Regardless of what Carolina fans say about Smith

[VoR]

We were without our best corner in Henry and our best safety in Roy for almost as long as Smith was out.

I say that gives them the advantage:
best corner + best safety > best receiver

newman played...

I was gunna say we had Terrence out there. Henrys a valuable piece of the secondary, but dont confuse him with our best secondary player. that is hands down TNewm.

Not when Henry is healthy. No bash on Newman, he would be the best corner on most teams. Together, they might be the best starting pair in the NFL.

who cares. (stuff) happens. shame on him for taking himself out of the game. you certainly wont hear me crying for the panthers. it's not like we haven't had fluky stuff happen to us all year.

What are fans saying about Smith? That he only had one catch for 18 yards on purpose, and the refs took him out before he decided to start playing?

We played a great game against him... I never dreamed we could shut him down like that.

I think we frustrated him with the double coverage.

I think we frustrated him with the double coverage.

Every other team does that too, though...

But he was frustrated. I guarantee you that if he'd had 5 catches for 105 yards up to that point, he wouldn't have gone off on the ref like that.

Henry is not the best CB on this team it is not even clsoe Newman is way better. People equate picks to being better yet funny how teams have picked on henry at times and not newman. Funny how people throw at Henry all the time but rarely throw it newmans direction.

Please Henry is not and will never be the best CB on the field if Newman is lining up and healthy

Not true,and Henry has missed almost half the season. When he's on the field he's breaking up passes and getting Int's. He does give up some, but those could have been because he was playing injured anyway. It's a nice argument to have though - which cornerback is better. A few years ago you couldn't make that case for any corners on the roster. IMO Henry is better because he's a playmaker and Newman is not (but he's a shut down corner), to disagree is fine but I ain't buying it.
Henry = 1a
Newman = 1b

I've given up arguing with the "stupid people". Maybe you should too.


You are correct again by the way.

That is a very good point that the average fan does not consider!

Dude, you're wrong. Sorry. Ask Adam, he'll give you the stats. Teams have thrown less to Newman's side and Newman has given up way, and I mean way, less big plays then Henry has. Newman has yet to give up a touchdown (unless you count that one against the Chiefs I believe which was a messed up zone coverage). Newman is just better, no questions asked.

The best CB on the Cowboys roster.....#41 on your program TNew.

 

[Rockytop6]

Who is best, Newman or Henry? I'm just glad we have both of them and hope we have them and in good health for a long time.
