Newman best years are behind him

Please. Against Washington, Newman allowed ONE catch that was thrown more than 4 yards downfield (also the first deep pass he has allowed since at least 2006). Reeves routinely allowed medium-length or deep catches. If he mostly allowed short catches and only an occasional long one (or had more than that one interception last season), he would have been a much better player. But there's a reason Football Outsiders called Reeves "The Human Target" and why they consider Newman one of the top cornerbacks in the league. One single, solitary long pass allowed doesn't change that.

wasn't the james thrash touchdown on newman or was coverage supposta shift and watkins take it over?
 
Thrash touchdown was pretty short yardage, but when newman fell he waves his arms and calls out to switch with watkins but it didn't happen.

yes, Watkins didnt shift the way he was supposed to per Wade.

You could also see Newman yelling at him as soon as the play was over.

Newman was an exceptioal Def Back at KSU..but he payed zone defense 90% of the time.
Really?

I must have been watching a different K-State team than you. Zone coverage CB's are not taken with a top 10 pick in the draft.
