same for culliver who i think is going to surprise people. i really feel we have 2 lockdown corners on the outside in him and brock.
I feel like neither is shutdown corner
cully's major weakness is getting beat deep and often inability to find the ball in the air. he is prone to some horrible games (see lloyd destroying him in 2012, superbowl, and a few other games where he was lucky to have crappy QBs overthrow the ball). his man skills are great but those two things are concerns for me
brock's major weakness is being too eager to jump routes, which can come back and bite him in the ass (see jags TD last year)
obviously no corner out there is perfect, but I feel like we're far away from labeling these two lockdown corners just yet.
brock, again last year was his 1st chance to get in there, now he's a "vet' and from all accounts spent the summer working on the mental aspect as well. im saying lock down potential because we've seen them both shine early, and given the time that they've had to study if they just stick to what they know, there aren't any physical weaknesses between the 2. only mental
