Corners

[Anjinsan]

I see a real weakness in the secondary specifically with the CB situation. Jenkins is a stud and Scandrick is solid. Newman has been on the decline the last 2 years but hopefully he'll bounce back. Other than those 3, there's Marquis Floyd, Cletis Gordon and Jamar Wall. That's upsetting to the stomach. If there's a veteran need anywhere on the team, this need has to be just as important.

 

[Rampage]

are you related to AOA?

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

Hmmm I don't agree... Dallas is fine at the position, if a veteran comes available, they might snatch em' up.

What if one of the 3 go out with injury? You think one of the rest can fill in adequately? I don't see it and definitely not from a rookie or FA.

ball is cb/s and AOA might be too. if we get down to needing to start the 4th CB then AOA or hamlin would take S and ball would be CB

 

[jobberone]

Ball would be the third corner in the event of an injury.

Name a team with 4 good corners? the Jets?

Most teams have 4 good corners. We only have 3 at the moment.

 

[Angus]

Rookie Bryan McCann is a cornerback, and may be pretty good. He can also play safety.

That's not true.

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

I think they're going to keep the rookie at CB right now.

Kinda hard to do when he's the starting safety.

 

[cobra]

Jesus, I'm beginning to wonder how the hell we won a game last year. Apparently our roster is atrocious!

 

[cobra]

Gee, maybe they could--if need be--move Ball to CB and play Hamlin at safety. You think?

 

[big dog cowboy]

Most teams have 4 good corners.

Wow. Just wow.

 

[RCowboyFan]

Wow. Just wow.

Seriously, I am curious for OP to name one team in NFL that hs 3 good corners, let alone 4? It would be really entertaining to see the definition of good corner if so.

You will be hard pressed to find any team that has 3 CBs as good as Newman, Jenkins, and Scandrick. A fourth CB is just going to be just that, a fourth CB. CBs are hard to find, and there are not enough of them to make teams 4 deep at that position, with the same quality as your top two or three guys.

Newman went to the Pro Bowl last year and out played Samuel in the game. In fact, he outplayed all the CBs in that game.

 

[Muhast]

Most teams have 4 good corners. We only have 3 at the moment.

Last year there were SEVERAL teams that didn't even have 2 good corners

 

[Sandman52]

Jets, Bills, Broncos, Panthers, Packers, Bucs, Bengals, Ravens, Raiders, and Skins were Top 10 in Receiving Defense last year.

If someone wants to do a team-by-team CB analysis, that's where you can start. However, 4 good CBs is pretty rare in the history of the NFL.
