I like Huff but Mustapha has made him expendable. We need a real fast FS to compliment 6.

Not sure what you think is funny. I don't find Hufanga's s**tty tackling funny, nor Mustapha's.

I was gonna say. We got all these experts in here saying he sucks in both coverage and tackling. Must be the first safety in NFL history to suck at both and still make first team all pro lol

Because he freelanced for interceptions.
People who value the wrong things for football players vote for that kind of thing.

I like the way Huf approaches the game. I don't see him as a bad player like some. He looks alive when he is on the field

Pretty good freelancing then to be in the right place at the right time that often. Nothing to do with IQ/Instincts

Polamolu must be horrible. Gotta stop putting these free lancers in the hall of fame. JJ crybaby Whaa was frequently a freelancer also dude was ass

Not when he frequently blows coverages when he does it.

LMAO. WHAT?!
All Pro is awarded by SPORTS WRITERS...a bunch of nerds who usually know nothing about the game.

"Frequently" is a stretch. Jaiir Brown frequently blows coverages. All-22 don't lie when it comes to safety play and you see what isn't seen on televised version. Every safety in the history of the game blows coverages, comes with the position and is a risk that must be taken at times to make game changing plays one way or the other. As the expert; I assume you know this.

Polamalu was a freak athlete and smart enough to pull it off.
Hufanga is neither of those things. He's a limited player who tries to compensate with big plays.
You don't want flashy, inconsistent players on defense. Fans go crazy for guys like this and then wonder why the defenses they play for still suck.

Doesn't change the fact that Huf is a playmaker, but often injured. Deserved the all pro nod that year even though he's barely a top 10 safety imo

Yeah, no. Give me Jimmy Ward and Jaquiski Tartt any day.
