We will soon see, I would love to be proven wrong and I would love for him to play the game without getting so many pass interference calls. It's not his physical ability to run with receivers nor his ability to play aggressive that is in question. But rather his ability to keep his hands off of wide receivers and to get his head turned around to make a play on the ball that, I have not seen from him yet. Again, I truly hope that I am wrong in that going into next year, if he is still on the team, he can get his head around to make a play on the ball and not grab and pull receivers. If he does not stop that behavior no matter what he will be released from the team. One other thing, I would love for him to get out of the number one spot for most penalized corner back in the league. The team cannot afford those 15 yard penalties that seem to always be at the wrong time.

I can hardly see a scenario where Breaux is released anytime soon. Secondly, what source did you find out that DB is the most penalized CB in the league? Per NFL tracker, JOSH NORMAN (12) has been flagged far more this season and I'm 100 % certain the Redskins aren't considering cutting him . Circle back to last week's game in Tampa. There were penalties across the board that are biting us. Unnecessary roughness by Harper, Stephone mugging the RB, Hills crucial holding call on the 1 inch line, Peat hold on a fg attempt etc, etc. Same can be said about penalties in the KC game (10-75) as well. It's a team effort on penalties and we are failing.

See NFL penalty tracker link below.

By the way, welcome to B&G
