Top Corners - What you Didn't Know.

[Bmore]

I found this very interesting, when I read this thread over at SG. Some corners (ex. Nnamdi) are expected toward the top but, others like Samarii Rolle and Corey Webster are over looked and in reality at the top.

What do ya'll think.

This is an article dedicated to the 25 CBs who are currently playing the best football. I look at many factors to determine what 25 CBs are playing the best football. Attempts (passes thrown at the CB), total yards (including penalty yards), yards per attempt (YPA), TDs allowed, incompletions forced, non forced incompletions, pass deflections, INTs, safety help, man/zone coverage, level of competition, efficiency, hot and cold streaks, and pass rush. This article is intended to open people’s eyes and minds as to who are truly the best CBs in the league. The number in parentheses is the players ranking from the previous week.

are you trying to say webster and rolle are on a level wit asomugha??? thats fucking ridiculous lol They play mostly zone, w/ safety help...and Nmandi is only thrown at 21 times ALL season....because everybody knows he's the best, Randy Moss taught him how to defend elite recievers while Randy was in Oakland, the guys is a monster and he plays on an island by his dam self prob over 90% of the time. These numbers look pretty good for others, but Nmandi is by far the best

[OnlyOneBeerLeft]

Well said, Asomugha is a flat out beast. He is on his own level now.

You must've heard that on ESPN, cuz they said that like a day ago on NFL live.

[Primetime]

I've been laughed at countless times when I say Al Harris and Charles Woodson are the best duo in football. Thank you for the proof.

[Magnetic Spectrum]

i thank the texans for the proof^^^^,nice to see carolina's nickle back and number one cb in the top

[Champ]

Corey Webster is the man bro

Well according to the stats posted, they combined only allowed 56 yards and a TD vs the Texans.

[Kuzzy Powers]

Oh. The Raiders have 3 of the best 25 CBs in the league, eh? I see how thats translated into success..

Allow me to redirect you to the offense.

[Kuzzy Powers]

Regardless.. Rout and Johnson are not top CBs, lol. This list is "scewed".

[Champ]

Can I get an actual link to the article?

[Yawkey Way]

Does Randy Mosses performance against Asomugha change anyone's opinons? I wouldn't say he's on his own level completely.

[corbin]

First 30 yard touchdown wasn't on Asomugha, they played zone and Randy got behind #27 Rashad Baker(2nd-string Strong Safety). Not sure what happen on the second touchdown, maybe a raider fan can tell me cause I stopped watching after awhile.
