Re: Manny Harris' End of the Year Performance
The nice thing about the position this franchise is in right now is that it allows for the experimentation/development of young, unheard of guys. Are they all going to work out? No. In all actuality, most of them will fail. But, the upside is that some of them will find a niche in the league. If we can faind a guy or two like that, then great. They will provide depth at a cheap price and ususally value every single minute of playing time they get, so you see max effort all the time.
Can Manny be one of these guys? I don't know yet, but I do know he will get a chance to show how hard he is willing to work at it over the offseason. If it translates to the pro level to the pouint of him becoming valuable, jackpot. If not, no big loss. We really have nothing to lose with these kinds of guys. As our franchise rebuild continues to develop there will be less and less of these opportunities(hopefully). In the meantime, I kind of like seeing guys like Manny, Harris, and Sloan get a shot at showing what they got. You don't just build a team from the top down. You build from the inside out, top down, bottom up, and everything in between.
