Packers’ Addition of Snacks Harrison Only Helps Their Run Defense
Green Bay Packers get accused of sitting on their hands a lot. People get mad at Brian Gutekunst that he doesn’t do enough to help the team. I disagree for a variety of reasons. It is weird how people think they know more than Gute, but that’s another story for another time. Packers tried to sign Damon ‘Snacks’ Harrison a few weeks ago. He decided to go play for Seattle instead. That didn’t work out. Snacks barely made it off the practice squad and they didn’t have much use for him in a 4-3 defense. Harrison went on the waiver wire again. This time, the Green Bay Packers added him and he intends to sign with the team. This is a major lift for Green Bay’s run defense.
The Packers were awarded ex-Seahawks DT Snacks Harrison off waivers, per the wire.

It is very cliche to always reflect back to 2010, but it’s hard not to when it is your Super Bowl year. This gives you the vibes of Howard Green. Now, Howard Green was much more of an unknown and came out of nowhere. Snacks is a notable player who has done things for multiple organizations in New York and Detroit. But he brings that same sort of thing Green did when it comes to stuffing the run. This will also let Kenny Clark push to the outside and create on the edge. He is good there and something Clark has wanted to do more of.
Good for Gute and the Packers for not settling with the options they currently have on their roster.
