HigSkin Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Height: 6-0 Weight: 200 Age: 24 Born: 2/16/1986 Richmond , VA College: Virginia Tech Experience: 2nd season High School: Highland Springs HS [VA] 2009 = 41 tackles Scouting Report: Strengths: Good NFL ready size...shows good quickness, both in the passing game and as a blitzer...good awareness on the field...demonstrated great ball skills...more than willing to get physical with receivers...offers special teams value...experienced and productive player...willing in run support and can deliver a big hit...a playmaker... Weaknesses: Does not possess ideal long speed...too aggressive both as a tackler and in pass coverage...will need to ensure he does not make as much contact at the NFL level or will be heavily penalized...way too aggressive at times...susceptible to double moves...may not be a man cover corner?...little stiff through the hips... Overall: Much like 2008 draft pick, Brandon Flowers, Victor "Macho" Harris is a physical corner who is willing to support the run. Also like Flowers, he does not possess the long speed to be a true man corner. He may be limited to a Cover 2 or other zone heavy scheme, which, like Flowers, knocks him into the second or third round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 are we 100% sure its not Macho Man Randy Savage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkFan8 Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I remember people being upset we took Barnes with Harris still on the board. Hopefully he can play better than he has in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATLredskin Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 If we are going to give this guy a chance then why not bring in Donovan Warren....either way i'm not upset about the move Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soup Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 The guy played CB/Safety in college He likes to hit and is physical but lacks the coverage skills to be a good CB and Like I said before has problems with playaction. BUT I do like the pick up maybe he'll fit with a 3-4 who knows. but I'm being bias, i wanted to take him in the 3rd round over Barnes so....

Not going to necessarily disagree on Macho, but Flowers has made whoever wrote this look like a moron. Flowers is one of the better cover corners in the league right now.

BRAVEONAWARPATH Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 that scouting report kind of sounds like laron... Except Laron has great speed and is better in man coverage. Other than that, they're just alike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoleSkin21 Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I remember people being upset we took Barnes with Harris still on the board.Hopefully he can play better than he has in the past. I agree! Hopefully he will turn out to be something special. Not going to join the Mob of Macho group that will probably start, b/c I don't think he will stick around. Why wasn't he signed before? Tried out for the Lions and didn't make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tris Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I'm not saying you're wrong but what makes him a better long term prospect than Myron Rolle? Higher ceiling. If you are going to take a flyer on a raw guy, it better be one who has shown some elite skills, which Harris has as a ball hawk. However, he has also displayed pretty terrible instincts and decision making. Maybe he can be coached up to become a poor man's Landry. Rolle by comparison seems like a homeless man's Doughty.

UNCWREDSKINS Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Am I the only one who said "for what" when reading this? Nothing like having another Slow DB! Hopefully he goes to the PS. im guessing with a name like yours ,you are a Florida State Fan.. no wonder you dont like him. Go HOKIES! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta remember, Rolle took a year off from football. So give him another season or so before judging him. At least we know with Rolle he would pick up the D quickly and would be smart enough to be in the right spot and not free lance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure that Macho's ceiling is higher considering how much slower he is than Rolle. And he's smaller too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right about macho having a nose for the ball, He was a great all around player in college. But for some reason it just didn't follow him into the NFL. I thought the eagles stole him in the draft in the 5th round. Most mocks had him in the 3rd round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soljaofjesus Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I went to High school with Macho. He was a beast at RB. Pretty good CB at Tech too. Welcome home Macho!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would anything he did in college affect the Noles? He never hurt us when we played. But that's b/c we have team speed. I never said I didn't like him, I just dont think he will be a good pro. Great college player. I just think there are other players that can come right in and play safety for us, like Mike Brown. I can separate my college allegiance from my football allegiance. If Tim Tebow came in and led the Skins to the super bowl, I'd love him, although I hate him in college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may be limited to a Cover 2 or other zone heavy scheme, which, like Flowers, knocks him into the second or third round. I don't think he's really worth getting to pumped about right now, but I actually find this scouting report encouraging. Flowers slipped a little in the draft, then was unimpressive as a rookie, before turning into a quality starting corner. We obviously grabbed Harris more as a spec investment as safety, but if his career follows a Flowers-like path, he could turn into something worthwhile.

NoleSkin21 Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Rolle 4.60 40Harris 4.68 40 Neither are burners. Should look at Harris' shuttle run. I guarantee it is way better than Rolle's. I wanted to sign Mike Brown or Pat Watkins before he was signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsCrushCowboys Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 watched him at Va Tech and was solid...struggled a bit in NFL, but he may be a decent gamble. Don;t know that he will come in and be a factor right away, but I like the move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
