If Hobbs responsibility is the deep zone, you can't expect him to break up plays underneath him on in-cuts. Everything I've heard from BB and his teammates suggests that everyone in the patriots organization has confidence in Hobbs. I don't have confidence in any secondary or any CB to lock down anyone without pressure on the QB. And then sometimes there's just nothing you can do when a QB makes a good throw and a receiver makes a good catch (see the Plaxico catch in the 1st quarter).
I am amazed that Assante doesn't get tested deep when the opponents get a 1 on 1 with him. I am stunned and happy and how often teams will stay away from Samuel throughout most of the game. I guarantee if teams wanted to pick on Samuel, sure he'd have some INTs along the way but he'd be scorched for some plays deep too, just like every CB in the game.
To sum it up, YES I have confidence in Hobbs. I'll never forget how he took over for that incompetent Duane Starks either!
good analysis and points on the types of coverage
