Amazing what a lock down corner does for a defense

[KeyVol14]

Agreed although you sure wouldn’t think it reading the game threads. As soon as a team throws for a first down, especially if it’s a slant, a small contingent start in on our secondary.
“Our DBs are garbage.”
“Fire Martinez”
“Why can’t we turn and look at the ball like everyone else?”
“Fire Banks”
And so on.

Some fans live play by play and don't look at from a full game perspective

Best CB since Jason Allen

Allen was a safety

 

[Majors]

Allen was a safety

He was both. 14 starts at CB before converting to safety to finish before he got hurt.

I think both our corners are future first round picks. Gibson doesn’t get as much pub as McCoy. There is a reason for throwing at McCoy though. Gibson has his side on lockdown

Gibson has such impressive length. He's not quite as polished as McCoy technique-wise but he's just as talented. After McCoy started shutting down Ryan Williams, Alabama tried moving him over to Gibson's side thinking that would make a difference. Turns out Gibson locked him up as well.

Having two shut down corners is a huge reason why our defense has been so good. It's not just the d-line. Our backend is also elite.

Good morning D4H. I hope when you do your annual nfl draft evaluations these two will be at or near the top of your board this year and next.

McCoy is usually guarding the best WR on the field. That’s why he’s thrown at.

not saying Gibson isnt playing great, but it seems like McCoy is almost always covering the opponents #1 receiver.

Probably some truth to that. I am not sure if we rotate our corners based on the other teams personnel or not.

My b, thought he was a cb.

Sounds like McCoy has a chance to go down as the best VOLS cb ever

Dale actually played some corner in the NFL. Great great athlete.

Gibson is really improving and young. McCoy is a very good DB. GBO
