Actually they rarely played man on man coverage and Hobbs excels in man coverage, but don't that ruin your low opinion of Hobbs.

Just don't forget to give Hobbs some credit this year (and not all of it going to Capers and the coaches).

And if you believe this...your grasp of the game is up there with my Aunt Sally.....watch the play of Hobbs against Burress in both last game of regular season......and that same play repeated again to win the SB for some education......

You could also watch the Bengals game and watch how Chad Johnson gets locked down and becomes invisible... BY HOBBS.

Mo's comment is fact, not opinion. Hobbs is better in man than zone and far better in man than Asante ever was. But hey, I guess if you let up a completion to a guy that has a foot of height on you and a perfect throw means you are terrible.
