Sensabaugh (Haden's Replacement) Is No Scrub Either

Joe Haden broke his fibula on Sunday in the Pittsburgh Steelers' victory over the Indianapolis Colts, and while many fans have treated the injury as if the sky is falling, Coty Sensabaugh is not exactly a typical replacement player. He was a starter for years with the Titans...

Well he is better than a lot of backups we have had in the past. He was more than likely going to be the starter, up until the Joe Haden deal went down at the end of pre-season

 

Not bad, but definitely a step down......
My dream scenario is Sutton and allen develop quickly and step up late in the yr.

 

We will be fine. I thought Sensabaugh was a giant at one time

 

I thought he played well after Haden got hurt. High Hopes for him. Hope Haden is back soon like he says.

 

Yea. Looks like we'll be alright at that position

 

Sens is better than burns probably

 

that was Gerald? played for the Jags went to the Giants

 

He played well. We sure needed it. Now if he could teach Artie some things...

 

He sure looked good last night.

 

Didn’t he give up a big play or was that Davis fault?

 

Bring back Blake...

 

He did

 

He took blame for it after the game but I was asking in game thread where was the safety and Ask Questions said it was Davis fault. Those are the types of things that cost us against the Cheats. Offense is going to have to put up 30-40 to beat them anyways.

 

Well it was either sensy or davis. communication breakdown if you ask me

 

agreed. If we get home field we can beat them. Need to score 35 as I believe they will score 30. When Brady NEEDS to score you bet your butt he will. I just want our defense to rattle some drives and make him dirty. Then our offense needs to finish.

 

Need the front 4-5 get consistent pressure without blitzing and the odds go way up.

 

i wouldn't be opposed to sensabaugh and haden as starters when joe comes back. i think they could be a better duo.

 

An excellent film break down of Sensabaugh's pick last night.

golden should be better than he is. there were guys running free deep that mariota didn't see. missed tackles, no safety in the middle of the field on those deeps. why no wilcox last night? we will need better safety help next year. i hope we draft well. we got lucky on some of those plays. love the win but man alive.

 

Except for that 75 yd TD he gave up, no safety help either .

 

Coty has played in a multi arrary of coverages.


I personally doubt he had trouble being the "next man up" given the fact he has starter experience.


Granted, he does face the likes of Jordy Nelson and Devante Adams; Artie Burns the same. Within the same vein, Brett Hundley is playing and not Aaron Rodgers.



That being said, Joe can take his time nusring his injury. Coty will be able to hold on until Joe gets back.

 

To beat the best you have to be the best. Average qbs will fold under pressure but good ones won’t. Secondary has to get up to par for the postseason while pass rush churns on. Offense got to be nasty

 

I expect Hundley to learn from week to week, but he didn't look too great when under pressure yesterday. True, he can scramble (I expect this to cause us some headaches if the LBs get into over-pursuit mode), but he also tends to hesitate on his throws which should be a red rag to the likes of Watt and Dupree.

 

Personally I can't believe Golden is starting over Wilcox
