His first game as starter, which he came in halfway through. Then the Atlanta game, where he got picked on in the first half, then came back in the second half to shut them down. That's what Corey White's detractors have to fall back on. Nobody ever wants to mention all the games after that where the kid played lights out. Hell, if not for him making back-to-back brilliant plays in week 1, we probably lose that season opener to the Falcons.

Corner is just one of those positions where people only notice the bad things. If a guy gets picked on a couple times when he's young, that's his reputation forever. If you don't believe me, go look at Steelers' boards last year after Keenan Lewis signed with us. And we know how good he is.
