Macho Harris Must Secure The Football First

Harris runs to the play The Eagles are going to have to do something about Macho Harris and his kick returning.  He fumbled one kickoff return and it led to a Broncos touchdown, then he did it again and almost cost the Birds the game.

I know he got pounded by a Denver tackler on the first fumble but he needs to hold the football more securely.  He’s got to tuck it in tight and not have it hanging loosely.

On the second fumble, which Victor Abiamiri recovered, Harris was carrying the ball in his right hand even though he was near the sideline was to his left.  He had the ball exposed was again holding it loosely.

That’s not winning football to do that after having already fumbled away the lead.  I wouldn’t have any problem if he were running with two hands on the ball.

Harris looks at his fumble They’ve got to do something about it by not using Harris back there anymore and I don’t want to see them use DeSean Jackson or Jeremy Maclin because they’re too valuable.

Hopefully Quintin Demps will be activated nest week and hopefully they’ll use him to return kickoffs from now on.  Harris is too fumble-prone to be using with the season on the line.

I was upset at the unnecessary roughness penalty he got after Asante Samuel’s interception.  He said he wasn’t pounding the receiver as a tackler but he was blocking him after Samuel intercepted the ball.

“My focus was to block the intended receiver. Those guys normally make the tackle. I was just thinking about making that block,” Harris said. He said he didn’t see a replay of the penalty.

Harris penalty hit I thought it was a good explanation because I was ticked at him when it happened in the game.

That penalty cost the Eagles about 40 or 50 yards and backed them up inside the five yard line.

Add to that the fact that they were playing with a new center and it created problems which helped let the Broncos back in the game.
