so does this mean that they didn't "burn" or get past the DB with speed/quickness?

It means Eric Ward,Brandin Cooks, Shaq Evans and Jarvis Landry made a lot of good CB's look silly.

What defines top 50 corners tho?

Also...did you get banned on bb or something?

Top 50 CB's ranked by burn percentage, how many plays they gave up on attempts where they had primary coverage responsibility on the receiver.


No, I didn't get banned, just haven't been logging in there much.

Technically he is tied at 4

I'd rather have someone else taking hits from Cam Chancellor than Cooks...

I know it's been said he's durable, etc, but he hasn't faced NFC west defenses. I keep banging the table for Jordan Matthews at 30, i think he's built to play in our conference and he can take over for crabtree next year.

He also doesn't provide you anything that Crabtree, Boldin and Patton can't already do. Cooks does. Its about adding an entirely different element to your offense. People also really need to cut out this "he's going to get broken in half" rhetoric. Seattle faced plenty of "small" receivers last season and most of those guys had very good games against them. None of them were "broken."

The hysteria about how hard a guy is going to get hit is just plain over the top. To hit a guy who is that fast and that quick, you've got to be able to catch them first, Seattle discovered that with T.Y. Hilton.

Cooks it too small and doesn't play anywhere near his timed speed. He won't hold up in the NFC West. He's overrated IMO.

How come that didn't work out for AJ Jenkins? He's small and fast?

Why isn't Jon Baldwin any good? He's tall and big. That means he should automatically be good right?

See how silly your argument is?

Cooks is far better than AJ ever was. Better athlete and a better receiver. Cooks is small but very tough, strong, and has a mean streak in him when he's on the field (ala Steve Smith, Desean Jackson) - things AJ never had. AJ is pretty soft and played even smaller than he already was.

Also don't think AJ has that elite drive or motivation to be great. Cooks attitude, enthusiasm and his confidence gives me no doubt that he has IT. Think Cooks would show up to training camp overweight and decline to run the hill with the GOAT? Nope.

There's plenty of reasons why AJ didn't work out, it's not purely his size or speed.

1 thing you guys dont see is the guy heart for football which is why he will succeed over Jenkins and Baldwin they dont have the passion for the game

brandin cooks is a tough little sob
