Wrong, Champ is better at 90%.

I don't know about that. Champ is very good but a little overrated IMO.

I would have to agree. Three years ago he was the clear cut best corner, but I think there are some young guys now to knock him off his throne.

Maybe a bit overrated, but I still would have liked to see Champ stay here, along with Smoot. Smoot might not have regressed if he had stayed put and not get mixed up in the Viking BS. WE got him back and only got a shell of his former self. Carlos and SS get injured too often to be really valuable anymore IMHO. If SS isn't 100% Sunday, TO is going to scorch him at some point.

why don't you look at how many games shawn springs has missed since he came here in 2004....... i am picking up what Springs is putting down. the dude last year had to deal with a rookie safety and reed doughty, who might as well have been a rookie last year at that point. both of which were his over the top help....explains the long plays and 4 dirts TO had. Shawn is a great corner and probably one of the most underrated in the NFL..... if you can name 10 better than him i would be surprised. but he also has the benefit of a experienced dirty30 and experienced reed doughty.....my worry would be the rook horton.
