The Game that Made James Harrison Famous! (Ravens vs. Steelers 2007, Week 9)

You missed a couple other facts. He was cut by the steelers his first two years. It wasnt the scouts fault. He said himself he wasnt coachable and made too many mental mistakes because of it.

[@JCP405]

Brian Billick and the ‘07 Ravens never recovered after this loss. Their only win for the rest of the year being against these Steelers resting their starters in the final week of the season. Then again their 4 wins in their 4-2 start were against the Rams, Cardinals, and 49ers when the NFC West was the worst division in the NFL in the late 2000s and a Jets team without Chad Pennington. Then they got to the hard part of their schedule against teams like the Colts, Chargers, and Patriots.

[@BigRob-FormerlyMrSlim]

If they had any gas left in the tank, they used it against the Patriots where they had them beat basically three times but still lost. They were just flat and had nothing left to play for after that game for the remainder of the season. Despite like you said beating the Steelers in week 17, they finished with a 5-11 record and it was the end of Air McNair’s career it was also the end of the Billick era for the Ravens. And it was the last time the Ravens saw Kyle Boller starting a regular season game.

[@chrisuncleahmad]

[@supratrd900]

One thing that comes to mind for me is how would today's QB talent like Mahomes, Allen, Burrow, Dak, Hurts, Herbert, Jackson would have done against these Pittsburgh Steelers defense and Baltimore Ravens D. You can even throw the 2013 Seahawks and 2015 Broncos in there as none of those guys have face a defense equal to those teams yet in their careers. My favorite memory of James Harrison was when he slam a fan to the ground. I believe the game took place against the Browns.

[@jennyanydots2389]

They'd do significantly better most likely. Even compared to just 5 years ago the average draft pick is slightly faster and slightly stronger. The average player is bigger and stronger... Players like Ray Lewis wouldn't have a size, speed or strength advantage today... they'd all probably not even have been drafted... probably washing cars or doing tricks as a homeless man for drugs.

@@JFed4 I know he's from Akron, it's why I made the OBVIOUS joke. And no, he doesn't belong in the Hall.... he's a very good player... not an all time great. He might get in through the senior's committee down the road because of fan based nostalgia but he was never a generational talent or put up generational numbers. If Hines Ward can't get into te HOF James Harrison shouldn't even be mentioned. He had a five year run of pro bowl level success and then spent the rest of his career in the land of average, not even a starter half the time. 5 good years out of 16? Yeah... that's not a legit HOF career.

[@joshuawilliams7653]

@Jenny Anydots HE should go, deserves to go, and will go. He's the defensive version of Kurt Warner. In my opinion you can't put Warner in and not Harrison. Both were Undrafted, from a small school, late bloomers, who had a stretch where they were considered among the best at their position. Kurt Warners' overall career numbers (much like Harrisons) aren't eye-popping and Warner also was only good for a stretch, but it's the accomplishments and the story. Warner went from undrafted to 4 time pro bowler, 2 time 1st team all pro, 2 time league MVP, SB champion, and SB MVP. Harrison went from undrafted to being a 5 time pro bowler, 2 time 1st team all pro, Defensive Player of The Year, 2 time SB Champion, and all time sack leader for one of the most legendary franchises in football. He will find himself in the Hall of Fame. I don't think first ballot, but he won't wait like 20 years. We remember how much of a beast he was for a 5-7 year stretch and to beast and among the best in the NFL even for 5-7 years says a lot. Terrell Davis had a shortened career due to injury but his 7 years couldn't be ignored. Hines Ward was just caught up in a log jam at WR but I believe he'll Ultimately get in also.

[@jennyanydots2389]

@@joshuawilliams7653 That's not a valid comparison. Kurt Warner was a generational talent with a storybook career at the hardest position in the sport... one of the highest-rated of all time... guiding two different teams to the super bowl. Harrison was a very good outside linebacker that had a few superb seasons in the middle of just a pretty good career exaggerated by that one interception in the SB off Warner.... he ranks around 63rd in sacks all time. They are not at all the same kind of player in any sense. Comparing a QB to a LB doesn't make sense fundamentally in any context to begin with.

If I’m not mistaken, this is the game where one of the announcers said at the half that the ravens would have to do something different in the second half, and Tony Kornheiser said what can they do differently besides leave the stadium! Classic! One of the ravens’ players said following the game, they let that little 5’7” midget in the game. We’ll never see him again. Speaking of Harrison. As for James Harrison, imagine being thought of so highly they let Joey Porter walk?

[@Ginga]

As a Ravens fan, this was the nadir of a depression season. Battered at Heinz field, Steelers legends laughing on the sidelines, the offense looking like the worst in the league. Harrison was ridiculous though. When he forced the fumble on Ed, I just had to admire how sweet a tackle it was.

[@quiroga65]

James Harrison: a true legend. This was the beginning and then there was his Immaculate Interception. One of the very best players and one of the very best plays. On the other hand... That was the last of the Steelers dynasty team. As of 2023, we have T J Watt in place of James Harrison, if you will. But, in 2023, there is not at all a Steeler offensive that would be even close to what Big Ben did after those big defense plays. Right now, the Steelers are lucky if they get 3 points in the red zone, if they ever reach that far. They have to improve and fast, otherwise the Steelers dynasty will be just something to remember. We are being beaten by 2 wins teams way past half season.

[@vasantos-re4hb]

I am delivering a sermon to you 🙏😊 please read Consistently Pray for forgiveness, guidance in a good (positive) direction, and for help against evil. Pray to be saved from hell (whatever that may be). Pray for your friends and your family too, it only takes a minute or so/less at a time to pray. Do it and your life will slowly get better, or maybe quickly. It probably just depends on you and the kind of person you are/have been. Don't wait until its too late and you have to suffer the consequences of built up bad karma from immoral acts/unrepented sins. Maybe together we can help make the world a better place by changing ourselves for the better, and changing things around us for the better. And addressing/thanking the CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE, LORD GOD at the beginning and end of your prayers would be a good idea. Be my friend and I will pray for you, but I do not know how much help me doing so will give you. You should try to practice daily prayer yourself. I'm trying to help you get right with the LORD 🙏 Amen. I have worded a short prayer for you to say if you are not sure what words to use, it may not be the best but here it is 😊 '' CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE, LORD GOD, Please forgive me and my friends and my family for our immoral acts, please help guide us in a positive direction and please help us against evil. Please save us from Hell and have mercy on our souls. Thank you for everything CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE, LORD GOD. Amen. '' Please say this at least once a day for at least a month, do it longer if you want to and can 🙏🙏🙏 You should prostrate yourself if you don't want to do spoken prayer, or do both 🙏😊🙏 Please worship the LORD GOD and not any idol. Please put your hands together 🙏 bow your head and say this prayer: "CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE, LORD GOD, please know that I worship you and not any idols. Thank you for everything CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE, LORD GOD. Amen" Say ' Om Namah Shivaya ' or ' Om Namo Bhagavate Rudraya ' out loud or in your head 108 times, or try to do it 1008 times 😊 try to do it everyday if you want repeat this aloud for as long as you want to, try to do it for like an hour a day or say it in a prayer "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner" You can also say this prayer once a day or repeat it aloud as many times as you would like to: "Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death, Amen." Thessalonians 5:16-18 "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." Philippians 4:6-7 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." "O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fount of mercy for us, I trust in You!" Repeat this aloud at least 3 times or as many as you want, do it everyday if you can I apologize for all the words 😊 I know how it may look If you can't remember the words to any prayer, pray the words as you read them
