Routt to tryout for HOU **Update** Signed

[76Texan]

Like!

He's the one who chased down Jerome Mathis on a return a few years back.

Remember how fast Mathis was?
And Routt chased him down from across the field.

Color me excited (until the first PI )

[MistaRed]

Welcome home Stanford. Don't mess over Bob's money.

That doesn't help during the game.

So does he play Lloyd, Welker or centerfield?

I know one guy Routt can shut down!

He's not looking for the ball.

Lets not all get too excited right up front on this. Remember, Wade is going to need some time to turn him into a Pro Bowl CB.

We probably won't see that until the Minnesota game. Wade isn't a miracle worker you know.

I think the hopes would be none of the above. He'll be an emergency DB and maybe a STer. He'd basically be replacing Posey as our last resort

[Dutchrudder]

Well, he can't be worse than McCain.

playing for the Raiders might have resulted in some of those "tic-tac" penalties.

We don't even know if he's going to play this week.

I still think either Alan or JJo will go.

If both go, perhaps Alan will be in the slot on Welker.

If not, I think it will be Harris.

If neither go, we might see him some.

Who knows, Quin might play some CB this week.

I think Routt fits with us because they played a lot man coverage in Oakland.

As I suspected, have since found this explanation on Rotoworld (November 21, 2012) that now makes sense.

Some more to ponder.

Routt is a penalty waiting to happen. He has good speed, but tends to not look for the ball and/or has his hands all over the WR. When he is playing well, he does pretty good. His penalties typically were just totally untimely.

Vance Joseph turned Kareem Jackson into a Probowl caliber corner. I think
Routt will be fine in the environment he now finds himself in.

When we brought in Quintin Demps late last year he made an immediate impact. Although he had been here in preseason.

If he is in shape and he is familiar with the terminology he could play. If they put him on someone to stay on and doesn't have to worry about switching receivers mid-route he might be out there.

Exactly. I just don't get all the McCain love. Harris will be taking McCains spot, and who says in th near future that this secondary did not just get upgraded overall?

Was thinking the same.

Early Christmas Stanford Routt. Give it your very best & return favor to coaches & teammates so we can all celebrate

There's a video out there somewhere in the same area of the video posted earlier in this thread.

His burn rate in 2010 ranked third.
That's even better than Asomugha and it was better than JJo by quite a bit that year.
