Quote:Roasted? Because that great defensive mind Bob Babich said he played better after the benching? The guy who played Gratz ahead of McCray? Next you'll be citing Matt Millen about draft grades.


 

It was a puff piece. I saw House play all season. There was no significant difference between the first and second half of the season. He was a good, not great corner before he was benched, and a good, not great corner after he got his job back.

 

I agree.   I was a little baffled by the benching, because it seemed pretty obvious to me that his difficulties stemmed from a lack of pressure on the QB.  When they put him back out there, he was the same guy, a pretty decent CB.   I was surprised that he took the benching so well.   A lot of guys would have complained about it but he stayed positive throughout the whole thing.
