Okay ... strap on the lie detector.

Do you really have confidence in Hobbs?

For me the answer is no. I feel we have a good enough defense to compensate for him ...
I think he has the ability to be better and that's why I have no confidence in him.
With all that athletic ability he should be a ball hawk ... and he is not ... oh well ...

gimme a break dude.he stepped up in the playoffs last year. he always does. the refs just shafted him like they did with asante in the broncos playoff game.

and if you are going to say he allows completions. it's a function of the zone defense. in the pitt game it was actually sanders who blew coverage on najeh davenport. breakdowns happen occassionally.

the defense got better last night when they blitzed more.

i love hobbs competitive nature. i'm comfortable with him.

I go back and forth between "he's terrible" and "he's not as bad as he looks because other teams won't try to pick on Samuel."

Yeah ... that's about where I am. I think I expect too much from him. I mean an athlete like that should be able to jump out of his cleats. The Assante factor does weigh in heavily here and it's hard to judge watching on TV. I don't think he's terrible, I think I expect too much from him.

I don't think he's as physically gifted as Samuel. He's short and he's not smooth.

Having said that, I feel he'll have a good playoffs because he hustles like hell and he has a lot of heart. Gave up 6 inches to Plaxico, or more?

I see at least one high pick for corner and a move to nickel where he'll be a star like Terrel Buckley.

it's a 53 player roster in the cap era. not everyone is going to be a pro bowl candidate. for my money, hobbs has weaknesses, for which his teammates compensate, but, in the end, he steps up. that's enough for me. i have confidence in the guy as part of our defense.

Hobbs was beat like a rented mule in the first half vs the Giants. He did have that big pick in the second half though so maybe he stepped up his game. And yes I did see Asante gamble once and give up 1 TD.
When you give up passing TDs to Eli Manning, there's something not quite right there.

Pats will look at the problem, diagnoze it, and try to scheme a fix. BB is a genius at these things, or so i hear...

Here's my thoughts on Hobbs.

This guy is a #3 corner in this league. He is a # 2 for us which is of course a weakness.

If he kept his mouth shut and did a little less dancing on the field, he wouldn't draw so much attention to himself when he gets scorched..

As far as getting scorched, he gets scorched a little too often.

He's too small. Asante is about the same height but Samuel is a smart heady player. Hobbs plays dumb way too often.

In short.....No confidence. But you play with what you have.
