I don't want to pick on one player. The loss to Carolina was a team loss, disappointing in almost every way.
But, I have noticed that X. Howard doesn't seem to be locating the ball very well and opposing quarterbacks are throwing in his area with a lot of confidence. Now, let me first say I've watched only the nationally televised games this year --- New Orleans, New York Jets, Oakland and Carolina. So I haven't seen all the tape out there on Howard and want opinions from those of you who have.
Howard seems to have good coverage, sometimes great coverage, but then doesn't look for the ball leading to a lot of big plays. Has anyone else noticed this?
Howard is a young player so maybe this is a coaching issue, or maybe I'm off base. Opinions?
