What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe Giants released running back Najee Harris on Tuesday, two days after coach John Harbaugh benched Cam Skattebo and Harris appeared to be next in line for the starting job.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHarris got four carries for two yards in the loss to New Orleans, and his quote afterward was, it's hard to get into a rhythm with one or two runs.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorFour carries.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHarbaugh said the run game hadn't earned a featured role and told his backs to go out there and take the job.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHarris finished with thirty-one carries for ninety-nine yards as a Giant.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo he was told to take the job, took four carries, and then took the exit. That's a man following instructions.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorHe asked for more work and got the most work of all, which is none.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThe Giants also cut linebacker Jihad Ward, so the whole building is clearing out.
