Claiborne ranked top corner in NFL

[Reverend Conehead]

Holy crap, I would not have guess this in the offseason. The best I thought we could hope for was Mo becoming a decent corner. Looks like he was worth moving up for in the draft after all. We gotta keep this guy.

That is a sentence I thought would have never been written..........

I hope he can prove this is who he is, if so, he deserves a good contract. He sure has looked very good this season, completely different player.

 

[coult44]

The question will be how much should he get to stay?

 

[muck4doo]

Patience paid off. Glad for him.

 

[rd26]

Mo is playing well. Maybe even top 10-15 well.

Best corner in the league he is not.

He's going to be too rich for my blood. Let him walk.

Last chance contract year. Maybe if we just keep giving him one year low paid deals, things will work out.

 

[Wezsh0T]

He is a much different player this year than previously. I guess being healthy for once makes a big difference or maybe it just took him that long for the light to turn on. We do appear to be playing more man as opposed to zone this year as well.

I think he'll want his money but no matter how well he plays he won't be paid as a top 5 cb. Too many injuries too little turnovers. If he stays healthy I hope we keep him

We're playing exclusively Man. Not surprised to see him having more success.

When you tell him to line up vs. a guy and say "Shut him down," he doesn't have to think much and can show off his skillset.

New coach, healthy, full training camp..Glad to see him do well.

Deion Sanders has a completely different take on why Claiborne's thriving.

He says Mo switching sides has helped him tremendously, because Mo naturally and habitually steps forward with his right foot at the snap.

On the left side, that means he can easily open his hips to the outside and run with the WR. But when he was on the right side, it was much tougher to open his hips to the sideline.

 

[reddyuta]

you guys jinxed him,Rodgers will definitely pick on him.

Why would he agree to that?

Mo has faced better WR's in these past games than Jordy. Brown will be the CB that Rodgers and Cobb will try to take lunch money from.

Even that isn't is scary as it sounds.

We mix it up we played a lot of cover 2 last week for example.

Good for Mo . . . his teammates are justifiably excited for him, just as many of us are as well. It feels good to see him operating so capably in our defensive backfield. He's paid a high price to do so in terms of what he's gone through to get there. Couldn't be happier for the guy. You've got to love seeing him feeling his oats again and doing whatever it takes to win. That's the same CB we drafted #6 to begin with. Keep it up, dude!

But it's not coming out of your wallet. Lol.
