It's Official: Chris Harris Confirms He is a Chicago Bear

Email
PrintChris Harris just texted me that he is indeed coming to Chicago. We've been on the wire the last couple of hours waiting confirmation, and now we got it. Harris originally broke the news via his Twitter account.
Headed to Carolina is LB Jamar Williams.
Urlacher, Peppers, Briggs, Tommie, Wright... and now Harris. How's that for an intimidating defense!
From Harris' Facebook account:
The deal is done. I'm now a member of the Chicago Bears. I'll be back here on Facebook a little later to tell you Carolina Panthers fans how much I love ya and you Bears fans how much I look forward to playing for you again.
Welcome back to Chicago Mr. Harris... it's been too long!

He traded this man away for less than he "paid" to get him back.
Theoretically. In summation, I concur.
If you can't laugh at yourself you must not be very funny.
He traded him away for more than he "paid" to draft him.

IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO FIRE LOVIE!
I expect no one will agree with me...
But I actually like Lovie as a head coach. The players respect him. The Bears have gotten a couple of raw deals at the end of games in the last two years that might otherwise have resulted in making the playoffs.
A two-part question:
1) If a couple of those games had gone differently and the Bears had made it to the post-season in any of those years, would there still be the calls to fire Lovie?
2) If they make the playoffs this year, do those calls disappear?
Except for the TO debacles
He’s horrible at time-management. With that said, the past three years his team has been talent deficient.
''I'm really not a Facebook or Twitter guy. I'm a prime rib and baked potato guy.'' - Sweet Lou
Im glad someone asked that question..
The past 2 seasons the Bears have had every opportunity to make the playoffs and didnt win the games they had to win…People blame Lovie but he didn’t instruct Cutler to throw a thousand picks in the redzone and many more outside of it. I don’t remember seeing him on the sideline telling defenders to miss tackles either….The players lost the games. Besides that he’s the only coach ive had the pleasure of watching lead the Bears to the Super Bowl other than Ditka…Im sure if the Bears fired Lovie and brought someone else in most people on here would bash him to after a while..it is what it is
The Lakers are reminding me of the "Tin Man"...
Absolutely
He definitely takes more criticism than warranted. This team the past three years has been somewhat talent deficient at key areas. Both safety positions, tackle, and the D-line. Like you said MC, he didn’t cause Cutler to throw 26 picks or allow WRs to walk all over our secondary. Did he have a say about the personnel on the team? Certainly. With Harris back in the fold and Wright drafted, the Bears can easily rebound and have a top 10 defense again. If, only if, Sizzle can cut back on the turnovers, the Bears will have a good chance at making the playoffs.
''I'm really not a Facebook or Twitter guy. I'm a prime rib and baked potato guy.'' - Sweet Lou
I like Lovie, as well.
…which is why I left him out of the equation above.

I got love for Lovie . Like EmmCeee said ...
…. Lovie got us to a Super Bowl and the last coach to do that was Da Coach , Da Legend Mike Ditka . Also great points on the players playing the games . Like you said he didn’t go to his players and say " Hey go miss some tackles and throw some picks " . For me I hope Lovie has a good season and keeps his job playoffs or not , as long as the team plays well .

I’m just not someone who believes that your coach has to foam at the mouth to be an effective motivator.

Um wouldn't it have been easier
To just have kept him the first time?

Its safe to say...
We loved Chris and wish him the best. We do have 2 young safeties we want to get on the field so it makes sense from that respect but still…he brought leadership that will be missed
He was set to start
before Briggs went nutzo two years ago. Couldn’t get him on the field but I think you’ll be happy.

He's best as a weakside LB

Whenever we had Jamar as a starting LB last year
he always led the team in tackles that day. He’s fast, plays extremely physical and has good instincts. He’s going to be a good player for you guys for a long time IMO.

Slated as Briggs replacement
a few years ago at the Will. He’ll be a solid starter for you guys, similar to what Harris will bring us at SS. He’s a tackling machine, better than average speed, and very athletic.

Chris Harris on ESPN 1000
- Didnt know he was going to get traded (both times). Was surprised when the panthers told him he was headed back
- (Still) Comfortable with the cover 2 since he played it when meeks came on board with the panthers
- No animosity for being traded by the Bears. Dad told him never burn bridges cause you never know. He knew it was just business
- Peppers will be great impact for the secondary it will make it easier on them with some of the bad passes QB can throw under pressure
- Have to work at creating turn over and not give up. Thats how he was able to create 13 FF in 3 years
- Great to be back. Sold his house at double the price when he left now getting it back cheaper than he sold it for so thats good for him as well
- He is ready play both FS and SS since those can be interchangeable sometimes in the Cover 2. Comfortable at SS (he will start at SS Wright at FS from what he was told)
- Heard Wright was pretty good and fast
- Cant wait to get back

Um. If I am reading this thread correctly.
He sold his house (once upon a trade) for twice what he originally paid for said house when he left as a Bear. Now that he is coming back to Chicago he is purchasing the SAME HOUSE for less than what he sold it for (AFTER SAID TRADE). This house has changed hands at least once since he owned it and has since purchased it again. Do I need a flow chart or perhaps some graphics?? Maybe a powerpoint presentation?
If you can't laugh at yourself you must not be very funny.

