Is it me or does it seems like this kids balls has dropped off? Not only does he skip trying to tackle receivers by going for the strip and letting them get another 5-10 yards, but when he does try to tackle someone he gets flat run the frick over.

I am usually not one to speak against these young men, but he has completely regressed and while he is supposed to be our best DB.. he looks like the weakest link out there and he doesn't have youth as an excuse.

Is anyone seeing anything different than what I am seeing on TV? I most likely won't make any live games this year.

I just thought it was a classy move when he ran over to the Mizzou players at the end of the game, who were going into the tunnel, and tried to shake hands with whoever would reach back.

He's had some good plays this year, and he's had some bad plays. I'm sure when he gets his NFL advisory letter back it will be a shock and he might reconsider leaving.

He got run over a few times in the Mizzou game.

The thing about Vic is that he constantly makes bad plays, yet when he finally makes a tackle or something, whether it be after a sack or 15 yard gain, he still runs his mouth. Drives me crazy.

He is trying to fill that smack talk void left by DJ Swearinger, but at least DJ could back it up.

As a Falcons fan, he reminds me of D'angelo Hall.

Hampton was never, ever a big hitting CB....he wasn't thought as such even when recruited. His specialty is as a cover corner, getting into the jersey of opposing WRs and sticking to them and disrupting pass plays. Not delivering the big hit, or playing physical.

He's pretty much playing to that role....
