All I know is that Madison was chasing Moulds down the field all last year.


2 games, 8 catches, 211 yards and 2 TD's. I won't even talk about what Price did to those chumps.

as pure CB's go.. I can agree with this. Awin and NClem have not had alot of opportunities to intercept balls. They are too busy making up for a crappy front 4, and average rookie safeties.

They cant take risks when they are the only thing standing between a 15 yard completion/tackle, and a 65 yard TD

Wait till this year though. THey will be taking chances left and right, because they know that they have the support they need.

Remember moulds and price last season.
IMO winfeild and clements will be close to that im not saying there going to them because there are some great CB's out but they will be close.

Madison had a hurt knee all of last year, he had corrective surgury this offseason to correct it,, and now he's running like the old madison. If he's healthy this year when we play you, I don't think the coverage will be as bad..plus he dropped an interception right into moulds hands..kinda of padded the numbers a bit.

[Patrick76777]

maybe he shouldn't have dropped it into the other teams top WR's hands. Not a bright thing to do. \


Knee problems for a CB. Not good.

[SamAdamsFan]

I actually think Winfield is better than Clements. I think Clements is great, but all the press of him being the first pick by the new regime kind of overshadowed Winfield. Winfield hits better and is excellent at coverage, so the ball rarely gets thrown his way to make an opportunity for a pick.

[ryven]

I have to completely agree with SamAdamsFan on this one winfield is a shut down corner so teams just don throw his way and when one does slip by he delivers a crushing blow ala green bay game.

True, and you're right, a knee problem is not good for cb, glad he got it fixed..but gotta love the fact he played though it and is still considered one of the top 5.

These lists are so subjective as to have no credibility whatsoever. Does anyone except a nitwit Dolphin fan actually believe there are 22 CBs in this league that are better than Antoine Winfield?

[TedMock]

I do think Surtain and Madison are elite corners but this list as a whole is crap. Fred Smoot? I live in Redskins country and have watched him several times.....he's horrible. There were even trade rumors in the paper and local radio with him during the season last year. He gets burned all the time and yet he's ranked 14? He's not the only bad call on the list but just one that really sticks out to me.

[ryven]

Smoot sounds like another watson

[TedMock]

Except Smoot came in with very high expectations. He was a high draft pick and a huge trash talker. He wears #21 because Deion is his idol and often compares himself to Deion. I'm not a Deion fan but the guy was one of the best cover corners I've ever seen. He didn't hit much but he was a lockdown cover guy.

Dolphin fans didn't make up this list..Nitwit.

[clumping platelets]

But with all that talent, the leading rusher, sacker, and the AFC's #1 D........YOU STILL MISSED THE PLAYOFFS!!
