I don't understand why everyone rags on our corners so much. They are ranked 9th against the pass this year, 14th last year, 12th in 2004 and 8th in 2003. These are the same corners that are playing man defense. I think that is pretty damn good. I know we don't have much depth and Craft can look like a rented mule at times but come on. Everyone wants to talk about how bad they were against the Ravens because they gave up 159 yards passing. I don't know if you guys realize it or not but 159 yards per game would rank #1 in the NFL if the season ended today. Somehow that performance gets the blame and our "great, can't stop us" offense turns the ball over 5 times and get worshipped for lighting it up when they were down 28 points late in the 2nd half.
We could always trade for Chris MCallister since he is a shut down corner, will make the Pro Bowl and he gave up more yards Sunday than our entire team. How about we go after Deltha O'Neal and Tory James since they get a lot of interceptions and made the Pro Bowl last year. Just so happens they both also play for the Bengals who had the 26th ranked passing defense last year.
I think our corners have played well. I also think that we need to get younger and deeper at the position. I would love to see them get more interceptions but not if it means they are giving up huge plays by gambling. I would love to see them play more of the confusing zone schemes but then defenses would run all over us like they did in 2003-2004.
