                I'm not bashing Haden but that dude is one of the highest paid CB's in the NFL and he gets smoked a lot.

                Sorry, I just call it as I see it.

                He IS very well paid, but he isn't worth it

                I was at the game and he CAN NOT cover anyone bigger then him.

                When the Saints needed a big play, they looked to see who Haden was covering, and they threw that way

                Haden got burned atleast 6 times, he made 2 plays

                Not what I would call a shutdown cb

                        Grahm is 6'7 and no one in the league can cover him. Didn't Haden completely shut down AJ Green last year? I think the only receiver I can think of that normally dominates him is Brown. Thats one receiver out of all of them.

                              Agree... historically Haden has played tall WRs very well.

                              Besides the red zone plays, how many times was Haden matched up with Graham?

                                Haden had a chance to stop a RB for a 1 yard loss on 3rd and 1, and he failed. Haden got picked on all day.

                                The Saints made sure Haden was on Graham, because they knew Haden couldn't cover him.

                                So-called shutdown CB, don't get picked on like Haden does.

                                Haden is a good CB, but he is nowhere near a shutdown CB.

                                So-called shutdown CB's either make plays or they don't get thrown against, and Joe Haden isn't either. Teams LOOK to throw on him, and they make plays against him all day..

                                  Haden had a chance to stop a RB for a 1 yard loss on 3rd and 1, and he failed. Haden got picked on all day.

                                  The Saints made sure Haden was on Graham, because they knew Haden couldn't cover him.

                                  So-called shutdown CB, don't get picked on like Haden does.

                                  Haden is a good CB, but he is nowhere near a shutdown CB.

                                  Sherman got picked on today, and he's the undisputed best corner in the league.

                                    Haden is good but you're fooling yourself if you think he's elite.

                                    He gets burned a lot and anyone who can't see it is uh... visually impaired.

                                    Today was a great game, but Joe needs to tighten up against some of these better WR's

                                      EXACTLY

                                      I never said he was aweful. He's a good cb

                                      But he sure is NOT a lock down guy

                                      Joe Haden was picked on today more then Buster Skrine was, or our rookie cb was.

                                        He hardly played in preseason, give him a chance to get his sea legs

                                          Grahm is 6'7 and no one in the league can cover him. Didn't Haden completely shut down AJ Green last year? I think the only receiver I can think of that normally dominates him is Brown. Thats one receiver out of all of them.

                                          Haden had a chance to stop a RB for a 1 yard loss on 3rd and 1, and he failed. Haden got picked on all day.

                                          I wouldn't blame him for that, he had a tough angle on that tackle to stop the back on a dime. He made a couple big pops early on in the initial drives. He doesn't shy away from contact and isn't one of those DB's that leaps on the pile hoping to get credit for a partial tackle. He has good feet and can blanket receivers at times. He may have struggled today because of the whole hand check officiating. Probably would have preferred to play in front of Graham and hold one of his hands/arms down like the recent years, but played behind him as to not give up any big plays. The Saints had to work for all their yardage today, it's not like we got torched for quick strikes and big plays.

                                          Let Haden do his job, think it is still early to call him out in this differently officiated season for DB's.
