Lol. No, he didn't say that. But that's exactly the reaction he'd have gotten. He was in a position where he couldn't blame anyone else. You just don't do that. Especially if you're that low on the depth chart.

He didn't have a choice but play out of position there. Did he see that Bigby was out of position? I don't know, but since he was, that was the best play he could make. I was absolutely amazed at how close Bell was to breaking up that play with the amount of time that Ben had to throw it. This one was on Bigby. Had he been in position and Bell would've gone with the same coverage, it's all on Bell.

The only thing more amusing than Rock's sarcasm in this thread was the failure of everyone else to catch it. Considering I caught Rock's point instantly, I guess I think more like Rock than I realized, and that's a scary thought.

What I wrote was a hypothetical. Pretty much what would've happened if he did blame Bigby. Just look at how you two reacted, it's pretty obvious that he couldn't blame anyone but himself there. He would've killed his GB career, otherwise.

Theres no way that Bell should be inside of that receiver. He should be outside that receiver so he can push him toward Atari Bigby. Bell should be more aggressive outside-in, so that he can see the quarterback and the man. With his back to the quarterback, you can lose sight of the receiver. He has to force the guy to his help. His help was toward the inside. Thats where Bigby was. Thats why a lot of people say use the sideline as your friend. In that case, even with that throw and that catch, it was a bad play from the start.

I don't get where the Harris is a bad tackler thing is coming from? He was one of the team leaders in tackles when he got injured this year and only had 1 missed tackle all year.

Highest tackle / miss ratio in the entire NFL out of CBs. Not bad for someone who isn't good at it.

(Before Dhazer jumps in with his usual response - I am NOT trying to say Al is the best tackling corner in the NFL. I just find it interesting that his effeciency would be so good since he is supposedly a bad tackler.)
