A cornerback quandary

King_Chief_Fan · 03-03-2005, 07:19 AM

If illegal contact calls truly bring all cornerbacks together, then why did Eric Warfield perform so much better at left cornerback than Dexter McCleon, William Bartee or Julian Battle on the right side? Why did opponents prefer throwing away from Warfield? They obviously didn’t believe that all Chiefs cornerbacks were equally vulnerable.

Why would you ever throw to Warfields side when you can toast Bartee all day long? SAme as McCleon and Battle which are no good. This is more about how really bad Bartee, McCleon and Battler are, vs Warfield being any good.

“And what would happen to the Chiefs, or any other team, if all of a sudden the officials are told to become more lenient toward illegal contact? This could prove disastrous to a club that assumed it could get by with one or two marginal cornerbacks.”

And what would happen to a team that spent a fortune on a CB, only to find that he was useless under the current rules?

Oh yeah, the Broncos and Champ Bailey.

Heh.

The rules are here. Better to devise a scheme to get the best effect under them than worry about what might happen if the NFL maybe changed their mind about wanting points, points and more points.

The “Shutdown Cornerback” is dead. Get over it. Improve your front seven and attack the Enemy backfield.
