Lions defensive lineman Damon 'Snacks' Harrison sees sharp dropoff in tackles

Allen Park — Although there's nothing small about Damon Harrison, the nose tackle's performance has been microcosm of the woes that have plagued the Detroit Lions' defense six games into the season.

Harrison is a known commodity. His reputation as a dominant run stopper has been firmly established. Because of that, he was expected to be the anchor of a unit that was supposed to be pretty good, but thus far has fallen flat.

Harrison, the definition of a consistent performer the past several years, knows he's part of the problem.

"Obviously, it’s very disappointing, especially having the guys we have in the room," Harrison said.
