Larry Fitzgerald, Cardinals: Insert wide receiver facing the Jaguars here. The Jags have allowed the fewest receptions and receiving yards to slot receivers this year and are one of two teams yet to allow a touchdown to a WR lined up in the slot this season. In fact, in the past four games, they've allowed a TOTAL of nine receptions. Fitz is a Hall of Famer, but this column is about expectations, and it's easy to see why they are much lower this week than normal.


Obviously Fitz is better than any slot WR we've faced this year, but it really does help to show how well Colvin has been playing this season.  He may not be on their level as an outside corner, but he's played as well as a slot corner as they have as outside corners.

I'd agree that Colvin has played his role just as well. None of them get tested much regardless. The entire Secondary is rock solid. They all good.

Most of the passing yards that have been put up on this Defense (and it hasn't been much) has either been dump offs to the RB, or over the top of a LB.

It will be interesting to see if Colvin, who went through all of the losing these past 3 years, will want to stay here or try and chase the money. I think he'd still get a fairly solid contract here and I think it'd be real foolish for him to want too leave now.
