In 2018, the Detroit Lions traded for Damon ‘Snacks’ Harrison and he immediately transformed the Lions’ rush defense into one of the best in the NFL.
This offseason, Harrison clearly wanted a contract extension and Lions GM Bob Quinn eventually gave in and made that happen, despite Harrison being on the wrong side of 30 years old.

The hope was that Harrison would come into the 2019 season and dominate against the rush as he has for years.
Unfortunately, Harrison is not off to the best start as he has struggled through the Lions’ first four games. During those games, Snacks has a total of just 10 tackles and the Lions rush defense has not looked great. According to Pro Football Focus, Harrison has graded poorly in each of the Lions’ first four games and he has a total score of 59.1 through the first quarter of the season, which is not good.
Because of his play, many “experts” and fans have called out Harrison for signing an extension and not producing.
Well, Harrison hears the haters and he recently jumped on Twitter to call them out.
“Pick a side and stay there…shake back bout to be real..I hear the whispers,” Harrison tweeted.

What do you think, Nation? Is the “shake back bout to be real?”
