Atlanta just traded their CB Chris Houston to Detroit for a 6th rnd pick, and they will swap 5th rounders.

He got benched. He can't turn his head to find the football. He was a disaster in coverage. The rumor was he probably wouldn't have even made the team. He was a huge contributor to their horrible pass defense.

Too lazy to look up, but wasn't he a high draft pick recently?

Anyway, the whole "couldn't turn his head around" gave me shudders. I had visions of Duane Hawthorn and Mario Edwards in coverage there for a minute.

the guy was super fast... that is why he was drafted where he was but he was VERY raw for a CB

From what I recall from last year he was picked on quite a bit before they benched him.

Still what they got out of him after where they drafted him (Didn't they draft him in the 1st or 2nd round?) is a real loss on their part.

yeah I just looked them up I was thinking of #20 Grimes. he made some pretty impressive plays in some of the Falcon games I saw last season.
