The shutdown cornerback is nearly extinct in NFL

the rule changes will make the "shutdown corner" go the way of the dodo bird. The league wants scoring now. All the leagues want scoring. Just to satisfy the casual fan. No longer can you touch a receiver. Why not just put dresses on all offensive "skill" players and let them run free. I, for one, love defense. It is harder to play defense and therefor when a defense make a good or great play then they are showing the real talent. Soon I can see the NFL doing away with defense altogether. Sort of sarcasm but not really. I always believed you put your best players on the field and let them play. Now totally interfering with the receiver isn't right but let the defensive player have a chance to do his job.
