Oct 10, 2007 Demarcus Faggins sucks, Faggination, Secondary issues are primary, The Fred

Is there a word for a situation in which you are pissed at how long something took but incredibly pleased with the end result? I can’t think of one, so I am just going to make one up: fagginated.

For example, suppose you were at your favorite steakhouse and you ordered a porterhouse. Forty-five minutes later, you still haven’t received your steak and you are angry. However, when you get the steak, it is literally the best steak you’ve ever eaten. You could then say that you were “fagginated with the steak.”

Of course, I bring this up because–as first noted by Tim–the Texans are pleased with Fred Bennett’s corner play and pleased with Petey Faggins‘ play at nickel on passing downs. I am so fagginated by this development that I am literally beside myself with faggination.

“It was a very good suggestion from our head coach,” secondary coach Jon Hoke said[.] “It gave Fred a chance to play, and I thought Petey responded in the right way. He stepped up and performed very well.”

Faggins, who had been pulled against Atlanta the previous week after committing a series of costly penalties, started at left corner, but Bennett spelled him every third series. In passing situations, Faggins moved inside and became the nickel back while Bennett stayed on the corner. While neither played flawlessly, both had their moments, and the Dolphins were held to 146 yards passing.

Brilliant! Seriously, though, the coaching staff has come to the (shocking!) conclusion that playing our best nickel back at nickel back and letting someone less bad play the corner position might just be the way to go. The reason this fagginates me is because I said the same thing…on September 24. Not that I expect anyone to listen to me, but if it is that obvious to some fool blogger, it’s not exactly rocket surgery.
