I think it's 7 #1 CB's Sherman,Revis,Haden,Peterson,Tillman,Bailey,and Taylor. These are the guys that rarely needs safety help you can roll coverage to the other side and they can completely shutdown the opposing team #1 WR. Davis has all the physical abilities of these guys but what seperates them is the mental aspect of the game.

 

Throw Lardarius Webb on there and drop Ike Taylor and I'd agree.

Uhh...yes, those would be the ELITE #1 Corners in the league.  That's like saying the only starting caliber QB's in the league are Manning, Rodgers, and Brady.  

 

 

I really don't understand your argument.  Not every single corner in the league is going to be as good as Revis.... That doesn't mean they aren't good and are incapable of being #1 corners.  The #1 corner is the player who typically covers the #1 receiver.  That player on our team is Davis, and it's not by default. That's his talent level.  He's good enough to line up in front of the other teams best receiver and cover him. No, he's not as good as Revis, but he's still a VERY good corner and is right on that 2nd tier of players waiting to ascend into the top tier.

 

Also, you're evaluation of corners seems off.Of the 7 corner you listed, only one really goes on "the island" and that's Revis.  Sherman gets plenty of safety help, as do Peterson and Haden. Tillman is a Tampa-2 zone corner, Bailey USED to be a "shut-down #1 corner" but clearly is NOT anymore (though is still very very good). Call me dumb, but I have no idea who Taylor is.  I'm sure it's obvious, and once someone tells me I'll feel like an *. SO, please someone let me know.

 

Edit: Oh yeah. Ike Taylor.  Really? Him? In that list of corners? lol

I don't really believe in the "Shutdown CB" label. EVERYONE gets Caught on or Burnt at some point, just some more than others. Revis has his Share of being Burnt & Caught on numerous times. Especially that One hander Randy Moss had on him but Revis played like he was hurt. Wasn't nothing wrong with that man but the fact he was shocked he got embarrassed like that. Shocked him so much the shock went to his hamstring and that's why he claimed to be hurt

lmao

Agreed, "Shutdown" is a term the talking heads like to give out.  I don't care who you are, you're not always gonna be the baddest man on the field.

I don't know that he was faking it. Missing 3 games because you got embarrassed doesn't seem to make much sense.

Getting embarrassed can have a very harsh mental impact on you haha

Revis to Rex Ryan: Are you sure I'm a CB? I don't feel like much of a CB lmao

Go to YouTube and type in "Ginn burns Revis"

And then I'm sure we all remember the one handed TD catch Randy had on Revis

Revis got burned by Ginn but Revis was obviously expecting Safety help vs Moss ......Still the best Corners ever get beat sometimes just far far less then lesser Corners

If your definition of "shutdown corner" is someone who's never had a bad play in his entire career then yeah you're correct. To everyone else "shutdown corner" is a term used to describe a guy who takes the best receiver out of the game 99 times out of 100.

There is no such thing as a TRUE  shutdown Corner but Revis was as close as they come pre injury, How he will be post injury has yet to be determined, He is on record as saying the minute he steps on the field he will be ready however,What separates most great Corners from good to even bad Corners is instincts and Revis's instincts have proven to be 2nd to none in the game today

That's my definition of it, so it doesn't exist. I just label the Revis', Sherman, Etc. as top CB's. Not shutdown ones. But that's just me

I'm not taking anything from him, he's a great CB. But I don't use the term shutdown. That's just me though

I try not to but Corners like him have separated themselves from the rest of the pack of other Corners in the league

This is a very exciting time. I think one thing we can say is that we are definitely better than last year. And to "Build the Monster," (which to me means building a solid sustainable success based on roster depth and talent development) that is what it is going to take. Getting better every year. We have the most important piece of the puzzle. We have our franchise QB. Mr. Irsay, RGI, and Coach Pagano definitely seem to have a vision. I can't wait!

      Is Shane Calling Plays to Win Games or to Groom AR?

      By Smonroe · Posted

      I Respectfully disagree.  I do agree that Shane is trying to win games.   What I don’t agree on is that he’s using AR to his full advantage to do so.  It may be injury concern, or that he feels AR isn’t quite back to 100% from surgery.  But he’s not using him like he did last season.    I’m not saying it’s wrong, and I hope it’s for the best.  But I think ARs development is more important to the franchise than winning right now.   I gave the example of Daniels.  They’re letting him run, it definitely helps them to stay in games.  That may not be a smart strategy if he ends up like RGknee, but you can see they’re trying to win now.

      Do you see any progress with Richardson?

      By ThorstenDenmark · Posted

      To use an off season surgery as an excuse is bollocks....    He needs to step up his game and start performing. In many ways he honestly looks like one of the 5 worst QB´s in the league and again, to use a shoulder surgery as an excuse is just pure bollocks.   There simply is no development in his game, and his huge upside is what? tell me?    I don´t think one second that we will ever come close to winning anything with him as our QB.   and to make things worse read this: https://www.espn.com/nfl/columns/story?columnist=pasquarelli_len&id=2176813

      Another disturbing fact

      By John Hammonds · Posted

      And yet, PFF didn't grade him all that high last year.  My response to this is that the scheme is designed for the MLB and the SS to make most of the tackles.  And they do. But last year, Franklin allowed a 77% completion rate with 10.2 yards per completion, and 7.9 yards per target.  In summary, he makes a lot of tackles by scheme, but he also allows a lot of completions. I don't think of him a Great.  Or even Good.  He's Fair.   https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/F/FranZa00.htm

      Another disturbing fact

      By Indianapolis-Colts-Fan · Posted

      Every bottom feeder team has a good player or two. Are the colts a bottom feeder? At times they play like it.    the “forum GMs” as you call them, don’t dislike when a player does well. They just hate when the team sucks. There’s nothing wrong with that. And no one here says some of the Colts players aren’t good players.    the Colts stunk it up pretty bad in the first two weeks, lost game one again a stat that we have held for over a decade. In must win games, the colts perform exceptionally awful with a mind boggling level of consistency under this regime.    the good players that the Colts have tend to also not show up in those games and make any game changing plays.    ok so Franklin can tackle. So what? Yeah the forum GMs are shaking with rage because of that!
