I think that goes to the cruxes of my post. The game has/is changing. The old time TE is evolving into what amounts to a heavier WR and offenses are going to 4 & 5 receiver sets. While you bring in more DBs for the 4 & 5 receiver sets, you still keep a couple of LBs in to protect against the run. These guys need to be faster than LBs of say 10 years ago were.

The typical fan of the Texans is always berating the DBs. I'm not sticking up for them here, because I think as a group they are below average. But in pass coverage, so is the LB corps, yet they get almost none of the flack from the fans. And the typical fan doesn't realize how easy it is for most NFL starting QB's to pick apart pass coverage if they have pleanty of time to throw, so our poor pass rush is a big factor too. Pass defense is an 11 man job.

I wonder what would happen if Faggins was inserted into the Giants backfield. I think he would get more help from the other ten guys on the field and his suckiness would not be noticed nearly a much as it has been here in Houston.
