright, when in reality you should be focusing on how the depth of wright and harris would have been nice so rumph would have never seen the field. From a guy that watched every niner game and a handful of redskins games, Walt Harris was by far the 49ers best db last year(not saying a whole lot) and you definately could have used him.

P.S. I dont want to be trolling too hard but thanks for the B lloyd trade!

Kenny Wright might have gotten 6 picks as the nickle in SF also. Walt Harris may have gotten 0 here. We don't know.

Ints aren't a good way to make an arguement that we should have kept the guy. Everybody and their grandma knows he wouldn't have gotten more than 2 Ints here.

To be honest his INT's aren't what impressed me. Most of them were thrown right to him.

What did impress me was basically everything else he did this season. He wasn't even thrown on all that much, and when they did he would make the play. I think he denied Torry Holt at least 3 TD's this year.
