Cornerback Watch 2014

Darrelle Revis gave up a TD yesterday to Mike Wallace and generally had trouble tracking him around. I believe he had 2 PD as well, but I just have one question:

Did Revis give up more or less TDs on Sunday than Richard Sherman gave up on Thursday?

Tonight: Phillip Rivers craps on Patrick Peterson.

Everyone knows that getting burned by the opposing teams top receiver is way better than shutting down 1 side of the field all game.

Joe Haden also got lit up by Antonio Brown yesterday. Brown just flat out embarrassed him.

Antonio Brown also lit up that punter too.

Yeah, I really didn't like that. He friggin' karate-chop kicked him in the head, his foot KICKED forward right before impact, no attempt at avoiding/mitigating it. I don't believe for a second that he couldn't have lessened the impact if he had wanted to.

Revis didn't play man against the Dolphins, he played one side.

I didn't like it in principle...but I did laugh my ass off.

Brown is such a stud. He's like an elite version of Golden Tate.

Revis also had two pass deflections yesterday, it wasn't a bad day for him overall, IMO. Haden, on the other hand...Whoa.

Yeah, that was dirty.

It did look like he was attempting a hurdle. It also looked like when he realized he didn't have the air to complete said hurdle, he become 100% committed to his leaping face kick.

Peterson and Revis played almost exclusively at LCB to open the season. Results were mixed.

Week One highlights:





Meanwhile... (not week one, but you get the point)

Lol, Revis clearly got burned.

I find it interesting that NE and ARZ both decided to just try and take away 1/3 of the field and roll coverage to the other 2/3 of the field as well. I wonder if that was just a matchup thing for those teams in Week One or if they adopt that strategy throughout the season.

I suppose that I should go ahead and give the link to the PFF article that DavidSeven got those GIFs from: https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2014/09/10/analysis-notebook-week-1-2/

The old double-move. I'll be shocked if SD doesn't try this against Sherman. That seems to be the best way to attack him.
