Matt Weston reviews the performance of Houston's oldest defensive back through the first three games and shares concerns about what we have seen so far this season.
We need to talk about Johnathan Joseph. The 19th highest paid cornerback in the NFL looks old. At age 31, he is, in football terms, old. In positions where speed and quickness are a foundation of the game, it's evident when athleticism dips.
The past two weeks, Joseph has had a spotlight engulfing him. Against Kansas City, he sat with a deep cushion and watched as screen passes were thrown underneath him and missed tackles after ducking his head before contact in the open field.
