It's one of those things that gets said, then gets parroted a lot. Apple talked like he was a top 5 corner, which turned people off, but he was solid enough to come in as the #1 corner replacing Awuzie and allow the team to go on a 10-game win streak. That just doesn't happen when you have even one corner that is not good. The opposing QB would take advantage of that weakness over and over. Apple held up.
