Default Who's worse: Hobbs or Bryant?

I went to the game tonight, what a mistake. I'm tired of seeing Ellis get used and abused and "game-planned for" each and every week by offensive coordinators and what's up with Bryant, I thought this guy was a stead Eddie type, I know he never had a lot of picks in his career, but I didn't know his coverage skills have deteriorated that much. Brutal.

To be honest, Wheatley has earned a starting spot, he's better than either one of these two. It's one thing to pass on DRC who has already shut down his side of the field in Arizona, he hasn't seen a pass thrown his way yet, but to think Fernando Bryant is the answer, I don't know man. Goober will be licking his chops if we stroll those two into Lucas Oil in November.

Bah I'm tired of seeing posts bashing Hobbs. It's amazing the hate this guy gets from so many pats fans.

Can we just wait to play some regular season games, where we actually scheme and gameplan for a team before you start misjudging players? It's not a if the patriots just played strict man to man and the db's were blowing it left and right. There are holes in every zone defense ever called/created.

Neither of them are bad. I truly think it's the play calling. Why are these guys playing 10 yards off the receivers every down? It didn't work last year. We have shorter CB that are faster and are better in bump coverage, but we give the other team an easy 5 yard pass and the WRs do the rest. Quite annoying seeing that this game when that was one of our banes last year.

The Pats played a soft zone most of the night. As long as they keep the receivers in front of them, they are doing what the Pats asked. Hobbs did it and Bryant did it other than one time.

I'm with you. I'll take Hobbs any day. I wish coaches would not have him play off recvr so much.

it's way too early to assess either one of these guys this season.(hobbs- post injury)

Yea I'm definitely hoping we see more tight coverages this season as opposed to the last couple but I definitely don't expect it to be that great until at least a few games into the season. We do have quite a few new pieces that need to be worked into it all.

Wasn't Bryant a journeyman CB who did not even make the Lions roster as he was cut and all of a sudden you expect greatness from him?

BB is good when choosing players but not a miracle man and Bryant was a move that was needed at the time,A Desperate move,but filled a hole regardless with little cap worry.

Maybe a Duane Starks Jr. in 2008,maybe not ,But Champ Bailey can rest easy,His role as leagues best CB is not in danger of Fernando taking it away

Duane Starks Jr. in 2008
Filled a hole?

To be honest, I would rather see an untested Wilhite or a washed up Ty Law fill that hole, because Bryant has been Jason David part 2 so far. He's been awful, don't paint him any differently, he's been terrible and better improve or we are toast............

Filled a hole when Asante left town - That hole - Which IMO is still pretty big right now - I could only hope Law would come back soon.
