Like I said, with pass rushers they're basically all over the board. Would you like to look at the top 10 Int leaders in 2010?
1. Ed Reed- 1st rd
2. Devin McCourty- 1st rd
3. Troy Polamalu- 1st rd
4. Asante Samuels- 4th rd
5. Joe Haden- 1st rd
6. Deangelo Hall- 1st rd
7. Aquib Talib- 1st rd
8. Tramon Williams- Undrafted
9. Terrance Newman- 1st rd
10. Earl Thomas- 1st rd
So leaders in INT's 8 out of 10 in the 1st rd. Now who do you consider shut down corners?
1. Darrell Revis- 1st rd ok
2. Nnamdi Asomugha- 1st rd look at their earlier seasons according to their pass defense
3. Charles Woodson- 1st rd just look at their pass-rush
4. Champ Bailey- 1st rd the broncos D sucks anyway...
5. Antonio Cromartie- 1st rd overrated guy, sorry
6. Nate Clemens- 1st rd look at our pass defense
7. Ronde Barber- 3rd rd
Actually no it cant, that logic does not hold water. Look at one of the best DE/OLB's in the game, a true sack master, DeMarcus Ware. Ware once again put up double digit sacks, 15 to be exact. By your logic his presence alone should of shut down the opposing teams passing game. Well, Dallas finished up at the back of the pack, 26th in passing D. And most mocks and intelligent guessing has Dallas going after the best CB available to them in the first, Prince Amukamara. So why would Dallas burn a high draft pick on a CB if a great OLB can shut down passing games alone?
this
a great/elite pass rusher will probally get to a qb (pressurehit,sack) maybe around 10 plays at most maybe a god shutdown corner will help your D on practically every play
