Man Pure Raider, i thought he was only good at kick returning, didnt know he was a top cover man too lol

Oh man my bad. That's about the 100th time I've called Deangelo Hall Dante Hall in the past 2 weeks. I gotta get that right before the season starts lol.

Nate is a GOOD corner who got a monster contract. Thats it.
Its Deangelo. Dante is that little prick who ran circles around our special teams when on kansas city lol.
Lito Sheppard isn't anything special imo. Ive seen every corner that plays for Philly have success. Lito gets a lot of lame duck int's.
Football outsiders has Revis rated pretty low and Cromartie has clearly proved more than him.

Sure #3 may be a little high for Robinson but he is one of the best in the league. If he were on a popular team like the Cowboys you would hear people rave about him. No need to LYAO.

[quote=MileHighRaider;2596793]That's closer to reality Damion.

Chump is over rated. Period.

Porter, a second rate receiver mind you, torched the guy.

And I agree with those who say Bly is third rate. His OWN FANS were booing him during practice last year when he was beaten repeatedly by the likes of Captain Kircus (who I believe is now serving a prison sentance or soon to be - and NEVER was anywhere near a starter at #2, #3 or #7 on the Donkeys).

We are blessed, my friends.

agreed. Champ is all hype.
Lock up Nnamdi long term and we will be the envy of the NFL for years.

It's just espn's top analysts, it doesn't mean they have any credibility. Just for fun I will post there scouts oppinion's on aso. This scouting was preseason last, so it doesn't count for 07-08 season. They should be updated soon I would guess.

2007 Scouting Report - Scouts Inc.
Grade: 78 | Key
Alert: None

Comment: Asomugha has excellent size to go along with top-end speed. His foot quickness and agility are adequate but he has a little stiffness in his hips and knees. He is better from a bump-and run-alignment where he can trail the receiver as opposed to pedaling and trying to extend the cushion, then opening his hips to get out of the pedal and close on the ball. He looks a bit tight in transition and often loses a step on the receiver, but has enough explosive quickness and speed to make up the difference. He struggles a bit from man-off as he is not yet good at route recognition or reading the quarterback?s eyes and getting a jump on the ball. He is strong and has long arms that allow him to jam receivers or re-route them when he is able to get a hand on them. He is a strong tackler and is not afraid to come up and force the run. Last season was a breakout for Asomugha as he came up with eight interceptions after being shutout his first three years in the league, and though he has come a long way in terms of playing the ball he is still a work in progress.

I don't know why D Hall is so high on some peoples lists. He is a good corner, but he isnt in the top 5.

Why do so many automatically say Champ is #1, I disagree that Champ is the best corner in the league anymore.
