1) Houston is in his third year and is STILL makingrookie moves. To say that a coach had to tell a cornerback to turn his head is like telling a quarterback that he has to make passes. That is the most basic thing that any cornerback should know. That’s Pop Warner. And you can’t tell me that you think he’s developing. Wha

2) Tye Hill has not and I repeat has not shown us anything. He was benched for Grimes. I agree with you that Grimes is a good athlete and may be beeter at nickle back but that means he’s a #3 CB at best. I wouldn’t get rid of him but he is NOT a starter.

3) Jackson developing into a starter is not likely. He’s in nickle packages now. We both just agreed that Grimes is better at nickle. Jackson is extremely slow in both reaction to the ball and foot speed. Two things that decent CBs need. If they show the game again on NFL network, please watch it and you’ll see what I’m talking about

4) Williams was the best corner we have but guess what…he won’t be ready until about mid-season next year, an ACL injury takes at least a year to heal, and he’s going to be 31 coming off an injury.

I understand that you’re a fan, but you can’t keep looking through your rose-colored glasses. Nice try but no cigars.

IMO, both you guys have it right. We need to put more pressure on other QBs and get a solid #1 guy in the secondary. The rest should work itself out.

to the Giants game, particularly the first quarter, we had a pass rush but Eil still threw the ball all over the place. So the defense had to try to make some adjustments to account for the lack of corner play and they started hitting us underneath—Boss may ring a bell. So restated…our corners are not good and that needs to be first thing addressed in the off-season.

A bit of a weaker try and still no cigars.

I don’t know. You think at some point they’d start listening and trying what the coach tells them. The man is 9th all time with 58 INTs, something along those lines.

I know everyone’s saying Houston sucks this, or Grimes is too small that, but to be completely honest, I haven’t been watching the Birds on TV long enough to really know what a good DB is supposed to look like. I remember hearing on TV once, “A perfectly thrown ball cannot be defensed.” I saw a lot of undefensible balls thrown in the highlights of the game (minus everything thrown at Kevin Boss. I could make those throws).

I guess the best example would be Vontae Davis. The dude was covering Randy Moss like a champ against NE a couple weeks ago, at least until he got stiff armed. Will Allen is pretty good, too, but they’re both rookies if I’m not mistaken.

I’ve been saying this since before the season started. We need Asomugha and we need him now.