Chris Harris was a Bear when his college teammate (Kevin Payne) was drafted. Then, shortly after… they traded Harris away. Now, Harris is back, and Payne may be on his way out. LOL.

You're way too gloom and doom about the offensive line.
Kreutz not Krutez is going to play much better without the bone spurs that are rubbing on his achilles’ tendon. He’s a tough SOB, he’ll play good without that nagging pain. Garza is a solid RG and has shown that each season. Omiyale moving back to his natural position is a plus, he can’t be judged solely on how he played an unfamiliar position in a brand new offense. He even played well at LG towards the end of the season. C. Williams has shown that he is becoming worthy of that 1st round pick and I feel like he will continue to progress. LG is questionable. That’s the only thing that I am concerned about. But we could still address that in FA or we might be alright with Beekman. Who knows. But the rest of the line looks good to me and Tice will work his magic on these guys.

I personally like Beekman
He’s not an all-pro but he’s serviceable and can get the job done. In his first and only year starting, 2008, he started every game and only allowed 2.50 sacks. Not bad IMO.
Chevelle and Three Days Grace??? Fuc*ing AWESOME!!!
I think the Bears realize that they couldn't draft anyone better
than Beekman this year and decided to wait till next draft.
Bosh 2010!!!!!
Cant help it
its all a hear / read about “OH NOEZ THE O LINE SUCKS” ……
I do think that CWilliams is set at LT thought he played well towards the end of the season (even if Hampton and hub think he is already a bust because of the packer game and he needed 4 guys to help him with allen according to them)…..
Kreutz (or however you spell it) has been getting pushed back in some games even tripping up Cutler in the process….and had a hard time getting push in short yardage situations the past couple of seasons I thought anyways…..
Garza is OK but IMO he is around avg at best and he 2 seems to have a hard time getting push in run blocking….
I recall a stat with CWilliams at LT YPC on the left side was at 4.5. On the right for the whole season 2.3 or something like that stated during the lions game…..
Just to note Dickerson stated that Lance Louis was starting LG at offseason work outs……
I mean I am no scout or a GM this just IMO….Who knows maybe the line improves with the changes…..Guess we will see….

Manning back to nickel is the right move...I think.
He’s got the speed to cover the small, fast guys. He’s got the size to cover TE’s or big WRs. He never grabbed the FS spot even though he was given lots of opportunities. I argued he could be a good SS, but with Harris back, no need to move DM. Just make him the nickel and backup FS.

I'm sure the Bears will try and trade him, but if there's no takers,
the man’s got to play and play well if he’s going to have a future in the league. He’ll be an unrestricted free agent next year. That’s one heckuva motivator in the NFL.
by Mike Mueller on Apr 27, 2010 4:21 PM CDT up reply actions
Roster spots for defensive backs is 10.
CB (3): Tillman, Bowman, Jennings
FS (1): Wright
SS (1): Harris
Nickel/FS (1): Danieal Manning (unless he’s traded)
That’s 6 spots, need 4 more:
CB’s: Graham, Turenne, DJ Moore, Josh Moore. We probably keep 2 (maybe 3 because we kept 11 DB’s last season, but only 10 in 08 and 10 in 07.)
S: Bullocks, Steltz, Afalava, Payne, Q Scott. We probably keep 2.

True, I would put Graham there, but he seems to out of favor with the coaches.
Between Jennings & Graham, 1 will definitely stick, because all the other corners have no experience.
by Mike Mueller on Apr 27, 2010 4:26 PM CDT up reply actions
If what Angelo said recently has any baring
DJ Moore is done since he does not have size that Angelo said he now wants at CB…So it comes down to Graham (who the coaches did not seem fond of last season), Josh Moore (a recent draft pick), and Turenne (who the coaching staff seem to like so much so they “hid” in preseason last year)…..Note I do not think Jennings is a lock but we will see….
Angelo/Lovie almost always talks up Steltz when ever they can even if the fans do not like him, Afalava (a recent draft pick), Bullocks (who seems to struggle), Payne (according to Bear beat writers has fallen out of favor), and Scott…..
Should be interesting….

