We won, again.
The game confirmed two things for me.
1: We are still the team to beat.
2: As I have stated, many times, while Ellis Hobbs is a real hard nosed player, especially for his size, and he DOES give it his all...he is a pitiful cover man from the corner position.
He gives up far too much room at the line, and he gets beaten easily by two things, one body fake, and on quick inside slants.
He is far off the receiver way too often. He recovers, occasionally, to make a good hit, but it is after the fact...after the reception.
As a nickel back, where he does not have to go on man to man coverage, and has the opportunity to react to the play, to the quarterbacks eyes, and the receivers move, he is much better.
But, as a starting corner, he is a very very, weak link on the secondary.
Now, I am , also, not suggesting that we have another Ty Law to replace him, but I feel somewhat better with Scott or Mickens on the opposite corner from Asante Samuel.
