I think Redskins21's coverage skills are a little suspect. Look back to the Giants game for the move Buress put on him when they were one on one. Dallas31's coverage skills are even more suspect.
However, Dallas 31 has much better hands and so makes INTs more regularly. In that regard, he and Ed Reed are the best in the league.
While both are excellent against the run, Redskins21 simply has a gift of forcing fumbles from RBs. If they had an annual award for the best fumble forcer in the league, 21 would win hands down.
