Football ESPN: Ranking the AFCW Defensive Backs - Page 5

Ugly Duck · 07-05-2011, 12:04 PM

Looks like Bill Williamson likes Eric Berry & thinks the Oakland backs will suck without Nnamdi. Same for Denver if they lose the ancient old aged Champ. Seems to like Sandy Eggo:

1. Nnamdi Asomugha, Oakland: This may change. Many league observers expect Asomugha to leave the Raiders when free agency starts. That would be a major hit to this list.

2. Champ Bailey, Denver: Bailey is aging, but he is still an elite-level player.

3. Eric Berry, Kansas City: Berry could be atop this list next year. The second-year safety appears to be a special player.

4. Quentin Jammer, San Diego: The veteran cornerback is underrated. He is a stalwart.

5. Brandon Flowers, Kansas City: He is a favorite of NFL scouts. He is becoming one of the better young cornerbacks in the league.

6. Eric Weddle, San Diego: He is a top safety and a playmaker.

7. Stanford Routt, Oakland: This is a big year for Routt, who just signed a big contract with the Raiders. He’ll be challenged if Asomugha leaves.

8. Antoine Cason, San Diego: Cason is an up-and-coming player. He was very solid is his first season as a starter last year.

9. Brandon Carr, Kansas City: Carr is a strong right cornerback. He and Flowers make a nice tandem.

10. Bob Sanders, San Diego: The new Charger has to show he can stay healthy. If so, he’ll be a great pickup.

11. Tyvon Branch, Oakland: Branch is a good, strong player, but he still has to improve.

12. Michael Huff, Oakland: Huff is decent, not great. He could leave in free agency.

13. Andre Goodman, Denver: He is nearing the end of his career, but he’ll probably start in 2011.

14. Brian Dawkins, Denver: This could be his final season.

15. Steve Gregory, San Diego: He is a solid role player.

16. Kendrick Lewis, Kansas City: Lewis and Berry could be a pair for years.

17. Chris Johnson, Oakland: He could start if Asomugha leaves and the youngsters aren’t ready.

18. Javier Arenas, Kansas City: He could be a good nickel for the long term.

19. Mike Mitchell, Oakland: It’s time for this 2009 second-round pick to make a move.

20. Rahim Moore, Denver: I have a feeling this second-round pick will be ranked much higher next year.

That's quite a statement. I'ld have to think more, but seems there must be some other good DBs out there. Green Bay? Certainly we are one of the youngest with most promise though.

I dream of the day we have another pair like the early Hasty/Carter years...

And our front seven are starting to come together as well. Resign Smith and Edwards, and if our draft performs and our young players keep stepping it up... we may just have a defense to be proud of again.

I can't wait to say "Oh man, nice coverage sack" instead of $3it like "Mother****! They're throwing deep on Bartee again!

"

Yep. When John Browning is your best defensive lineman... that is very bad.

It's funny watching the troll fan of the shittiest team in the AFC complain that his horrible defense deserved to have 4 corners at the top of a rankings sheet.

Oh must've been a push off.

There were several; however, the one at 4:47 stands out too.

You weren't aware that Bob Sanders is a Charger?

The only ones that will be aware that Sanders is a Charger are the team website guys and the training staff.

**MahiMike** · 07-06-2011, 08:17 AM

Wow, Berry already top 3? I'll bet the Brandon's don't appreciate that.

Do you see any flaws in your football team? Any at all?

And don't say injuries. Injuries don't cause a team to go 4-12 against the ****ing NFC West. Tell me truly. You don't see any flaws whatsoever in your team, do you? They're perfect, aren't they? You think that there isn't much at all that your team could do to improve, is there?
