Best NFC CB Tandems

[Vintage]

Per TSN. Please re-read that first sentence. Per TSN. Not per me. PER TSN.

Got it? Ok....

1. 49ers
2. Cowboys- The team watns Terence Newman to take the final step toward stardom. Anthony Henry (6-1, 208) is a big corner with good ball skills. Nickel back Aaron Glenn is solid but struggles with deep balls.
3. Eagles
4. Packers
5. Buccaneers
6. Bears
7. Vikings
8. Panthers
9. Falcons
10. Commanders
11. Seahawks
12. Saints
13. Rams
14. Cardinals
15. Giants
16. Lions

Top 5 CB's.
1. Nate Clements- He gives the 49ers a shutdown corner to cope with the receiver-rich NFC West. Big, strong and quick, he can smother wideouts and make plays-he has five career TDs off interceptions. Plus, he has played in all 16 games in each of his five seasons.

2. DeAngelo Hall. Though he slumped a bit in 2006, he has special talent and is a player offenses must always account for. He has ideal speed, quickness, and fluidity.

3. Ronde Barber- Yes, he has lost a step, but he never had special speed anyway. With his elite tackling skills, instincts and ability to close on the ball, he remains a great fit in the Bucs' cover 2 and a top playmaker who scored twice last year.

4. Lito Sheppard. With 14 interceptions and three touchdowns over the past three years, he has become one of the NFC's top playmakers. He makes up for his lack of elite speed with smarts and aggressiveness.

5. Antoine Winfield. Despite his lack of size (5-9, 180), he is very physical and is one of the best run support corners. He also has improved his playmaking skills- he has 11 interceptions over the past three years.

Again, per TSN.

Is this where everyone expresses outrage at how Newman is disrespected, never gets his due credit?

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

Newman is a better CB than D-Hall, they just lost their credibility...

Probably.

I only posted it because I came across it and thought I would share in case people were interested. As far as I know, it hasn't been posted here yet (the DT and LB rankings were already).

Wow. Just wow.

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

Wow. Just wow.

I know right....

 

[DallasEast]

Wow. Just wow.

I know that he recently fleeced the 49ers to the tune of an eight-year, $80 million contract, but to be rated no. 1? Heck, I would rate Sheppard over him easily.

This is an outrage, how can they keep disrepecting Newman year after year? I swear, that man never gets his due credit!!

 

[Muhast]

I'd think that the panthers cbs should be higher on the list.

....................and he flys real far when chucked by an offensive lineman.

Champ Bailey isn't in top-5 CB list?

 

[TRUTH87]

Champ Bailey isn't in top-5 CB list?

itz only NFC bro.

 

[ajk23az]

Champ Bailey isn't in top-5 CB list?

that list was just for NFC CB's

beat me to it....

 

[TheSport78]

i'll agree with this list if Henry is 100% healthy, something he hasn't been able to do the past two seasons.

 

[burmafrd]

where is a source that we can find stats on % of passes allowed to be completed, and TDs given up?

Aint that the truth. Great video.

[Star88]

That video clip is hillarious...coupled with the fact that Hall loves to remind everybody about his blistering speed, yet I remember TO getting behind last year with no problem...Not that TO is a tug boat.....

I watch as many Cowboys games as I can, and I have rarely sees Newman get beat.

I've watched very few Falcons' games, but the last one I saw (was against the Cowboys) I saw Hall get beat a few to more times, and I've seen him get burned on ESPN highlights many times.

For the life of me, I don't know how people think this guy is an elite corner. He's a gambler who gets beat just as much as he makes the big play. That doesn't make him "elite".
