Brandon Flowers
 
Why would anyone besides Brandon Flowers ever have an opportunity to cover Andre Johnson? Flowers whipped his ass all day every time he covered him. Other than the reverse pass interference call I'm not sure that Flowers even allowed Johnson to make a catch. Carr and everybody else that tried to cover him kept getting burned. Same thing last week. Why was Flowers not covering Reggie Wayne all day? He is obviously their best corner and it seems like a no-brainer that he should be covering the other team's best receiver.

I've thought the same thing....

Because they just leave the CB's on their sides, the other teams know this so they move their WR's to get the matchups they want.

Bwana 10-17-2010 03:19 PM

Indeed

Bambi 10-17-2010 03:19 PM

Didn't Johnson beat Flowers on the final TD catch?

I'm not sure but I thought it was...

L.A. Chieffan 10-17-2010 03:20 PM

Carr didnt do a bad job.

Its Andre Johnson, the guy is probably the best WR in the game, hes gonna get his.

They were in a zone.

Johnson ran to the safety, cut it back out. Throw was over Carr who was playing underneath.

Johnson simply found the open spot in the zone.

I get that, but what is the logic behind it? Why would you not put your best corner on their best WR every single play?

ILikeBigTiddys 10-17-2010 03:24 PM

We're trying to pad Flowers stats

Jerm 10-17-2010 03:24 PM

Speaking of Flowers, best CB in the NFL right now?

I think you could make the argument...he's def. top 3.

Pro Bowler.

I can see that point. I'm just taking a while stab at it here but what does that mean if Flowers is all day locked up with Johnson. What about when a zone is called? What if Johnson lines up in the slot? What zone is Brandon then suppose to cover? Can you even coordinate that correctly on the fly?

Ex:

Zone D is called. However, Flowers always lines up against Johnson (if not, then the O knows we're in zone). Don't know where Johnson is lining up until it's too late.

Well, other than the Jets have 2 on their team that are better you may be right.

Cromartie is definitely NOT better than Flowers.

Flowers should be covering the Andre Johnson zone.

Jerm 10-17-2010 03:31 PM

Right now, Revis isn't better than Flowers.

So true. I hate to say it but this KU guy is kinda dumb.

Bambi 10-17-2010 04:05 PM

So much for Revis being hurt, lol

Actually Berry got beat AGAIN on that play.

Both of their passing TD's were Berry's responsibility.

Top 3. Easily. Flowers is better than Cromartie, and Revis at this point. Revis is not the same guy as he was last year. I've watched all of the Jets games in which he's played. Flowers has by far out played him.

Flowers almost had a pick six, today. One that would probably have sealed the game. He played a great game, overall.

But the thing I liked most was the fire he displayed when he was jobbed by that horrific PI call. These guys want to win ... and badly.

I can clearly recall the Dark Days Of Herm when guys were basically saying, "Well, they get paid to play, too ... blah, blah, blah ..." The entire attitude of this team has done a 360, then a couple of 90s. I dig it.

I like the fire too. I was afraid he was itching for a 15 yard penalty though. I loved how Haley tried to calm him down and get his head back in the game.

...and then went right back to ripping the ref for him. He was like, "You go play, being an angry ****er is my job." :thumb:
