I'm confused. I seem to remember a lot of the talk about Cunningham from earlier this season, wanting him to be cut or traded. Or that it was a mistake to give him the contract extension. I don't understand why people are coming out and saying that this is a bad move now. They tried to trade him, and couldn't, so.....c'ya, wouldn't want to be ya.
The only positive things I remember hearing about him is that he is good in run defense. Conversely, I've also hear how bad he is in pass defense. If he was so good in run defense, why was the Texans defense so bad at stopping the run? Was the rest of the defense that bad? Possibly. Maybe my memory is faulty, but I don't remember him having an overabundance of stops at or behind the LOS. I seem to recall most of his stops coming after the RB has already gained 3 or 4 yards, or more.
