You can't play corner in today's NFL. Unfortunately that "nasty' secondary wouldn't be the same today.

Still good, yes.

I mostly disagree.

Sure, the rules make it extremely tough on corners but I think most of the guys playing CB in the NFL are absolutely amazing athletes.

The way some of these guys can provide blanket coverage without mugging WR's is often astonishing to me.

I agree with that, no doubt. What I mean is they can't play corner like they used to. You think Kevin Ross and Albert Lewis could match up with the athletes of today's corners? They'd be "ok". But wouldn't be the same.

Albert Lewis? Absolutely. He was long and lean and soooooooooooo smooth. He was amazing on Special Teams, too.

Ross may have a little more trouble but I think his athleticism would have allowed him to a be a very good #3, if not a good #2.

If they were in their prime, and played today, could they match up with guys like what Arizona has (Patrick Peterson and Antonio)? Just a general question.
