Are Newman and Henry shutdown corners???

there is no such thing as a shutdown corner anymore
Champ Bailey is as close as it comes to a shutdown corner these days and I'd take him any day of the week over Newman or Henry.

What I wouldn't give to have a corner who actually knows how to turn his head around and make a play on the ball.

They invented the term "shut down corner" to describe Deion Sanders; the term didn't even exist before then.

I thought that was "self-promoter." ;)

newman dosent turn his head? hed have a few other interceptions..if roy didnt hit him...and he let 1 go through his hands during the texans game...and if quarterbacks atleast threw his way
 
Quick question on a slight tangent... I heard the guys talking on the Ticket and they made a good point.

Henry gets a lot of criticism for being burned on a semi-regular basis... but that's sort of to be expected from a Number 2 CB.

My question is, is there a better #2 CB in the NFL? I guess Lito Sheppard or Sheldon Brown (whoever is #2, would be better)? Anyone else?
