    Loved what he did at Houston in the forth quarter.

    IDK.. i think this kid could come to play when we're defending against an offense in the red zone. I liked what I saw out of him in terms of reading the play, and his quickness and aggressiveness, and consistency in making the tackles on that one drive.

    I certainly haven't seen enough from him to even think of pleading his case as a starter in place of Harper, but i think he's atleast earned the chance to be looked at again and considered when it comes to defending in tight spaces.

    I am a bit confused, I was under the impression that Harper was better in the redzone, because he couldn't be beat over the top.

    the redzone is no place to start experimenting with one of the best redzone defenses.

    Harper is a great CB in the redzone.

    Even my girl that is stingy with compliments says good things about Eric.;)

    And I've "heard" a Titans exec. talking about the need to sign him to a solid 3-5 year deal.

    I like King also. I was watching him close in the Rams preseason game, and liked how he plays. He played almost the whole game, including in the 1st.

    But Harper is better in the redzone than in the open field, because he's not as fast as he used to be. Its easy for him to end up chasing the receiver, but in the RZ he can use his hips and cover skills to stay in front of receivers.
