Last night on ESPN's NFL Matchup, Jaws was doing a break down of the AFC Championship. He went onto show how the Colts exposed Drayton Florence last week and how the Pats would target him today. He showed Reggie Wayne toying with him using head fakes and rookie Anthony Gonzalez flat running by him for a touchdown. He also gave a telling stat that opponents have completed 75% of passes gone his way this season.
I know many people are actively campaigning to sign him touting him as a less-expensive version of the top three guys. Fact is, he's not anywhere in the class of Samuels, Asomogha, or Trufant. He doesn't even start for his own team and it looks like the Chargers won't even make a serious play re-signing him. Is this the guy that's going to immediately shore up our woes as cornerback? We already have a two potential nickel backs in Jason David and Usama Young.
There are reasons why guys like Drayton Florence and Randall Gay are nickelbacks. We need a MAJOR overhaul at the corner position. I could maybe live with either one of those guys if Mike McKenzie hadn't suffered his devestating knee injury, however I feel we need to make a huge play for a difference maker at cornerback because we're currently in a pirogue without a paddle at that position.
