Why do virtually all of the NFL defensive coaching genius' appear to try to create a negative mis-match at the Corner Back position?
These guys get paid a fortune to coach a little boys game and yet over and over and over again they use 6 foot tall CB's to try to defend receivers who are sometimes 1/2 foot taller?
Is there some unwritten NFL rule that when receivers like T.O. or Burress or Moss or Larry Fitzgerald or Braylon Edwards or Antonio Gates or Brandon Marshall or Marques Colston go up against a DB that they must have a 4" to 7" height advantage?
The Packers Al Harris is probably one of the better "cover" CB's in the NFL. And he is also one of the bigger ones since he's over 6 foot tall. But if I had not been a Packer fan, it would have been comical to watch him trying to cover Owens and Burress and that big kid who plays for the Lions and Jerry Porter this season. They simply ate him up.
Are these coaches brain dead or what? Get some damn DB's who are at least close in size, speed, and strength to the guys they are trying to defend.
And then there is the exact opposite situation on why the offensive coaches don't take even more advantage of this nonsense but I won't even get into that right now.
