And trying to compare Hali's coverage responsibilities as a weakside LBer (as you've noted, he does nothing in coverage) to the SOLB who oftentimes will be tasked with covering the TE is equally absurd.
That's why I'm not exactly sure what the hell point you're trying to make here. Houston
was given actual legitimate coverage responsibilities and he did a pretty damn good job with them especially in light of the fact that we had no DJ all season, who was our top coverage linebacker and in his absence we asked Houston to do more.
I feel like you're just arguing because you feel compelled to do so but you don't seem to actually be making any salient points here.
