Nah Harris inflicted some serious punishment in his time here. Elusive yes but Harris ran over people regularly as much as BO. Look no further than what Harris did in the 2019 GC as an example.

 

Go watch his high lights again and look me up.

Harris is/was a balanced back. Not a power back. He ran hard and could push the pile or beat the odd db tackle. Hense why his go to power move was the stiff arm. 
 Brady, is a pure power back. He runs into and through tacklers. He’s a good 25lbs heavier. 
 

brady has really seemed to learn from watching Harris. The multi cuts when he lengthens his stride but he doesn’t run for angles on dbs.

Yip...there is a difference...both physical...but Brady punishes intentionally...looks to go through you and inflict a hit...Harris would be more elusive..and try to like said take an angle away..but was physical in he rarely went down at first contact.. and had knack to get those extra yards...similar backs...but different

In cold weather games I can see Oliviera being a real pain to play against and defensive players not enjoying it...

With all due respect to @EdTait, Rob Vanstone may be my new favorite CFL reporter.  That article was an absolute delight to read.  😂

IG Field has become what Taylor field used to be for the Bombers.

I was thinking McMahon, but I don't recall the non-Labour Day games' record in Regina.

They are different back yes. Brady is a heavier  set but no one can discount Harris looking to paste someone nature. Harris was more elusive though yes.
