When looking at Revel and Bland, are any of them number one corners?

[jazzcat22]

Agree with this, we're going to see a lot of flags on them because they get beat so easily, then they have nothing else but to do than to grab and hold! They don't locate the ball well, this issue has been going on for years though with this team

You do not know this either.
Are you out there on the field with the team and coaches to observe every play?

Revel is having a very good TC. Nothing but good stuff coming from TC reports.
Bland, there is nothing good or bad. So that is a good thing actually.

I will wait and see if he has fully recovered and his confidence is back. See how he does in games before I answer.

A bust based off half a season

I don't think we have any proof that this team has a reliable #2, let alone a #1.

Maybe Revel takes a big leap. Maybe Bland has improved. Maybe the scheme is better for Durant in Dallas than it was in LA.

There's a chance it's a good unit, but it involves a lot of things to go really right.

Not to hijack the thread ..........

But that is exactly why I believe CB will likely be a top priority for our 2027 1st-round pick.....

The coaching last year was so horrendous I hesitate to evaluate defensive players based on their play in that scheme.

There was one game in the middle of the year where Ebermoron went to a lot of man defense and the team had its best defensive game. I forget which. The players looked noticeably better. He immediately went back to his idiotic defense and the results followed.

Or are they just #2 cbs, I feel in time Revel has the best intangibles to possibly be one. Bland will forever be a great nickel CB. Hoping he puts it all together this year as well. What good is trying to rush the passer, but Wrs are running around wide open!??? Please give your input!

We cannot label any player just yet, let's see what Parker can do with them first as he has a strong track record of developing the position.

As we all know, consistent pressure on opposing Qbs gonna make these guys alot better........maybe we get it

Bingo

And the players were so bad it's impossible to evaluate the coaching!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Goes both ways, no reason to scapegoat like Jerry does.

Revel and Moore both have #1CB traits. To be seen.

Define "number one corners". If it's the best on the team, then yes, they are. If it's among the best in the league, then perhaps not.

Hard to tell with injuries. Before injury I would say Bland was one.

If you watch football, this is what almost every corner does. It's not exclusive to just the Cowboys. Coogs is just trying to sound smart.

The definition of a “CB #1” is relative to the team. Some teams are loaded at this position. We are not, at least right now.

IMO the Cowboys have 3 decent corners, none dominant - Bland, Durant and Revel are good, not great.

But with the addition of Caleb Downs, who is very versatile and has good coverage skills, and with the fact that the new Parker scheme uses safeties more flexibly in coverage may help cover some of the weaknesses we have at corner.

The greatest friend of pass coverage is a good pass rush. We will see if we have more of that compared to last year.
