Harrison Responds to Joe Thomas’ Flop Comment

The Tribune-Review is talking today about that whole James Harrison-Joe Thomas debate…

After the Steelers lost to the Browns a few weeks ago, Thomas said Harrison is getting a reputation for flopping when the outside linebacker thinks he is being held. “It’s something Harrison has been doing,” Thomas told The Cleveland Plain Dealer. “It seems like he didn’t do it last year. Now, he’s kind of perfected it. I don’t know if he has a reputation yet, but I know after this year he will.” Harrison said that the lack of holding calls are getting worse compared to a year ago.” Tell Joe he can say whatever he wants to say, if you hold me, I will do whatever I can to get that call,” Harrison said Wednesday, making his first public comment on the issue. “I bet I can go to the league office, and you can (find) at least three or four holds a game (on film) over the course of a season,” Harrison said. “What’s that – 50-something holds a year that they didn’t call?”
