"What a great week. He had a new baby girl on Friday. And a game-winning interception" in Denver's 24-17 victory that shook up the AFC playoff picture.In between, he had a shared sack, a pass breakup and three hard hits on Ben Roethlisberger, one of which led to a second interception and another that was tantalizingly close to a safety after he bowled over center Maurkice Pouncey and dropped Roethlisberger on his back in the end zone.Cut a half-dozen times by the Raiders, Jets and Cowboys, Harris signed a futures contract in Denver two weeks after Joseph was hired as head coach in January 2017.Having missed most of the 2016 season after getting cut in camp by the Jets and signing with Dallas just before Christmas, Harris said, "I felt like Denver was my last chance."That didn't translate to making a good first impression, though."He's got about a week before we cut him," Joseph said he told defensive line coach Bill Kollar then."He was just that bad that spring," Joseph recalled earlier this week. "I guess the light came on Chris Boswell Jersey , and the guy's been playing really good football for a year and a-half since."Harris heeded his coach's admonition to start hustling on every single down every single day."They might have thought that he's a week away from cutting, but the next thing you know he's leading our defensive tackles in sacks last year," linebacker Shane Ray said. "And he's made huge plays this year. That says a lot about his character."In 2017, Harris played in all 16 games for the first time in his career and was second on the team with 5陆 sacks. This year, he's been especially stout in the run game but can still make his mark in the pass rush.Kollar said it all began with a heart-to-heart talk with Harris."What happens when you get up here, everybody's good, everybody's tough. So, to me, you've got to take it to next level. When you're a guy who's just never made it, dude, you've got to change your (stuff) Authentic Xavier Grimble Jersey ," Kollar said Wednesday. "So, that's what I told him: 'You've got to work your butt off or you're not going to make it. I want you working harder than those guys you're playing across from.'"Kollar said it was a classic case of pairing determination with natural ability."My job is to get it out of them, to do it all the time," Kollar said. "But I ride everybody's (behind) on the D-line."It turns out Kollar was the perfect headmaster for Harris."Bill got me in better shape, I'll say that," Harris said. "But really, we do a lot of reps and then he goes and explains it and it kind of opens your eyes a little bit the way he explains it, the certain blocks and the way you're supposed to take them on. And the technique that he teaches is kind of natural for me. And so, everything's kind of just fallen into place with Bill."Harris also credited his teammates for helping bring out his best."The players on the D-line have really helped me out to just become a better player, a better person," Harris said. "The whole D-line and Coach Kollar have helped turn my game into what it is today."Harris said he's taken tidbits from Derek Wolfe Cheap Javon Hargrave Jersey , Domata Peko, Adam Gotsis and Zach Kerr: "I try to take little pieces from all of them and add them into my game, and it's kind of worked out perfectly."Harris' only other career interception came for Illinois State against Indiana State in 2013.The only other time he got a game ball came in 2015, when he made a touchdown-saving tackle against the Chargers, when he was also running on adrenalin from sleep deprivation."You want to know something crazy? The first time was after I had my son," Harris said. "And I missed the Thursday practice that time and half of Friday and came back Friday night."He missed practice last Friday for the birth of his daughter ."It was funny. I was joking around with Zach: 'You know, every time I have a kid, something good happens," Harris recounted. "It was just like a joke we had going on 鈥?and then you saw what happened."Harris insists, however, that it won't go down as his best game in the pros."There's a lot of room to improve Jordan Berry Jersey ," Harris said. "I want to put together a complete game where I'm going out there and being dominant in the run and dominant in the pass."Follow Arnie Melendrez Stapleton on Twitter: ://arniestapletonMatthew Thomas could be in the mix to see snaps on Sunday if Vince Williams cannot play Having suffered a hamstring injury in Week 4, the status of Vince Williams is in some doubt for the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday after Mike Tomlin was unable to offer any positive updates about his condition on Tuesday. If he cannot play, there should be a legitimate debate about who might start in his place. L.J. Fort was the first player off the bench to replace Williams against the Baltimore Ravens, even though Tyler Matakevich is the one listed behind him on the depth chart. After a week of practice that saw Matthew Thomas training with the first-team at times, the backup roles at inside linebacker are clearly in flux.Prior to Sunday night, none of these three reserve players had seen a snap on defense through the first three games, and Fort saw just 11 snaps against Baltimore when Williams went down. Looking ahead to Week 5, it appears the undrafted rookie might actually be in line to make his career debut on defense against the Atlanta Falcons.When asked during his weekly press conference if Thomas would be an option to play in place of Williams, Mike Tomlin confirmed he was in the mix to see some snaps.Even if it is not this Sunday, it does seem that Thomas is inching his way closer to be included on defense on game day, and if Williams does miss the upcoming game http://www.steelerscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-stephon-tuitt-jersey , it not too hard to envisage the coaching staff believing the young rookie was a better option to start than Fort or Matakevich. That being said, Tomlin’s love of his veteran players is well known, and it would be equally unsurprising if Thomas was left languishing on the bench a bit longer before he was able to convince Tomlin or Keith Butler that he deserved an opportunity to play. Having expected his inclusion with the first-team in practice ahead of the Ravens game was an indication Thomas might play in Week 4, we are equally prepared to be disappointed again this week. Should the Steelers continue to falter, they will have nothing to lose from trying some of their more inexperienced players like the former Florida State product. How much worse can he really be given the standard of play we have already seen at the position so far this season? Custom Cleveland Browns Jerseys
