Suspect Safety Play

been saying this since game 1, he stinks


he needs to be cut

We are still feeling the affects of loosing Sean Taylor.

Reed Doughty and Horton are backups for a reason. I think Moore being more athletic and more physical will make a difference.

Well, this is obvious. Reed has a good heart and is a nice guy, but he just does not have the talent. It's really not the AJ play on the 4th down--that's one that AJ is going to make. He's a monster. And the throw was amazing--watch it again if you can stomach it.

We need to upgrade. Moore may be the guy, but we have NO idea at this point until he plays a few games. And obviously, this is part of the depth problem that Vinny kindly left us with. We are being exposed when our starters go down. That's gonna take years to fix, I'm afraid.

And as scowan says, man, if that's #21 back there, ya gotta believe we get a different ending. RIP, Sean. We miss you, man.

So when Moore comes back, does he solve all our problems or will he be the next goat?

Are you arguing that he doesn't suck?

Are you arguing that he doesn't suck?

He's clearly not our only issue. And I don't think he's as bad as some are trying to make him out to be.

I hope Moore is the magic cure as some seem to think. I really do.

We are still feeling the affects of loosing Sean Taylor.

You know I was thinking the same thing as I was watching guys run free yesterday. He was best football player and one thing this team needs is more athletes.

I'm sure some people do but not me.
You can't be mad at Doughty on the 4th and 10 play.
Andre Johnson wins that jumpball matchup against any DB in the league.
My question is why didn't Buchanon stay with Andre?
It kinda negates the purpose of a double team if the other DB drops coverage.


Now they have to go back and re-examine the coverage and what the HECK was Buchanon thinking!I can think of one DB who wins that jump ball. Go to 2:25 of the following:

That was a jump ball against a young Randy Moss!!!

K. Moore has shown some ability when he's played, I've always felt he was the best FS on the team. He is better in coverage than Doughty.

Let's not jump all over Doughty though (no pun intended). That 4th & 10 play was a great one by AJ. Buchanon didn't stay w/AJ cause it looked like they were playing zone/ cover 2 & the safety had over the top coverage. It actually looked like the coverage was executed almost perfectly.

Carlos Rogers seemed to think that every time a completion was made near him that someone else was responsible for coverage there. It was pretty easy for Schaub on a lot of plays, on others he threw tight into coverage & got completions.

This zone scheme left a lot of holes open, just as it did last week (e.g. Austin's 31 yrder on 4th & 10). I don't attribute it to the safeties, it looks like the whole system isn't working. Could be just a matter of time & learning it, or maybe there's a reason Haslett's defenses have given up a lot of yards in the past?

Zones have natural soft spots and right now we're getting picked apart, granted by good QBs and WRs. Haslett has been super aggressive with the front 7 and might need to start dialing that back a bit.
