I'm telling everyone this...Howard is a decent CB when he's playing outside. His problem was that Nick was using him in the slot where he gets burned...Sam, can't play the slot either, it's very hard. I honestly wouldn't mind seeing Reggie Howard come back........after restructuring his contract and challenging for a starting CB position. All this hype about Will Poole, and we haven't even really seen much of him in game situations. He looked good last year, and even better (I hear) during offseason drills before he was hurt. But, him and Shirdonya Mitchell are both young, unproven CBs. Reggie Howard played well in Carolina, and played much, much better in the 2nd half. He's not worth his contract, but if it can't be restructured he's worth keeping, with what looks to be and young and inexperienced defensive backfield.
