Quote:I disagree, I think house is a solid CB at best though. definately the best on our roster

 

That being said, he got smoked by hopkins... was always a step behind and looked gassed all game

 

 

I like house but I hate that we had to pay so much just to get C players at best ( House, Brown, Odrick)

He was smoked by Hopkins because Bradley thought for some reason that leaving a B-tier corner in single coverage against one of the top five receivers in the league for 60 minutes was a good idea. House held up well until the fourth quarter, by which point just about anyone would be struggling to stay in single coverage with Hopkins.

 

House kind of felt like a stretch when he signed. In the end, we overpaid--you always do for free agents--but I think that he has, on the whole, been a great boost to the corner position here. He and Colvin could be a solid tandem for a long time.

 

Odrick has no one on the entire line to take the pressure off of him. Let's get a healthy, competent line out there and see how he does. I suspect he's better than what we've seen thus far, and with a better nose tackle--i.e., not Roy Miller--alongside him, he may yet prove to be as good a five-tech end as Seattle's Michael Bennett is.

 

Brown was never really envisioned as a long term fix to begin with, IIRC. He was seen as an upgrade over Josh Evans in the short term, and a band-aid while the team finds a long-term answer for the position.
