Truth.



Why do you say that? He is not as good as Flowers, but he had a much more intense transition from College (like Division 85 or whatever Grand Valley State is) than did Flowers.

Because I don't think he possesses enough speed, and his change of direction needs work.

As far as 40 time is concerned I believe Carr ran in the high 4.4's which would make him faster than both Flowers and Washington.

I don't see why Carr doesn't have what it takes to play in this league at a high level. Athletically he is very gifted. He played remarkably well for a rookie coming from a division II school, surrounded by mediocre talent, and playing with a historically bad pass rush.

That's the problem though, he doesn't have that really good corner speed and is therefore a fit for the tampon 2..

Fair enough.

The plays I remember him blowing, he was out of position, which can be expected coming from a DII school. Hopefully that can be rectified through coaching.

Wrong. He doesn't have shorts & t-shirt, timed track speed. He has game speed, quickness, physicality and stellar technique. He can play corner in any system for any team.

Shall I say it? Very similar to *cough* Ty Law *cough* in his prime

Few things I really like about Flowers when we drafted him, are his physical ability, and his ability to disect plays...He was known for that in college.

I think he can be a real physical/tough corner that possesses great smarts to go along with instincts. Great combination.
