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!

      Harrison Played Mostly At Safety In Mini Camp.

      By krunk · Posted

      Personally I think Thomas got pressed into playing before his time. He did a few things we didn't expect initially considering his draft position. I think ideally they wanted to take their time and train him up sorta like EJ Speed then get him out there.  I'm interested to see how he regroups to be honest.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By CR91 · Posted

      Look im not gonna say Ballard haven't had his own issues, but the guy has been put in an impossible position particularly every year.   2017 - He has a lame duck for a head coach when we all knew was gonna get fired and was drafting for his scheme so I'll give him a pass.   2018 - Arguably his best draft getting two All-pros and a stalwart at RT. He gets to sign his choice of a head coach and is left at the alter at the 11th hour which in hindsight was a blessing in disguise. Drafted Tyquan Lewis, Hines, and Franklin who all have or had great years here. Andrew Luck was back and playing like an MVP.   2019 - Horrible draft. No excuses. It was his worst draft as a GM, but he did find a gem in Speed. Luck retiring a week before the season starts would put any GM in a tough spot so once again I'll give him a pass.   2020 - His second best draft getting Pittman, Taylor, and Blackmon. Signed Rivers and traded for Buckner and won 11 games. Unfortunately lost to the Bills in the playoffs.   2021 - I honestly can't tell for certain what happened in terms of QB. Ive heard Rivers was supposed to re-sign, but choice to retire. I've heard he was pushed to retirement as the colts wanted to go in a different direction which was apparently Stafford before the Rams came in last second. I heard Reich pushed hard for Wentz saying he can fix him against the wishes of Ballard. If you ask me, I think Stafford was plan A as Stafford himself said him and his wife were so convinced he was going to Indy that they started looking at homes. When that fell through, imo Reich lobbied for Wentz. Whatever it was, Wentz was the guy and the QB carousal was supposedly stopped at least we thought. A god-like season for Taylor was not enough to save Wentz from ultimately being traded and you can chalk that one on whomever Reich or Ballard depending on what story you want to believe. In terms of the draft, Paye and Dayo have been reliable players on the dline, Granson you can make an argument is our best TE, and Fries came into his own last year.   2022 - Just an overall disaster of a season. Went the bandage route again at QB trading for Matt Ryan and you can say the colts did him no favors in terms of oline protection and JT getting hurt, but that was a failed trade for a miserable season. 2022 draft is still under elevation, but Pierce and Woods did show potential as rookies and Raimann looks to be the LT of the future.   2023 - Ballard finally gets to draft a QB to tether him to and Richardson plays a grand total of 12 quarters. It just seems like Ballard can not catch a break when it comes to QBs, but from I've seen from Richardson, I have very high expectations.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By John Hammonds · Posted

      Hi Colts fans,   Yeah, I know, I know.  I was just as surprised as you were.  No clue why my good friend Jim Irsay would call me up and offer me the head coaching job.  I had to remind him.  Dude, I said, you do know that I've never coached at all at the NFL level.  Not coordinator.  Not even position coach.  Nothing.  It didn't seem to matter.  It was as if all that was required was for me to be good friends with the owner, and -- bazinga! -- I could be a head coach.   It was awkward, you know.  That first coaches meeting.  There was Gus Bradley.  And there was John Fox.  Both of them had been head coaches.  Heck, both of them had coached in a Super Bowl!  Yet here I was, promoted to be their boss, having never coached before.  Ever.   But, you know, Bud Grant did it.  So, why not?  Remember, I have a way of doing things.   Ok, sorry, I couldn't help but giggle.  I have a way of doing... what, exactly?  Things?  Things like coaching?  I have a way of coaching?  And how did I develop that way?  By actually, you know, coaching?   Anyway, I'm glad you have a new head coach.  One who has actually coached before.  And his experience doing that is bearing fruit.  I'm just glad I'm already in the Ring of Honor.  Because after what happened, I doubt that I would ever be accepted in by the fans, regardless of how I was as a player.  Heck, they would have put Andrew Luck in before they would even consider me.   In the meantime, I'm back at ESPN, attempting to "un-burn" bridges.  It can happen.  I heard Bud Grant did that once....   Regards, Jeff Saturday

      We certainly have options as both DB draftees started at FS as well as CB in college. Perhaps Thomas ‘could’ revert back to CB as well?
