Top Corners - What you Didn't Know.

[Yawkey Way]

i wasn't tlaking about just the 2 touchdowns, Nmadi was matched up with him all day long in man, and Moss beat him to his spot consistently through out the game.

 

[dboy_dc]

I'm surprised that M. Jenkins beat out T. New and O. Scandrick... they both been playing their ass off.

Would you like me to rephrase the title as "Corners that are currently playing the best?"

Scewed, please elaborate how they are scewed.

The stats list almost everything you would want to know about a corner.

Id like for you to give me something more solid. Correction to what you said.. this list tells me tTHINGS I need to know about THOSE corners. not everything.. and those are just the corners listed. Furthermore, the way zone coverage is run in the NFL, its damn near impossible to put blame strictly on CBs or give credit strictly to CBs. The secondary relies on help from others so much.

I really like how Rout, Johnson & Namdi faired against the Patriots tho. The list is scewed because it doesnt recognize everyone's talents.. it doesnt take into account the help received by safeties or other corners. And I mean, theres some Nickel backs on there that dont even get to see the field NEARLY as much as starters and they make the list.

Anything else you'd like me to explain? Did you write it yourself? If so I commend you for your efforts. Still scewed tho.

I'm saddened to not see Champ on the list.....maybe its true, he's past his prime.

Interesting article. Nice to see Sheldon Brown getting some of the recognition he deserves.

 

[Champ]

Corey Webster is the best

I haven't watched Asomugha much this year, but the way people talked about him made me think he was much better than he actually is.

You are right, Moss beat him all day. The Touchdowns aren't the only things that matter, Asomugha could not cover Randy Moss, period. I don't know if Moss had something to prove - which I'm sure he did - but I really thought Asomugha could shut him down, or at least slow him down.

You guys really have no clue about what you are talking about.

Moss had 5 catches for 67 yards and 2 touchdowns against the Raiders. One of his touchdowns, the 9 yard reception, was on Rashad Baker and Gibril Wilson. The second TD, a 20 yard completion, was on Jason Horton. You take away those 2 TDs and Moss has 3 catches for 39 yards. I know he caught at least one out route on Nnamdi and I can't remember the other 2 but even if they were on Nnamdi that means he gave up 3 receptions and 39 yards to Randy fucking Moss. That is nothing.

Don't talk about stuff you have no clue about.

And here are the highlights for Moss's TDs vs Oakland just for evidence.

I saw Nnamdi shut down steve smith last year. I am still amazed.

The stats dont even show how dominant Nnamdi was on smith. You may say delhomme sucked that game, but he sucked because he was locking in on smith and Nnamdi forced him to go else where, or force the ball to smith and get picked.

not sure if this vid shows everything

Brandon Flowers is legit.

 

[Bmore]

Jeez who brought this old ass thread back?

 

[Wrath]

I think Ike Taylor is the most underrated corner is the league because he has the size speed and can tackle as well as any corner -- very fearless player out there too. I would also recommend you guys keep your eyes on Leodis Mckelvin from the Bills he is gonna be the real deal soon.

 

[Realist]

Hood is on this list?? he's not good at all. Average at best.

 

[Realist]

THIS IS LIKE A POWER RANKING OF CORNERS. IT GOES UP AND DOWN BY HOW WELL THEY PLAYED THE WEEK BEFORE.

ah ok, makes sense. because hood is not a top corner lol

 

[Tailback U]

Routt definitely isn't but Johnson played like a beast when he got the starting spot. He's definitely very good.

Johnson proved he can play man to man, he just needs to get better in zone coverage as he had some screw ups last season. If he can better that part of his game he will be a complete corner and a very good one at that.

sheldon brown is super underrated.

yes he is!!! so many ppl dont kno. he was the better of the two when lito was a starter. he might even be better than asante. he gets no love so i appreciate this post a lot.

p.s. picks just mean ur getting thrown at a lot..........

Most shutdown corners get burnt because they take risks and jump routes to get picks. And many are overrated because they get a lot of picks. Guys like D Hall a few years ago was way overrated because he made a lot of plays/INTs, then guys learned he refuses to cover double moves to go after ints everytime. That's how I see it anyhow.
