I was at the game yesterday and Archuleta did not play that bad. On TV you do not see the defensive backfield and you do not get to see what the defense is doing. I was paying extra attention to Archuleta at this game and he made a great play on a sweep/reverse. Arch had coverage responsibilty on the right side of the defensive backfield and the Texans ran a sweep to the the right side (left side of the defense). The Texans blocked it perfectly and sealed the DE, LB and CB on that side. It looked like the runner was going to break a huge run. Archuleta showed great speed and ran all the way from the opposite side of the field and forced the runner back inside where his teamate made the tackle for a short gain. You could not see that on TV.
I am not an Archuleta fan and was not crazy when we picked him up, but I watched him for most of the game and he played a respectable game.

There are other players that are playing worse than he is.

I love Cooley, but there is something wrong with him. He could not block yesterday. At one point I saw a small skinny CB put him on his ass. On several other plays he would put his hands on the player he wanted to block and just gave up. HIS BLOCKING WAS TERRIBLE! If he is going continue to block like that Gibbs needs to take him out on run plays.
Mike Sellers on the other hand blocks like a mad man!
