Thoughts on Hobb?

When the Jacksonville Jaguars face the Patriots Saturday night at Gillette Stadium in the AFC playoffs, their game plan should call for them to pick on Ellis Hobbs. Why not? Everybody else has. On a team with few discernible flaws, Hobbs has been singled out as a pass-defense pariah by some fans, writers, and talk-show hosts, the weak link opposite Asante Samuel. Hobbs has endured unwarranted and, at times, uneducated criticism. ... The chatty cornerback said he's never afraid to face the music if he messes up, but the only critics he answers to are his coaches and teammates. "It doesn't bother me," said Hobbs. "Those people, critics, whatever, they don't establish my job. They didn't get me here. They're not going to take me away. "What those coaches say, and those guys in there, that's who I'm worried about. When we look on film and we see things, we know what defenses we're in. We know who is supposed to make that play. -- Boston Globe
