Look at the number of rushing attempts they had. They hardly ever ran the ball and a lot of the running backs touches were screens, which typically don't affect corners. Most of Cutlers completions were when he had 5 seconds back there, and while the corner looks bad, that is mostly on the pass rush.
Our corners were exciting. They were physical (God forbid they hit somebody), most times they played the ball, knocked down passes, and tackled well. IIRC Marshall only broke 1 tackle and didn't get far. For as much as dungver threw the ball, our corners played well. Throw in that they are rooks, it was goddamn exciting!
