LSSPAM you really stuck it to that Falc fan.

The better post was in response to a Redskins fan

Current NFL rules emphasis make the idea of a "shutdown corner" an archiac idea anyways. The contact rules make it very difficult to cover man-to-man consistently over the course of a game. That's the real reason very few teams run man coverage the majority of the time with their corners. I guess I could have explained that but I despise the Falcons and choose to take some shots at a big-mouthed player I dislike anyways instead :anigrin:

Champ Bailey is, arguably, the only true shutdown corner in the NFL right now. Guys like Nate Clements, Asante Samuel, Chris McAlister, Lito Sheppard are on a lower level then Bailey. Bailey is about the only CB I would trust to cover, man-t0-man, any WR in the NFL all game and have any hope of him getting the better of the matchup.

With that in mind, it'd be crazy to run exclusive man-to-man coverage with any other corners.
