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.

Can you provide evidence that Houston is actually asked to do more than drop a few yards and stand? Looking at his coverage stats, the passes he is defending are all very close to the LOS. For instance, in the Buffalo game he gave up 34 yards on passes, and 39 yards were after the catch. That means the average pass he was defending was caught behind the line of scrimmage. I'm not sure I've ever seen an LB go cover someone one-on-one in the backfield.
