Exactly!
Revis and Newman are on the list too. I would love to have both of those guys.
Statistics aren't based on game film and don't factor in the the most important part of good coverage, A passrush!
No cornerback can cover for an extended period of time and that includes Deion and Darrell in their prime.
I hate Dhall but these rankings are bullshit. Hall is a gambler who times when he is going to jump his route based on the blitz package and reading the route. If the blitz is picked up, He gets burned because he is out of position. If the blitz is successful and they try to make a quick throw, Dhall will pick it off. My gripe with Hall is that he plays off too much hoping for an errant throw instead of pressing the WR and forcing a perfect throw.
The Redskins had very little pressure all year and the worst free safety play in the league. I'm shocked that Rogers isn't on the list...

One thing I want to make clear. Both in this article, and in Wednesday's, people seem to be confusing "presentation of numbers" with "analysis." This isn't analysis. This is presentation of numbers. The ranking in a single statistical metric does not tell you a player's worth. You need to look at the whole picture in context. I'm honestly not even trying to do that in this article.
