Decent stats last season. 862 yards, 4.4 ypc. Looks like he's struggling this season. At this point anything is better than Bell.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Bell has been brutal for the Eagles and Harrison lost his job to a white guy.  Cripple fight!

Eagles Trade For RB Harrison
The Eagles announced on Wednesday that they have traded running back Mike Bell to the Cleveland Browns for another running back, Jerome Harrison.

Harrison was the starting running back in Cleveland heading into the season before losing the job to Peyton Hillis. On the year, he has 31 carries for 91 yards. Bell was signed by the Eagles as a restricted free agent, and has 28 yards on 16 carries.

Haha. Howie is farging trade happy. There hasn't been this much in-season roster movement in as long as I can remember.

Oh and I guess I don't hate this trade. Bell farging blew.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

So, is Cleveland basically the AAA affiliate of the Eagles now?

[joneszilla]

Good trade.

Solid trade.. Got to feel much more comfortable now if McCoy gets hurt, better yet even when McCoy goes out for a play or two.

Harrison is a finesse runner and opposite of Clevelands power run game. Hillis who is a friggin beast with great hands fits their scheme much more than Harrison. Plus, the Browns already knew in the beginning of the season Harrison wasn't capable of carrying a full workload-which pit him the coaches doghouse.

Anyone that breaks off consecutive (?) 200+ yd games you got to give props to and probably means they have some skill running the ball.

even if hes terrible it cant hurt anything

bell was about as effective as rjs during zombie target practice

[Drunkmasterflex]

At least Mike Bell is gone....I thought he would be a decent pick up but man did he blow.

[Feva]

The second Harrison picks up a 3-yd gain, he's worth the trade because that's more than Bell ever did.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

16 carries and not one was for 3 or more?  That's comically bad.

[Zanshin]

What I like best about this trade is that Harrison isn't Bell. If McCoy goes down, I'd rather have Harrsion who fits the offense better, anyway. Bell couldn't pick up even short yardage, which made him absolutely worthless to the team.

[Diomedes]

Harrison must be delighted to get out from under Mangini. 

I'll take Reid any day over that fool.
