CB Antwan Molden

This guy was a 3rd round draft choice 3 years ago. With all the problems we are having in the secondary, why aren't they playing him? Or if they are not going to play him, cut him and put somebody on the roster that can.

Its not the personnel its the lame scheme. Even if we were to have Revis we would still be getting beat if he were to line up like our CBs are lining up. Also, we are not getting pressure on the QB. Look at the turnovers that the Jets cause. They rattle the QB and then the QB makes a poor throw that gets picked. We saw a glimpse of that when Cushing forced Eli into making a poor throw that got picked by KJ. We should do a whole lot more of that and be more aggressive with the blitzes.

We certainly agree on that Fonz. It almost seems like the coaches are too lazy (or inept) to really prepare these players properly from game to game.

It has been said that the coaches only coach, the players have to play the game. But if their gameplan is weak, how can they possibly play up to their potential?

I think it's safe to assume that Molden hasn't exactly been shutting receivers down in practice if he's not getting any game action at CB at this point. He has been playing on special teams.

I wonder if the Texans have given any thought to bringing Jacques Reeves or Fred Bennett (who was recently waived by the Chargers) back in. Neither is the solution but they know the defense and maybe a veteran presence would help settle things down.

I agree that more pressure would make the secondary look a lot better.

or maybe CB are really young, need experience, and get confused by varying offenses and a little more practice and learning they will improve.

maybe lack of pressure on QB gives them lots of time to pick apart defense.

Molden looked real good in practices and preseason till he got hurt.

Neither has Kareem Jackson and he still gets the start every week...

Big difference between KJ and Molden. If Molden was the real deal he would be starting right now. KJ barely has 5 starts under his belt.
