Bears defensive tackle Tommie Harris finished a disappointing 2009 season with 2.5 seasons, but coach Lovie Smith bolstered his faith in the three-time Pro Bowl selection and noted his sack total should have been higher. "I'll say he should have had five more sacks where he just didn't wrap the guy up," Smith said at the NFL combine. "He can still be an impact player. He will still be an impact player. Our defense is counting on him to do that. "When you go through some injuries sometimes you say, 'Well, maybe a guy can't do it anymore.' He can still do it. And he needs to do it this year." Harris has 7.5 sacks in the last two seasons, after having a career-high 8.0 in 2008. He is due a $2.5 million roster bonus in June. "We need Tommie to play the way he's capable of playing every snap," Smith said. Harris had his "ups and downs," Smith said, but he also had a lot of "flash plays."
