Cowboys special teams hopeful to fill void without Dwayne Harris

Receiver Dwayne Harris was one of many Cowboys to depart this off-season for a bigger contract. Mostly a special teamer who not only took returns but covered them also, Harris inked a five-year, $17.5 million deal with the Giants after becoming a free agent.

"It's unfortunate that we lost him, but you can't blame the guy," Dallas kicker Dan Bailey said. "It's part of the business."

Bailey, who also handles the team's kickoff duties, appreciated the hard work Harris put into covering kicks and punts.

"He's a guy that plays hard and definitely anytime you have a guy who can put 17 tackles on a special teams unit, whether it's kickoff or punt, I think obviously is going to help your team out a lot. When he was here, he was a good player for us."...

Will be interesting to see how he does against us tonight, as he should know our schemes pretty well as we should also know his tendencies

Best case scenario. Harris returns a punt for the Giants lone TD of the night as they get trounced, leading to Bisaccia being fired. Everyone wins.

Harris is very solid.
But 4 years and 16 mil is a lot. Can't fault either side for that.

I do think he may get a few targets today in the passing game...fwiw.

They must plan on using him in the passing game. That would be the only way to justify that money.
