Nick Harper in the Tennessean

"I would be lying if I said it didn't hurt, it didn't bother me," the ninth-year pro (Nick Harper) said. "There were plays that I know I kept it out of the way because it was hurting. I know some guys were going after it intentionally. So I was trying to protect myself as well as make plays."

Great... so this guy was playing hurt, knowing that he wasn't 100%, keeping his arm out of the way to protect himself and screw the team down the stretch trying to get to the playoffs.

Awesome. Thanks Nick Harper. Still the coach's fault to leave him in there when it was obvious.. not saying Rod Hood was the answer.. but Nick Harper wasn't.

So how was Hood in the game?

No better than Harper…

How was he better?

The Seahawks kept throwing to Hood’s side of the field and he kept missing tackles.

not worse...

but certainly not what we need at the spot. Granted.. the seahawks aren’t exactly as good as some of the passing attacks we have seen recently so nick harper has looked really bad there… but hood did miss tackles and play out of position on run plays yesterday.

maybe we’ll get a decent free agent or draftee or (gasp) have someone step up that is currently on the roster…
