thebandit27 Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Who wants to talk about CBs? Here's Football Outsiders' advanced statistical breakdown of NFL CBs for 2014: http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stat-analysis/2015/worst-cb-charting-stats-and-more-best Some highlights: - Stephon Gilmore ranked 12th among #1 corners the NFL in their "Corner Index", which is explained in the article. - Corey Graham ranked 1st among "supporting" corners in the "Corner Index" It's not a perfect system, and the error potential is discussed in detail in the article, so give it a read if you're so inclined. Then, perhaps discuss...
Dorkington Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Solid #1, excellent depth, and no one bad enough to make the worst lists? I'll take it!
Big C Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 (edited) Go team! Interesting that for all the praise Graham has been getting for his work at corner we are moving him to safety. Edited June 4, 2015 by Big C
chris heff Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 EJ Manuel should be on that worst list. EJ Manuel should be on every worst list. Imo But seriously folks I like our CB situation.
YoloinOhio Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Go team! Interesting that for all the praise Graham has been getting for his work at corner we are moving him to safety. agreed. But it's a good sign. He was a good corner (at times) in last years scheme but doesn't quite emulate what Rex asks his corners to do. His strengths will be utilized well in the Safety role.
LB3 Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 (edited) Gilmore will be a top 5 corner this year. With McKelvin being strong in press coverage and developing better ball skills, Robey being a very solid slot corner and the possible emergence of Darby (drinking lots of OTA koolaid and it's delicious), I think our secondary is/will be stacked.

Codyny13 Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 We never hear about Cockrell (I just giggled as I wrote that), how's that kid developing? He's got the size...has anyone read or heard anything about him? Remember when the Fins had both sam smith and vontae "can I call my grandma" davis? !@#$in Jeff Ireland, guys such a Tard.

Vontae Davis is sooo good. He will be covering Sammy week 1, I suspect. Crap.
dave mcbride Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Good stuff - thanks for posting! Wow, the Jets had terrible CBs last year. What a fall - they had truly great CB production from 2009-2011.
John from Riverside Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Vontae Davis is sooo good. He will be covering Sammy week 1, I suspect. Crap. The good news is we have Clay, Harvin, and Woods also on the field..... Although I suspect this year with be the "it doesnt matter who is on Watkins" year........ I want to see them go right at Revis when we play the jets with Watkins on designed plays to get Sammy open........
johnwalter Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Vontae Davis is sooo good. He will be covering Sammy week 1, I suspect. Crap. This - Vontae Davis is one of the most underrated players in the league.
Wayne Cubed Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 This - Vontae Davis is one of the most underrated players in the league. Jeff Ireland is an idiot and his explanation for trading him, on hard knocks, was horrible.