I think Afalava is a lock
given he came in last year, produced (most of the time), and can probably play both FS/SS. After that, it’s going to come down to camp competition
by PrincetonCubs on Apr 27, 2010 4:32 PM CDT up reply actions
Afalava is overrated
Al can not play FS! He is servicable at SS, but nothing to get excited about (other than the fact that he has a cool last name).
Afalava is a poor man’s Payne.
That being said, you might be able to get a 5th round pick for Payne. Nobody would trade us a pick for Al.
by MakeHalasProud on Apr 27, 2010 4:37 PM CDT up reply actions
I like Payne too
but I would disagree that AA can’t play FS; I think he was, to use your word, serviceable there last year. At the very least provides depth at both. Payne is more limited to SS, though I like him better there than AA. I think we’ll end up with both, w/ Steltz and Bullocks gone and Scott on IR.

Good I like Manning as a Nickel back
Now our Defense is complete..Get a guard or Louis proves to be the answer and We are gonna be a hard team to handle
The Lakers are reminding me of the "Tin Man"...
Hell Manning has never "earned" the FS spot.
Put him back a nickel and leave him be
excess SS, and Nickelbacks
Nickel is the only position (other than kick returner) that Manning ever played decent at. Though, we have Moore, Moore #2, and Jennings already competing for that spot.
Steltz and Afalava should be on the chopping block before Payne. I would add Bullocks to that list, but he’s our only other FS (to back-up Wright). Whoever is the odd man out, I hope we’re at least able to get something in return for him.
Why would you cut Afalva
Dude came in as a rookie last year and won a starting spot and played all season. He didn’t stand out and didn’t make plays but he didn’t really screw up either. He’s only going into his second year. It would be crazy to cut him now, he’s just learning how to play in the NFL. Geeze.
You mean crazy like...
Getting rid of your starting RB for a swapping of 2nd round picks, or like letting your Defensive Coordinator go after his unit was highly ranked for 2 straight seasons? Or crazy like moving a player from position to position so he can never settle in and learn at one, or making two DB’s convert to WR’s?

Steltzalavapayne
Meh. I really don’t see that much difference in which one we keep. Assuming Wright and Harris are our starters, it’s going to come down to which of them can contribute more on ST.
Steltz probably has the advantage there at this point. Afalava may be a potential ST contributor— we don’t know because he started all year last year and didn’t get a chance to really show us much on ST. He also has the benefit of youth on his side.
Payne is obviously a WCG favorite, for good reason. But he hasn’t blown anyone away either on the field (no offense Kev if you’re reading this.)
Good Deal
One of the missing componants from our Defense. If we have our Defensive backfield shored up along with more pressure on the edge we should be a major contender. Aaron Rodgers and Brett Favre have their work cut out for them.

2008
When Payne had a chance to play all 16 games in 2008 (12 @ SS, 4 @ FS), he had 88 tackles, 4 picks, and 147 yards of INT returns.
Afalava started 13 games last year, but had only 53 tackles and 0 INTs.
Al is a decent tackler, but he won’t run anybody down, and won’t produce many big plays.
Both are better than Steltz though.
like I said above
I like them both. KP is potentially a very good in the box safety, got comped to Donovin Darius a lot coming out of the draft, good runstopper/blitzing-type safety. He’s not a cover FS, however… AA isn’t really either, but he has better speed than Payne, and if it comes down to 1 spot, AA is younger and I think he could be better flexible depth for both positions. That said, both guys are sick athletes, and I’d rather have both of them.
and yes, both are def better than Steltz

that’s it. Honestly, I’d just rather only need one kick-off return per game if you get my meaning. We agree that he has value, but I hope that value is as a trade for a player the Bears can use. Hester, Knox, and Bennett can run back kicks and play their respective positions.
IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO FIRE LOVIE!
Glad to have him back
He was a favorite of mine. We’re getting the band back together! Our defense is actually starting to look fearsome again.

Money wasn't an issue
The problem is Faneca is no longer a good pass blocker. This is definitely a prerequisite playing in Martz’s pass-happy offense. Overall, he was rated 67th out of 84 guards in the entire NFL. Good comparison? Omiyale was rated 62nd. Beekman at 43rd. I think the Bears made the right choice.

Fundamental Flaw
In attempts to illicit a big hit, Harris lowers his head and lunges resulting in missed tackles. He may have fixed this in Carolina, but til I see proof I’m indifferent toward this trade.

A Question phastphil
Compared to what you had at Safety last season do you not consider this trade an upgrade?
Like I Said
I’m indifferent toward Harris now just as I was when he was traded away. When the Bears traded him I believe there was some fundamental flaws in his game . I really hope he’s improved believe me. I wish the Bears had Troy Polamalu playing safety for them, but it ain’t gonna happen. Yes this is an slight improvement. But I’m disappointed in the Bears management’s efforts toward signing a veteran free agent safety. Drafting Major Wright was a step in the right direction, but since Mike Brown was injured their efforts at replacing him have sucked.
