They also threw more towards Jenkins' side than they did towards Newman's. Jenkins made more plays than Newman did.
But, alas, that's not worst of problems. Newman can still play, but not at a high level or the level his contract dictates he plays at. He's not going to get better. Time catches up to everyone and he's no exception. If he's willing to take a major paycut, then great, but he wouldn't be. No team in the NFL would sign him, at this point, for what's left on his contract.
A winning team, with a 3-4 year window, would pay a whole lot of money for Newman. Newman is a pure cover CB who still runs a mid 4.3, and he has the respect of the NFL executives and GMs.
I don't know if Newman was supposed to jam that guy on that 3-12 or not. I was just listening to Tony Dungy. Sensabaugh got there a little late, because the slot guy was open. Newman denied the inside, but Rivers stuck it outside, in a tight window, near the sidelines.
Anyway, the CBs are strong on the team.
The team needs a ballhawk FS.
Still, you hold SD to 20 points and can't score 24 when you should have and lose.
20 points was SD's season low.
