Re: Ladarious Webb
Let me rephrase. I am aware why he is no longer on Houston, my point is I don't think he could have played any worse than Zibby. Zibby is running around like he has cement in his shoes, and to me more important he does not lay the wood.
I would have liked to see us put Pollard out there just so he could level a receiver that came across the middle, to make them think twice about doing it. Did you see the hit Robinson put on Maclin last night, you think that hit Maclin took did not play into why he dropped a crucial 4th down pass, he felt foot steps.
I'm not saying Pollard would have shut down the passing attack, but having a guy out there that couldn't cover or lay a hit tells me it's time for a change!Hating Steeler Fans Since Birth

Re: Ladarious Webb
Webb bites way too much on the first move by WRs.. All you do is run a stop and go on him and he is toast.

Re: Ladarious Webb
Man, I think this thread is just completely off-base. He's not a shut-down corner, but I don't know why anyone would think he would have to be one to be a solid corner in this league. Webb plays a very solid corner. He's a sure tackler, doesn't give up much in YAC, will make occasional plays on the ball, etc. There's absolutely no way he should be converted to safety. With a fully healthy set of corners, he's one of the best nickle corners in the NFL if not the best, and would be a solid starter on most NFL teams. You don't convert guys like that to safety.
Yesterday was in no way on him. Foxworth was getting toasted regularly, and Carey Williams also had a pretty bad game. Even Reed looked pretty bad.

Re: Ladarious Webb
All Pollard did when he was at safety this year was make plays (although it was preseason), but Zibby just seems to be a warm
body out there. He never gets to the qb when he blitzes and he never seems to be around the ball.
IMO Zibby, McClain and T Smith all need to be replaced. They are giving us nothing. McClain looked like he was a stud early on at olb, but he is another one where you never hear his name called.
And T Smith, has he made a play yet this year (including preseason)? You activate Laquan and not Doss who could contribute on offense and probably could do just as good a job as a gunner. I could see if Laquan was returning kicks or punts, that could probably justify this move but I doubt the coaches would put him
back there.

Re: Ladarious Webb
Webb will give you some moments where he looks like he could be a very good physical cover man. Then he'll bite on a double move the next series. If he could ever put it together he'd be a true #2 CB.

Re: Ladarious Webb
Wait, we aren't supposed to be freaking out about every little thing?
Does this mean I shouldn't have been ordering my Super Bowl tickets this time last week?

Re: Ladarious Webb
Webb just doesn't match up well against 6'3" 220lb receivers. Not many do though.
When Britt was on Cary Williams he still made some plays, but Britt really started taking over the game when they got him with 1-on-1 coverage against Foxworth and Webb. Webb was great last week against Hines Ward and Mike Wallace.
I'm just trying to figure out why Pagano didn't flat out tell Cary that he's lined up against Britt regardless of where he goes on the field. That would have been the most optimal match up for us.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.
