Hobbs drives me nuts. At times he looks good, at other times he looks like Cris Canty. His coverage skills are questionable. He has the speed to compete, but constantly gets burned because he is looking in the backfield instead of focusing on the reciever. He takes good angles when he tackles, but he doesn't tackle all that well. He talks a very good game, but always has an excuse for his many failures in coverage, and I am sick of him playing the hero by telling the press he played hurt, or by acting like he got hurt making a tackle, only to reemerge like Superman on the next play. Once or twice I can buy, but every game, multiple times? It is why he is Ellis Hobbles, and he lets everybody know. And I will never forgive his coverage of Plaxico Burris in the SB. If he had watched any film at all he would have known what play was coming, instead he turns toward the middle of the endzone and leaves Burris alone.
In reality he is playing out of position. He is a nickle back, and he might be a really good nickle back, but he shoouldn't be starting corner for a team that expects to go to the Super Bowl. He just isn't that good.
I have a Ellis card that spontaniously catches on fire, it is always too hot to touch.
