The Piano Player Gets Another Start
22nd December, 2005 - 3:51 pm
ESPN - Joey Harrington is getting at least one more chance with the Detroit Lions.

He will start at quarterback over Jeff Garcia this week against the New Orleans Saints, interim coach Dick Jauron said Wednesday.

"We are just trying to see if we can jump-start and get a win somehow," Jauron said.

Harrington, the third pick in the 2002 draft, began the season as the starter, then lost his job when Garcia recovered from injuries in late October. After two games as a backup, Harrington was a starter again until Jauron replaced fired coach Steve Mariucci and went with Garcia for the previous three games.

Both quarterbacks have struggled for the Lions, who have lost seven of eight since sharing the division lead with a 3-3 record. [READ]
