I loved Brandon Carr as a player and still wish he was here.
But Routt has filled in nicely. That interception was huge and was a nice play. |

Routt's been okay. Get flowers back to 100% and get lewis back on the field and we're in good shape.

Yep. The int was Brees not Routt, but the important thing is he's not a liability.

Routt was in great position ... better than we've had all year and he made the catch. If anything we lulled Brees into expecting NO coverage and then nailed him for it.

Routt couldn't have been in a better spot than he was there. He's not a perfect player by any means. He isn't Revis, he isn't Carr, he isn't Flowers. He's an above average cover corner that has the size to deal with some of the bigger WRs in the league and that athletic skills to make plays on balls like that. He's a nice #2 cornerback. The Warfield comparisons are actually pretty fair. Chiefs fans blast him, but the worst thing Warfield ever did was replace Dale Carter (who Chiefs fans also blasted for no good reason despite him being one of the top 10 CBs in football). Warfield was a long, athletic corner who would take risks that got him burned on occasion. For the most part he did his job and was a solid CB. The problem was that he was asked to be a #1 here and was never up for the task. Routt, on the other hand, is only asked to be what he's capable of being - a sound second CB. He'll be just fine there.

The ball was underthrown by a couple of steps which made it easier but Routt was in perfect position regardless.

It was a combination of a poor throw and good play by the DB, like most INT.

Yup. Being in the correct position allows you to make INTs on poorly thrown balls...who'da thunk it?

I never thought he was a problem. Pretty much every time I've seen him "beat" this season it was due to a soft, zone scheme with no pressure on the QB OR just a great pass/route.
Dude's is not a problem. |

Routt is ok
I just wish our defense didn't look so lost sometimes.
