James Harrison

I can do all these cards and run them as fast as I need.

But when I get on the offensive side of the ball and I'm in that huddle with Tom Brady and he's giving these checks and if I run these routes wrong, I'm not going back to practice squad.

I'm getting cut from this team because...

You gotta be ready to elevate.

And like now I'm in with the big boys.

I'm not just running cards.

I'm not just doing scout team reps.

Like now you're doing, we're playing the Bengals.

You run these routes.

Like I'm not trying to beat Jamar Chase and just doing his stuff.

I'm doing what Tom Brady wants me to do.

We're reading these defenses is moving from man to zone.

I gotta know what my checks are.

I don't know.

You know what I'm saying?

I'm getting cut.

I'm in the huddle with Tom Brady.

He's looking at me crazy.

So I can see the mental part of them not being ready, the nervousness of that.

But I think that maybe since I'm listening to what Tom is saying and where he's at and his offense and just what's going on over there, I can see that being a thing of somebody being on the practice squad and being like, all right, man, when I get in there, I better be ready or my ass going to get chopped.
