I've been a staunch defender of Houston for some time now, but seeing him quit on that play last week was the last straw for me. Trade him for whatever you can get for him. I put a 4th and swap of 6th's in my mock. I don't see them getting much more than that to be honest. Maybe a 3rd. Surely not a 2nd.

Which play?

Houston did a lot of contain stuff last week because Russell Wilson is Russell Wilson. He just kind of strafed the LOS when Wilson would roll or slide toward him.

I was on a TD run by the RB. Later in the game iirc. Pretty sure someone also posted a video of it in the Lounge but not sure. He basically stopped playing and watched the guy run in when he was close enough to at least make an attempt at tackling him before he got to the end zone. It was a bullshit play on his behalf.

He's actually talking about the Seahawk's first TD of the game.

Houston fights through an OL. It's actually hilarious the ease with which Houston just throws this dude to the side, but unfortunately Houston ended up throwing the guy in the direction that the rusher was running so it effectively sealed him off from making the play..

But that wasn't a lack of effort. People just see what they want to see.

Bullshit. He had the tackle beat while Carson was still at the LOS and then didn't make any step towards the ball carrier. He stood there. The tackle was beyond him to the end zone side and not directly impeding his progrees. It was not a complete lack of effort, but he didn't close down the line like he should have to make the tackle. There was no reason the OT should have recovered more quickly than it would have taken Houston to step in and make the tackle, or at least an attempt at the tackle. It's a classic case of what is wrong with the entire defense. They may make the play to get into a good position to close but then they just stop and wait as if the ball carrier will come to them. I'm tired of watching it.
