Who's the best cornerback in the NFL?

[Midnight Flyer]

Awright guys, who do you think is the best cornerback in the NFL (past or present)? :moose:

[Jackrabbit379]

Everson Walls 8)

[Mr. Ford95]

Dick "Nighttrain" Lane

[Jackrabbit379]

oooh. Yeah,I saw a documentry on ESPN about him a long time ago,and I couldnt believe it.

[Kid Dynamite]

Come on, this shouldn't even be a topic of discussion, how can yall over look Ahmad "Burnt Toast" Carroll... geez

Damn-You beat me to it :P

[Kid Dynamite]

Seriously though, does this include all DB's or just CB's? My vote if it's just CB's would be Rod Woodson, b/c of his tenacious D, but also b/c of his ability to return kicks. Now, if we are are looking at DB's overall, I'd have to go w/Ronnie Lott. That dude was a machine.

[yoopr]

well if it included all DB's I'd Put down LeRoy Butler-what an awesome guy

[Jackrabbit379]

Fred "The Hammer" Williamson


Bill Bates :P

Fred "The Hammer" Williamson


Bill Bates :P

For some reason I KNEW a Texan would mention Bates. Gotta admit he was good.

[Jackrabbit379]

Yeah. Thought I would throw him in there. :P

Yeah,LeRoy Butler was a mean man. :shock: :P The Pack has had some really good talent over the years. Correct me if I'm wrong,but wasnt it LeRoy Butler that invented the leap thingie,when the guys jump up in the end zone,and the crowd hugs them?

That's called "The Lambeau Leap"! 8)

[Mr. Ford95]

"The Hammer" was a wimp compared to Jack Tatum of the Raiders. Tatum would bust his own mother open if he ever got the chance.

Nighttrain Lane was scary bad, the NFL invented a few rules to stop him from injuring WR's trying to catch passes. You aren't allowed to clothesline a guy nor grab them by the facemask and tackle them these days, but those were HIS ways to tackle someone.

[Jackrabbit379]

That Raider secondary was nasty. Ive seen video footage about those guys.

[Twilight Flyer]

Whether you liked his flashiness or not, Deion Sanders for all around pure CB talent, has to be mentioned in the same group as one of the best. Even more so for his abilities to return kicks and to double as a WR. The guy was flat out talented.

Add Jason Sehorn to that group, too.

[Jackrabbit379]

Why dont we add T.O to the list as well. He is as flashy as that neon prime time show off. :P

Add Eugene Lockhart too. Oh wait,he was a linebacker. Sorry. :P

[yoopr]

Leap "THINGIE"???????? :shock:
That's the Lambeau LEAP to you MISTER :P
and Yes-LeRoy started it-Came from playing for Bobbie Bowden to the Pack where he played his ENTIRE career. Wish he was still there.

[Mr. Ford95]

Dieon was good for his talent to play different positions but he couldn't tackle worth a darn. He would give the guy an "OLAAA" and attempt to arm tackle them.

[Midnight Flyer]

Add Jason Sehorn to that group, too.

Ten-four on Jason Sehorn! He's in the top five best, if not the best! Batman Carrol could be good if he'd quit letting his mouth overload his ass! 8)

Ok,ok. Im sorry. I'm not swiss,or cheddar :shock: :P ,so I didn't know what the exact name was,but,I knew it was leap something. :P I thought that he did. I remember hearing one time,that he was one of the few that did it at first. For what I remember,he was pretty tough.
