For all you guy's regurgitating the same garbage bashing Faggins ..... Sunday he was covering Marvin Harrison , the guy is one of the top 5 recievers in the NFL . Harrison had 6 catches for 53 yards no TD's and a long of 14 yards ..... Pey-Me-A-Ton Manning was playing catch with him . He's no slouch either .... arguably the #1 or #2 QB in the game right now .
Add to that the Texans safeties are probably the weakest position on that side of the ball at this time .
There is NO true FS on this roster . Boulware and Demps didnt join the team until after training camp and probably dont have a great grasp of their jobs in this defense just yet .... Not to mention that they are both more suited to the SS position . Do I even need to mention CC Brown here ?
Von Hutchins is a CB playing out of position , he's made a few plays but is he really the answer ? He was behind Faggins at the CB position for a reason .
Lets not forget that Glenn Earl , Jason Simmons and Brandon Harrison are all on IR .
Seems every week teams try to match up their best reciever against Faggins . And every week the coaches keep sending him out there with
limited help over the top ..... could that be why he gives recievers a 5-7 yard cushion ?
Yes , Steve Smith had 3 TD's in last weeks game .... one of which was a highlight reel catch in the end zone tipping the ball to himself .... Faggins had excelent position on the play ..... Smith just made a great play . On one of the others about 5 guy's failed to tackle him after a mediocre gain .... just another great play from Smith .
Take away that play and Smith had a good game but nothing to bellow about . (7 catches for 79 yards . 11.3 avg)
As for the final catch that Harrison made for a first down essentially killing the Texans chances .... Its the coaches who call the plays and put the players in position prior to the snap not the other way around . Ive yet to see a Defensive Coordinator record a sack or interception ..... The coaches had to know better than giving Harrison a 7 yard cushion in that situatoin .
Maybe some of you guy's had Marvin Harrison on your fantasy teams this week and are kinda pissed he didnt do more ..... but when Harrison lines up against the Texans I'll take 6 catches for 53 yards and no TD's from my DB every week .
Reggie Wayne and Dallas Clark had a bigger impact on this game than Harrison ....
You Armchair Cornerbacks need to find another scapegoat
