Tall Corners VS Shorter Corners

Danno · 04-03-2014, 05:45 PM

Revis is only 5-11, he has no problem. Greer was also 5-11.

If they have a great vertical and long arms, an inch or two doesn't really matter.

The top 10 CB prospects in this years draft average 5-11.

I wouldn't disqualify a 5-10 CB, but they better have long arms, cover like a glove, and be able to jump thru the roof.

I also feel like Goodell will put an end to the muggings like Seattle got away with.

Typically tall CB's just don't have the hip flip and quickness that shorter CB's do.

I agree with all of your points D and I also believe the vertical is a huge part in an overall CB. If the guy is 5,9 but can dunk like Lebron, bring him on. I think the benefit with smaller corners are that they are typically faster and the footwork is as well.

My only concern is just getting straight man handled by big receivers like Megatron reverting back to my previous statement of being torn.

What a tangled web we weave in this life

Yea I agree with both of y'all but usually the top CB which in this case is Keenan Lewis will stick people like megatron Dez Bryant and Larry Fitzgerald. The second CB usually stick the not so big receivers that are less of a problem. The only team we will have a problem with is Atlanta with Roddy White and Julio Jones to big receivers. But looking at the teams we will play this year we should be fine because the AFC North isn't as good as the were before.

I gotta believe the league has to crack down on the holding. There have been too many articles pointing it out and Dilfer is challenging the league publically. He's telling anyone that will listen the Seahawks are cheating because Goodall doesn't have the quevoes to do anything about it.

As far as tall vs. short, I think talent and physical ability far outweigh the advantage height might bring. There's been some pretty good "short" corners.
