Do people think that Marvin Harrison is just sitting back watching TV or something? The reason he has been held out for so long is so he can get ready for the playoffs after having the injury he suffered. Tony Dungy said he could have played a long time ago if it where a playoff game. The guy has been training, and I think it would be a big mistake to think that he will not be ready when game time comes!

Remember when he got hurt that it was only a "bruised knee"?
Dungy let him take as long as he needed to be 100% healthy.
(EDIT)
For those who think he won't be in game shape, Deion Branch did the same thing in 2004 and he had a monster postseason, including the Super Bowl MVP..............and there's a huge difference between Harrison and Branch.

okay let me put the same situation in a different senario
say you play the drums. You play the drums for a long time. You stop playing the Drums for about 2 months, but you still practice a new song air drumming, etc. but not acctually playing on the drum set. You think your just going to hop on the drum set and play perfectly cause you've been practicing? What Im trying to say is though Harrison has been practicing and staying in shape for playoffs, he hasn't played in a GAME situation in a long time, which could make him a little rusty. Im not saying hes gonna go in the game and drop 4 passes, but Im not saying hes gonna get 2 TDs for 125+ yards. Who knows whats gonna happen. but he has been out of games for a while and so it might lose a little naturalness on it.

I do think he is the Colts secret weapon for the playoffs. I think he could have started back playing but they have no real reason for him right now when they are winning games. They made it to the playoffs and got a bye. He will be a huge pick up in the playoffs.
but idk about him watching tv. He could be if he has nothing better else to do.

He may very well be physically in shape but, he will be out of sync with the rest of the team, his mind will not be as focused as it would be, if he had been playing the whole season.

I've never heard anybody say that, but he's still working out. There's no way that he wouldn't be. His trainers are likely pushing him to stay in shape.

I think they think that because he hasn't been able to run and cut as hard.
