Jacque Reeves#35 = Disappointing

Okay people, we watched another game, so what do y'all think?

I vote bench.

I tried to be open minded. I gave Reeves slack because of the Roy Williams factor in Dallas, but good lord.

Maybe someone should point out that Reeves is 15 yards off of the reciever he's covering. It was my understanding that he had speed, so get on the guy and use your athleticism.

I never question Rick and Kubes, but everyone is entitled to a bust now and then.

I trust the Coaches to put Molden in when the time is right, but it don't get much righter!!!!!!!!!!

I saw an interview after the game with Reeves on Fox(replay) and Reeves said that his "speed meant nothing without technique". Interesting.

I'm really at the point where I'd rather watch them roll Petey and Bennett out until Moldon is ready. Hell I'd rather watch Moldon "get ready" while playing than watch Reeves. He sucks so damn bad I can't believe the Texans signed the guy. I mean it, he is pathetic. The guy tackles like P-Burnt, covers like Petey, and has the ball hawking skills of Matt Stevens. He probably catches like Demps.

This was an epic quote. I can't stop laughing :spit:

Faggins is better in coverage (insert rim shot here)

I totally agree. Faggins is actually good in coverage but a poor tackler. With the exception of last year when we struggled with everything. That being said, I've seen enough to put Molden, Fletcher for sure, Faggins, and Roberson ahead of Reeves on the depth chart.

classic statement from a track guy. He was a better track and field guy than he has been a football player.

member of Purdue track and field team ... finished second at 2003 Big Ten Indoor Championships in 200 meters (21.47) and third in 60 meters (6.78) ... won 100 meters at 2002 Big Ten Outdoor Championships (10.41) and finished second in 200 meters (20.83) ... finished second at 2001 Big Ten Indoor Championships in both 60 meters (6.80) and 200 meters (21.04) and named Big Ten Freshman of the Year.

The Texans really didn't spend much $$$ on Reeves (relevant to NFL CBs). But, the only coach I've seen to get results from bargain basement corners is Bill Belichick. And he ain't coaching here.

As I said last season during Petey's meltdown, why continue to send out a CB who's not going to get better, rather than giving a young player with potential an opportunity? I'm not asking for Reeves to be cut. Just move him to nickel or dime CB. The guy has had three different coaches and three different schemes in three years. Combine that with the fact he's not very good, and you have one scared CB.

I didn't get to see Molden in camp, but I would rather see him play the entire game Thursday to see if he can get ready for Pittsburgh. What's the downside to starting the kid?

Pretty much my view also.......if your going to get burned in coverage, I'd rather it being while a rookie is learning the ropes, then just watching a guy who is in way over his head and is nothing more than a career backup.

The downside is you can ruin his confidence and thus, his career!
Right now, Molden isn't any better than the rest of the DBs.

I would venture to say that Fletcher has been the most consistent thus far.
Alas he's also the smallest guy we have playing CB, and he may also be the slowest of the bunch. I don't think his vertical leap is all that good either!

You were away from the board for quite a while.
There were reports on here about the matter long ago!
