First Half Grades

I also share your concerns about our corners being exposed at some point. I think they are better than a lot of people give them credit for. (Oh yeah, you forgot to grade Turf, which had a great game on monday night and somehow allowed our corners to smother Atlanta's receivers.) Neither of them is as good as Chris McCalister, but they play hard and I believe they perform reasonably well with consistent pressure from the front four.

I think our Corners are probably around the NFL average. They really aren't bad. The problem is the Cover-1 scheme Gibbs would prefer to use puts a lot of pressure on the CBs. You have to have above average corners.
