Here are Dunta Robinson's stats:

Here are Bodden's:

I would say from looking at the stats that they are comparable with the edge going to Bodden on an interception for a TD and lots of passes defended.

The usual cornerback stats are always insufficient because what really matters is often the CB is target and how well he performs with regards to all of those times he's targeted.

That said, I thought that Wilhite kid would be the one suffering the most after last year's preseason game...but he got the starting job from O'Neil.

Is there a short list for Lito Shepphard yet?

Thanks for the link.

Wow, Dunta Robinson is on the very bottom of the list. Was he suffering from an injury or somehting?

Well those numbers can become interesting, say you play a bend/don't break D like we have, you'll give up more catches/higher percentage vs thrown at and the like. There are some very clear cut leaders (Revis, Woodson, etc) towards the top of the list, but when you have a guy ranked in the 90s that shouldn't be there you know that stats can't tell all.

Clearing the way for one of the CBs to come here by releasing Smoot?

Dunta has had a couple of serious injuries over the years. Freakish stuff though so I wouldn't say he has a history. Just bad luck.

re: Peppers signs with the Bears (updated - again)
 

Smoot's release really just means they're ready to give Tryon and Barnes a greater role

I am comfortable with Tryon as the nickel.

So will your new name be TryonSmack? LOL.

I think it just means they want you to change your user name again! :)

Aw come on go easy on him. If anyone needs a name change it's 53Fan and DoughtyDoubter.

True true. I think Gibbs is one of the few names that sticks.
