Howard has had tight coverage for the most part this season... especially the last 6 or 7 games. PFF was labeling him as one of the worst CB's in the league which was BS.
The pick six was not a good throw but it was not as bad as Schlereth made it out to be. It was on the inside of the WR and should have been on the outside...off by 2-3 feet...which is a lot in the NFL, but Howard made a nice break on the ball and hauled it in. I've said it before and I'll say it again. I dont take picks for granted ever...Ive seen Miami DBs drop a lot of big, "gimme" INTs, especially in the last decade.
I think Howard is a solid CB with the arrow pointing up. Other than DT, I think CB with Howard, Tank, Lippett and dare I say McCain (who has upped his game immensely the last half dozen games) is our strongest corps.
saw more upside in x last year just with less consistent technique...this year its much more consistent technique less upside
