very hard for me to watch<\/a> the Cardinals\u2019 offense,\u201d Harrison Sr. told Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com. \u201cAnd you can quote me on that.\u201d<\/p>\nHarrison Sr. had plenty more to say. We suggest reading the entire article.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe style of offense that I am accustomed to, that I\u2019m used to watching as a professional eye, as a wide receiver,\u201d Harrison Sr. said. \u201cI just can\u2019t relate to watching that [current] offense, that style of offense. Basically, I can\u2019t relate to what goes on there.\u201d<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t name names. (Does he really have to?)<\/p>\n
\u201cI think that\u2019s just peacefully put, without pointing fingers or anything,\u201d Harrison Sr. said. \u201cIt\u2019s just me. I\u2019m giving you the professional eye. I can\u2019t relate to it. It don\u2019t add up to me. I can\u2019t deal with it.\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s gotten to the point where he doesn\u2019t even bother to share his opinions with his son.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t get into what goes on the field and the things that I see,\u201d Harrison Sr. said. \u201cI just leave it alone. I don\u2019t even bother bringing it up no more. . . . It takes a lot of self-restraint and duct tape. I got to close my mouth and just don\u2019t say nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Harrison Sr. landed in a great spot, drafted by the Colts two years before quarterback Peyton Manning arrived. And Harrison Sr. realizes the connection between having a quarterback like Manning in Indianapolis and earning a bronze bust in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat I do know is you can put Marvin Harrison Sr., in my prime, in Arizona right now, and guess what happened?\u201d he said. \u201cCanton, Ohio, is going to send me a prepaid envelope and say, \u2018Could you please send that jacket back?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a strong indictment of the Cardinals, and of everyone responsible for the team\u2019s current offense . It also invites fair speculation as to whether, absent significant changes, Harrison Jr. will look for a way to a team with a better offense and a potential Hall of Fame quarterback.<\/p>\n
