completely disagree. He had no idea that reciever was coming and with a ball lobbed up that much your not going to charge it because you might overrun it. If the receiver gets there 1 second later thats a pick. We defended that play as well as you can, they just got bailed out with a little luck.

 

lol - Hope kinda needs to know where the WRs are. Its a basic element to being a safety

 

Ravens did this as their first offensive play in the 2nd half on Sunday and it went for a TD. Safeties totally sold out on the run and it couldn't have worked any better.

 

All of the Chris Hope hate on this board is ridiculous. The guy has had TWO bad deep plays all year. Everyone neglects that he knocked away a deep pass intended for Maclin later in the game, had he not it would have been a surefire touchdown.

 

Good post. That play was just as good as the other play was as bad.

 

I'm not saying you specifically, but a week or two ago someone wanted to put Fuller in at safety instead of Hope. Never mind that Fuller has never played safety in a regular season game for this team.

I just don't get it. He's been a very solid player, consummate professional and is the quarterback of the secondary.

I's he getting older? Yes. Are there more athletic safeties out there? Yes. Has his play been bad enough to be benched? Hell no.

 

Chris Hope isn't great in pass coverage, but he's average at worse, and he is a pretty good run stopper. I wouldn't be calling for his replacement personally.

 

If it weren't for that insane performance by DeAngelo Hall against Jay Cutler Hope would lead the league in interceptions... He has 4 on the year. Hell, he had one in the Eagles game... The very idea of being down on that guy... it's crazy. As for that trick play... sure, he was camped out on the spot like a center fielder but the wr came from his blind side. The dude jumped across him. Hope is a good player and I'm proud he's a Titan...

Remember Tank Williams? Remember Lamont Thompson?

STFU!!
