i just don't see how hawkins can be blamed for not being able to stop a fade route to a 6'4 receiver with a perfect throw to the outside shoulder on a 4th and 1.

you have to break that pass up though given the situation, even if it means a PI penalty. He really didn't even attempt a play on the ball.

How wrong were all you people that said he was the best corner on our team midseason?

I said it, and I stand by what I said at the time. I now think PP is the best all around. Hawk has been screwing up lately, I counted 4 TDs in the past few games, and a few dropped INTs. He's also mixed in some good plays, hopefully the new DC can develop him. I ain't giving up on ya kid.

jai Eugene hasn't done anything less than hawkins yet he never plays and Hawkins doesn't come off the field. Hawkins gets burned rather easily and is extremely soft in tackling. At least PP and Jai make plays in the running game or tackle after the catch.

Hawkins
How wrong were all you people that said he was the best corner on our team midseason? He almost by himself lost the game against Arky.

Actually he succeeded in giving up 21 pts

The first TD was a great route by the receiver and then the last he got caught out of position on 4th and 1. I'm still pretty sure he's better than Eugene though.

Well I'm just saying Hawkins is our best option at this point. Peterson and Brandon Taylor are going to be a nice corner combo in a few years.
