I posted some of this in a different thread, but Nakamura has cemented himself as possibly the worst defensive starter on our team... possibly the worst player altogether and thus deserves a little extra attention for how horrible he is.
Exhibit A:
Nakamura is left all alone with Roddy White on his first TD reception. Granted, there's really no excuse for him being left all alone on an island with Roddy White to begin with, but he's the starter for a reason and should have been competent enough to close in on White instead of playing a quick, one man game of ring-around-the-rosie and allowing White to easily haul it in, uncontested.
Sherrod Martin's status on the sideline:
Exhibit B:
Nakamura is there again as White scores his second TD of the game. Now, I'm not sure who's job it was to cover White on this play, but nevertheless, it looks as if Nakamura also had a hand in letting White score. Mainly because it seems as if White was running a slant towards the middle and Nakamura allowed himself to be taken out of the play.
Sherrod Martin's status on the sideline: ;D
Exhibit C:
And here it is. The coup de grâce. The first blow from the hammer to the final nail in our coffin. The 59 yard bomb from the Falcons 1 yard line. Nakamura, once again, allows White to easily haul this pass in. Part of the blame can be laid on Norman for getting beat by White to begin with, but Nakamura would have been in a perfect position to knock this ball away. Instead, he decides it would be best to turn around and start strafing, full speed, 7 yards early... thus leading to him falling backwards prematurely and taking himself just out of reach from deflecting the pass.
Sherrod Martin's status on the sideline:
As you can see, Haruki Nakamura was a big contributor in 3 of the biggest plays by the Falcons yesterday. Yes, he did have that interception in the endzone... but ultimately, it comes nowhere close to redeeming how horrible he is as our starting FS. A crap-fest that inspired a new tune dedicated in his honor...

EVERYBODY!
When the ball's in the air,
You can bet he's not there
Thaaat's Ha-ru-kiiii
When the coverage is blown,
Then you know who got owned
