Bowen was victimized early and often last year. If he was worth anything, the Packers would never have let him go.

OK I went back and watched the highlight. Smoot went for the interception whcih was a thrown to the slot reciever in the flat. This was not a long throw but more like a 7 yard out pattern which smoot just missed. He had deep resposibility on #84 who champ supposly had locked up. If you watch the play Champ got abused by the reciever in the blocking. When Bowen cam accross to get him he got tied up by Champ's inabilities.

He defiently took a bad angle at Ricky on the run, I give you that. Bit hard towards the weakside and then had no chance.

I think he has been the best of all safties for awhile which does not say alot. But he is a starter and can rock the recievers which gives them that fear of going accross.
