Micah Parsons DEFENDS Marvin Harrison Jr., Questions Cardinals After Texans Trade · Bleacher Report

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: My problem with Marvin Harrison is if I'm drafting a
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: guy that early, I'm like, he is my franchise player.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Gotta be the guy.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Across the four games he played this year, he had
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: 13 total targets. Malik Navers off ACL and week five
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: this year had 20 targets.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: 20 targets.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: In one game, he had more targets than Marvin Harrison.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying That, you know, the Arizona is poorly coached.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like, this is just malpractice. Because I'm
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: not saying, like, his game don't translate. And Trey McBride, like,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: look at this. Like, Trey McBride, he's averaging 11, over
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: 11 targets a game. And he should. He's probably the
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: best side in the league right now. Why receivers are
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: very Madonna-like? If I'm not getting the ball, I'm grumpy,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: I'm running lazy. That's just who they are, and you
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: see that across the league. So it's not just Marvin, oh,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: he's running terrible rides. He's not seeing the ball. He's
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: out there running cardio. No, I do have a question.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: This is across two different offensive coaching staffs now where
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: he hasn't been getting targets. Do you think it's like, hey,
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: maybe he's just not good enough to earn these targets?
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: No.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Is that what it is?
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: If I'm taking guy number four overall, he has to
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: be good enough to get ten targets a game.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: I think some of the same questions that came out
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: about him in the pre-draft process, people talked about his
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: inability to separate. I think Marvin Harrison is great. I
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: thought he was great in college. I'm just not sure
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: if he has it at the NFL level.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Where he's exceptionally well, he doesn't receive the ball.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Where is that?
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: In the red zone. Red zone, one-on-one, deep threat, however
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: you like to put it. They got him running across
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: the middle. That's never been his game. Even at Ohio State. Like,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: are we watching the same film? He has elite toe-tap balance.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Body control, his body control's right. Body control, tracking, in
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: the air. Like, that's where he's at his best. And
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: when he's gotten the ball, he's succeeded at that.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: But.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: He's never been a, oh, let me just throw him.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: He's never been a T.O., Michael Irvin. Like, let me
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: just throw him across the middle. He's never been that.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's not going to do that. And we got
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: four games played, five receptions, 85 yards. That's dangerously low.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: I think Trey McBride has called more passes in every
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: single game than his 2026.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying. Like, at least start off. Let's
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: throw him some screens. Like, let's get him involved early.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Some comebacks, like. let's try to not force feed him
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: but like he needs the like he needs opportunity he
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: needs it he at least gotta show us he's not
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: good enough and i'm you know i'm happy he's with
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: the texans where you know he's gonna be able to
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: the cj heart marvin harrison connection i'm excited for that
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: is this is this gonna be his opportunity right here
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: i know it has to be if it doesn't work
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: here what are we gonna say then It just, it's
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: probably him. He needs accountability.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Because he's not going to be the number one guy.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: You got Nico.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: You got some solid other pieces. You know what I'm saying?
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: We got a lot of that. But when we talk about,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: we talk about these guys, these early draft picks that
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: got traded. In the last 10 years, only four other
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: top five draft picks have been traded. Those guys are
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Zach Wilson, Trey Lance, Jeff Okuda, Sam Donald, and then
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Marvin Harrison. What do you think about that? Because only
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: one of those guys has really been able to turn
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: around since the trade.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: I believe in Mark, man.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: I truly do.
