Is the corner position suddenly a liability? (1 Viewer)

[sleepingbunch]

Pittsburgh has one hell of a passing offense that was firing on all cylinders last night. We didn't suddenly get terrible.

I think Finnegan can really help us. He seems to still have some ability left. Harris and Crawley seem more hit or miss.

Pittsburgh's top 3 receivers each are 4.4 or faster in the 40, and Ben has one of the NFL's strongest arms. When healthy, that offense is formidable. We won't look as terrible against other teams.

I'm WAY more worries about the O-Line than the corners right now.

As am I, but it's going to be a glaring weakness going forward

Maybe so. I think it's a position we will definitely target early (at least Rd 2-3) in next year's draft though

Nah we'll find a receiver

Go figure

I think our corners actually held up well considering the lack of pressure from the base 4. They were all ways in position and there weren't any wide open receivers streaking down the field. If the QB isn't pressured to throw early or off balance then you're never going to look good in the secondary. Especially with the caliber of receiving talent that Pitt has. If the QB can hold the ball for the entire route progression, one of them is going to get open.

from what i've seen yes its a liability.

This. I don't know went people are having such a hard time acknowledging this right now. Maybe because it's the Pittsburgh Steelers. This ain't your dad's/uncle's Steelers. This is a flashy team with a suspect defense.
