No way... our weakness is definitely at Corner. I watched McCauley, Griffen and Winfield get smoked enough last year to know better than to blame it on the LB corps... who did a pretty damn good job.

Winfield is overrated.

Sharper is overrated.

Winfield is mis-labeled if anyone considers him to be a shut-down corner, which he isn't.
He is the best tackling corner in the NFL, but to expect him to be matched against a #1 WR and stop them all day is to misuse his skills.

That would be great if he was a linebacker

Or a cornerback in the Cover 2.

He hasn't come back.. but I don't think anyone scared him away.
We were pretty cordial in this thread.

he might just be overly sensitive... we did disagree with him after all.

I don't recall anyone disagreeing - I thought people were just saying - "Hey, Dave, chill.
It's the pre-season."

Nothing negative of course.
We might have just overwhelmed him a bit is all I am thinking.
I am sure if he is lurking he will see we mean no harm and encourage posts of this nature.

Leads to some nice dicsussions.
;D

I have never hidden my man-love for Antoine Winfield.

I am very nervous about our pass defense again this year. Hopefully with the addition of Allen, it will be much improved because of pressure on the quarterback, but who knows how big of an impact one person will make.
