Who takes on Sherman and Browner?

Our running game/pistol/current crop of WR when healthy should be more than enough to score on every team out there. The only match up I worry about is the one with the Seahawks. If they're gonna be beating up 49ers WR's all day, need someone to smack em back.

My dream would be Anquan Boldin, but he's still under contract. Does anyone else fit that mold? Tough, strong, physical WR?

Da'Rick Rogers out of Tennessee Tech, teams pretty much just said f**k it and stopped trying to press cover him, too physical, too strong.




Keenan Allen of Cal is another one that is pretty physical.




Generally though I think you beat really physical corners such as Browner, through quickness, not by out-muscling them, you beat them off the line, make good cuts, gain separation as bigger cornerbacks tend to struggle more moving their hips.

Good points, I completely agree. I also think there's something to be said mentally about having someone physical lining up against Sherman and Browner, letting them know that it's not gonna be easy.

Thanks for the info on the Allen and Rogers, will check them out.
