What does he do for us?
Remember that kick off return that Arenas had in the buccs game?
Go back and look at who had the key block that sprung him loose.
Watch how many times Copper is one of the first players, if not the first player to get his ass downfield to make a tackle on kick off coverage.
As far as Horne goes, he had a 6 yard TD grab. Big deal. There was nothing special there that makes you say, "oh damn, that guy is a gamer".
He was simply in the right place at the right time. Verron Tucker coulda made that play. Even on the deep pass that was overthrown to him in the falcons game, Horne failed to extend himself to make the play. He short armed it. That could've been caught IMO had he extended himself. The guy's body was damn near perfectly vertical when he attempted to make the catch.
