Chris Harris News

Carolina Panthers strong safety Chris Harris is back at it: creating turnovers again.

Tom Brady and the Patriots have lost three of four, but two were prime time road games against the Saints and Colts .

Big deal, right? The Bucs have more losses than Tiger Woods has mistresses - and that's saying something.

There wasn't a hint of irony in Carolina Panthers tight end Jeff King's voice when he enthusiastically described it as "Panther football." But Sunday, there was no better way to describe it.

Opportunity lost. In a season that already has seen more than its fair share of disappointing defeats, this one may stick in the craw of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for a little while.

The Panthers lost to the Jets 17-6. JEFF SINER - jsiner@charlotteobserver.com http://media.charlotteobserver.com/smedia/2009/11/29/20/Panthers_Jets13.embedded.prod_affiliate.138.JPG 403 11/29/09 Carolina Panthers linebacker Jon Beason celebrates his recovery of a fumble by New York Jets running back Shonn Greene during second quarter action Sunday ...

The Carolina Panthers had a pretty frustrating game on Sunday. Don't believe me? Ask Chris Harris, the Panthers strong safety who stopped by Cat Scratch Reader to post his thoughts about the game.

Frustrated, yes. Ready to give up on the quarterback, no. Those were the essential sentiments of the Carolina Panthers defense Sunday after a 17-6 loss against the New York Jets in Giants Stadium -- a game in which Panthers quarterback Jake Delhomme threw four interceptions, increasing his season total to a career-high 18 .

Rookie Sherrod Martin will start today at free safetyahead of Charles Godfrey, who's back after missing four games with a sprained ankle.

With Charles Godfrey's sprained ankle apparently healed, the Panthers might have three healthy safeties for Sunday's game against the New York Jets.

Charles Godfrey said Monday he is close to coming back. What he's coming back to, he has no idea.

On a day when Lance Moore was out with an ankle injury and Marques Colston played "one of my worst games," the Saints' other two receivers stepped up with game-changing performances in their 30-20 victory over the Carolina Panthers.

About the only thing that could equal the heartbreak of Sunday's 30-20 loss to the New Orleans Saints was finding out a day later they've lost an important playmaker for the season.

Exasperated, Carolina quarterback Jake Delhomme put both hands on his helmet as he stood in the end zone and watched New Orleans defensive tackle Anthony Hargrove make the play that sunk the Panthers' upset attempt of the unbeaten Saints.

Last week was good, make no mistake. But the Carolina Panthers know that unless they follow up with a win today at New Orleans, the gains of last week's road upset at Arizona won't mean nearly as much.

After holding Arizona's Kurt Warner to 242 yards,the Panthers still have the NFL's top-rated pass defense .

The T.O. Show rolls into town today, just in time to catch Steve Smith one week after vocalizing some of his frustrations.

Wide receiver Steve Smith broke down in tears at a post-game press conference while talking about the death of his former Santa Monica Junior College football coach Robert Taylor, who passed away Thursday at 64 of cancer.

Steve Smith and Terrell Owens on the same field. A short, speedy, dominant and sometimes volatile receiver facing off against a tall, speedy, dominant and sometimes volatile receiver.

CHARLOTTE After three games, there were plenty of questions about the effectiveness of defensive coordinator Ron Meeks' new scheme.
