Lofton and Hawthorne in coverage?

Hahahaha! Hilarous.

To the OP, Hawthorne played MIKE the year before he came to us and he was a good player in coverage. Not elite like Vilma was but above average. As for Lofton, he's a below average coverage player, simple as that. Not terrible but he's not the player you want in coverage a lot.

@ all. If there is a RB coming out of the backfiled with speed.....Lofton is the wrong person to have on him. Hes going to get there and lay a lick...but if ur expecting him to be within reach of the ballcarrier as soon as he catches it..ALA Bowman its not happening. Lofton is always a step or 2 behind in coverage and being 6'0 means that its easier to throw it over his head 2. One of the reasons id like to get a taller MLB to help clog up those lanes in the middle.
